Answer:
Not a function
Step-by-step explanation:
This is not a function because there are different outputs for the same input.
Answer:
a = -2
Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2
Answer: No, your friend is not correct. You cannot use a similarity transformation to turn a square into a rectangle. Here's why:
1) If you used a similarity transformation, the size and position of the shape would change, but the shape itself remains the same.
2) Squares and rectangles are NOT similar.* Referring to the first point I listed, if the shapes are not similar, then a similarity transformation cannot be used to turn one shape into another.
<em>*Similar means that the edges are proportional to one another, such as a square with sides of 4 meters vs a square with sides of 2 meters: the sides are different lengths, but the shape is the same.</em>
I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment below if you need any clarification. Have a good day, and good luck on your assignment. :)
ED = x - 5 <em>given</em>
DG = 4x - 38 <em>given</em>
ED = DG <em>definition of midpoint</em>
x - 5 = 4x - 38 <em>substitution</em>
-5 = 3x - 38 <em>subtraction property of equality (subtracted x from both sides)</em>
33 = 3x <em>addition property of equality (added 38 to both sides)</em>
11 = x <em>division property of equality (divided 3 from both sides)</em>
ED = x - 5 → ED = 11 - 5 → ED = 6 <em>substitution</em>
since ED = DG, then DG = 6 <em>transitive property</em>
ED + DG = EG <em>segment addition property</em>
6 + 6 = EG <em>substitution</em>
12 = EG <em>simplified like terms</em>
Answer: 12
He has 4 plums left :) (and in case your wondering he still has 6 apples)
