If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

<h3>What is a line?</h3>

A line is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely.

To prove, two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Suppose there are two lines AB and CD intersecting at a point O.

So, the angles a and c ; b and d are vertically opposite.

Now taking line AB,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠a + ∠b = 180°    ...(i)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠b + ∠c = 180°            ....(ii)

Comparing eq (i)  and (ii) we get,

∠a + ∠b = ∠b + ∠c

Therefore, we get

∠a = ∠c

which are vertically opposite angles.

Taking line CD,

Since sum of angles made on a straight line is 180°.

Thus ∠c + ∠b = 180°    ...(iii)

Similarly taking line CD,

∠c + ∠d = 180°            ....(iv)

Comparing eq (iii)  and (iv) we get,

∠c + ∠b = ∠c + ∠d

Therefore, we get

∠b = ∠d

which are vertically opposite angles.

Thus, if two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are equal.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

C.It is a​ one-tailed test since the alternative hypothesis states that the parameter is greater than the hypothesized value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the percentage of students enrolled in an introductory Chemistry class dropped before the midterm. Then null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_{0}: p=10%

H_{a}: p>10%

The alternative hypothesis states that the parameter is greater than the hypothesized value.

If X²+1=2x then what the value of x²?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

x² = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 1 = 2x

→ Minus 1 from both sides

x² = 2x - 1

Given f(x) =
sergejj [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystyle f(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            2\cos(\pi x) \text{ for }  x \leq -1 \\ \\          \displaystyle   \frac{2}{\cos(\pi x)}\text{ for } x > -1        \end{array}    \right.

And we want to find:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to -1}f(x)

So, we need to determine whether or not the limit exists. In other words, we will find the two one-sided limits.

Left-Hand Limit:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f(x)

Since we are approaching from the left, we will use the first equation:

\displaystyle =\lim_{x\to -1^-}2\cos(\pi x)

By direct substitution:

=2\cos(\pi (-1))=2\cos(-\pi)=2(-1)=-2

Right-Hand Limit:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to -1^+}f(x)

Since we are approaching from the right, we will use the second equation:

=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to -1^+}\frac{2}{\cos(\pi x)}

Direct substitution:

\displaystyle =\frac{2}{\cos(\pi (-1))}=\frac{2}{\cos(-\pi)}=\frac{2}{(-1)}=-2

So, we can see that:

\displaystyle \displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f(x)=\displaystyle \lim_{x\to -1^+}f(x) =-2

Since both the left- and right-hand limits exist and equal the same thing, we can conclude that:

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -1}f(x)=-2

Our answer is A.
