Geometry Problems: Circles, Chords, and Quadrilaterals
Geometry Problems and Solutions
Here are the solutions to the geometry questions:
Cyclic Quadrilateral Angle Sum
Question: The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°. If ‘n’ represents this sum and ‘m’ is also 180°, find ‘m-n’.
Solution: In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is always 180°. Therefore, \(n = 180^\circ\). Given \(m = 180^\circ\), we have:
\[m – n = 180^\circ – 180^\circ = 0\]

Core Numerical Methods: Algorithms for Computation
Implementing Euler’s Method
- Start
- Define function f(x,y)
- Read values of initial condition (x0 and y0), number of steps (n), and calculation point (xn)
- Calculate step size (h) = (xn – x0) / n
- Set i = 0
- Loop:
- yn = y0 + h * f(x0 + i*h, y0)
- y0 = yn
- i = i + 1
- Display yn as result

Intangible Capital’s Impact on Investment-Q Relation
Intangible Capital and the Investment-Q Relation
Based on the research by Peters and Taylor (2016).
Introduction: Shifting Investment Landscape
The neoclassical theory of investment was developed when firms primarily owned physical assets. Consequently, empirical tests of this theory have historically focused on physical capital. However, the U.S. economy has since shifted toward service and technology-based industries, where intangible assets have become increasingly important.

Exponent Rules:
- am ⋅ an = am+n
- (am)n = am⋅n
- a-n = 1/an
- am/an = am-n
Factoring Techniques:
- Common Factor: ab + ac = a(b + c)
- Difference of Squares: a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)
- Quadratic Factorization: ax2 + bx + c = (px + q)(rx + s)
Quadratic Formula:
x = (-b ± √(b2 – 4ac)) / 2a
Example: Solving Quadratic Equations
- Solve x2 – 5x + 6 = 0
- Using the quadratic formula:
- x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)2 – 4(1)(6))) / 2(1)
- x = (5 ± 1) / 2
