99 asap melissa put her cat, herman, on a diet and kept track of his weight. at the end of 4 weeks, she recorded herman's weight change as −4 1/2 ounces. she noticed that he had lost the same amount of weight each week. what is herman's weight change each week of the diet? enter your answer in the box.

-4 1/2
-4.5
-4.5 / 4 = -1.125

 -1.13, or -1 1/8

Since he lost the SAME amount of weight in the four weeks,

you can divide -4 1/2 by 4

-4 1/2 is also -4.50.

-4.50/4= -1.125

He lost -1.125 every week or -1 1/8 pounds every week.

I hope this helps!

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
