Dean is playing a game with calculators. The 42 participants (including Dean) sit in a circle, and Dean holds 3 calculators. One calculator reads 1, another 0, and the last one -1. Dean starts by pressing the cube button on the calculator that shows 1, pressing the square button on the one that shows 0, and on the calculator that shows -1, he presses the negation button. After this, he passes all of the calculators to the next person in the circle. Each person presses the same buttons on the same calculators that Dean pressed and then passes them to the next person. Once the calculators have all gone around the circle and return to Dean so that everyone has had one turn, Dean adds up the numbers showing on the calculators. What is the sum he ends up with?

Idon’t know but hope this you

Intersecting secant-tangent theorem states that if a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.so to break it down: 1. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p.sr = 21rp = 3x + 3pq = 4x + 4following to equation: tangent squared = the two segments multiplied by each otherso (4x + 4) ^ 2 = (3x + 3) • (21) simplifies to 16x^2 - 31x - 47 = 0 or (16x - 47)(x + 1) x = -1 or x = 47/162. pq acts as the tangent and ps as the secant with an intersection at p (again! )sr = 16rp = xpq = 15(15) ^ 2 = 16 • x225 = 16xx = 225/163. the interesting chords are proportional to each other so a ratio is possible to set up: ap dp 10 3 + x = = —— = pc pb 8 xcross multiple to get 10x = (3 + x)(8)x = 12
