Examine the diagram, where AB←→ is secant to the circle at points A and B, and CD←→ is secant to the circle at points C and D. The lines intersect inside the circle at point P, which is not the center.
A circle with no center shown and two secants as described in the text. Segment B P equals 6, segment C P equals 7, and segment D P equals 12.

What is the length of AP¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯?
Enter the correct value.

In the secant secant theorem,

AP × BP = CP × DP

AP × 6 = 7 × 12

AP = 7 × 2 = 14

14

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3
