Circle theorems
Circle theorems There are four theorems on angles in circles that you should know. First you need to learn some words.
A D
The straight line AB is a chord. The curved line AB (in bold) is an arc. The chord AB divides the circle into two segments ± the major segment (shaded) and the minor segment (unshaded). b is the angle subtended by AB at C. ACB ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Theorem 1 The angle subtended at the centre of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference.

At the end of each day the mean number absent over the last ®ve days is calculated. So at the end of day 5, the mean over the last ®ve days is
10 7 4 12 6 78 5
At the end of day 6, the mean over the last ®ve days is
7 4 12 6 3 64 5
At the end of day 7, the mean over the last ®ve days is
4 12 6 3 5 6 5
This is an example of a moving average.
Exercise 3 1. Traders on the stock market use moving averages as a guide to the performance of a company's share price. Here are the share prices, in pence, of a company over 30 days. 21 28 22

(a) What was the mean price over the ®rst 10 days? (b) What was the mean price over the 10 day period from day 2 to day 11? (c) What was the mean price over the 10-day period from day 11 to day 20? 2. Here are the prices, in pence, of shares in `Tiger Telecom' over a period of 20 days. 8 15

At the end of each day the mean price over the last 5 days is calculated. 8 7 11 10 9 So the mean price at the end of day 5 is 9p 5 The mean price on day 6
7 11 10 9 7 88p 5
Work out the moving average price of the shares in this way up to day 20 and plot the results on a graph.
