PLEASE HELP ME A researcher posts a newspaper advertisement offering $10 in exchange for participation in a short study. The researcher accepts the first 10 people who respond to the advertisement. Which of the following statements is true about the sample? ) Select one: a. It is not a valid sample because it is only a short study.
b. It is a valid sample because money is offered to participants.
c. It is a valid sample because the first 10 people were selected to participate.
d. It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population.

a)(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9

step-by-step explanation:

(picture explains)

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

y=3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

given the points a(0,4) and b(-4, -8)

eqn of line ab: (y-4)/(x-0)=(-8-4)/(-4-0)

(y-4)/x=-12/-4=3

y=3x+4
