When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. why?

Because division is repeated subtraction.

For example: "10 divided by 2" means "How many times can you
subtract 2 from 10 before the 10 is all gone ?".

When you divide a whole number by ' 1 ', you're trying to find out
how many times you can subtract ' 1 ' from the whole number. 
Of course, the answer is the whole number itself.

Now, when you divide a whole number by a piece less than ' 1 ',
you're trying to find out how many times you can take a piece of ' 1 '
away from the whole number.  Of course THAT will be more times
than the whole number itself.

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

B.the point lies directly on the regression
