The sales of a certain product after an initial release can be found by the equation s=10√5t+15 where s represents the total sales (in thousands) and t represents the time in weeks after release. make a table of values, graph the function and use the graph to estimate the sales 8 weeks after release.

The table is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, here, given function,  s=10√5t+15 where s represents the total sales (in thousands) and t represents the time in weeks after release.

when we put t= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in the above expression, we will get the required table.

Which is,

Number of weeks: 1         2          3          4           5              6        7           8

Total sale:           37.36   59.72  82.08   104.44  126.80  149.16  171.52  193.88

  5.   y=6; de=7; fg=8

  6.   x=4.2; jl=14.2; mn=13

step-by-step explanation:

when chords cross inside a circle, the product of the segment lengths is a constant.

5. dh×eh = fh×gh

  y = gh = dh×eh/fh = 3×4/2 . . . divide by the coefficient of gh

  y = 6

of course, the total chord length is the sum of the lengths of its segments.

  de = dh +eh = 3+4 = 7

  fg = fh +gh = 2+6 = 8

6. this problem works the same way as the previous one.

  x = lk = mk×nk/jk = 6×7/10 = 4.2

  jl = jk +lk = 10 +4.2 = 14.2

  mn = mk +nk = 6 +7 = 13

comment on chords and secants

you can think of the points h (problem 5) and k (problem 6) as points where the chords meet. a chord is part of a secant line, a line that intersects the circle in two points. one can also consider these points (h or k) to be the points where the respective secant lines meet.

then, the product that is a constant is the product of the distance from the meeting point (h or k) to one circle intersection with the distance from that meeting point to the other circle intersection. for problem 5, the constant is the product hd×he = hf×hg.

it turns out that this rule regarding the products of lengths to points of intersection is also true when the secants intersect outside the circle.

that is, you only need to remember one rule to work both kinds of problems.
