Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot conclude that ΔGHI is congruent to ΔKJI, because although you can see/interpret that there all the angles are congruent with one another, like with vertical angles (∠GIH and ∠KIJ) and alternate interior angles (∠H and ∠J, ∠G and ∠K), we don't know the side lengths.

All the angles could be congruent, but the sides might be different. For example, ΔGHI might be a bigger triangle than ΔKJI, which could make them similar to one another, but not congruent.

For something to be congruent to another, everything must be exactly the same.

How do I solve this quadratic equations by factoring

Aleks [24]

If xy=0, assume that x and/or y=0

so we already gots factored
therfor
assume
3n-2=0 and 4n+1=0
solve

3n-2=0
3n=2
n=2/3

4n+1=0
4n=-1
n=-1/4

n=2/3 and/or -1/4

Answer:

The term "El Nino" refers to the warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific waters that occurs every 3 to 7 years and typically lasts from 9 to 12 months. The 1997-1998 El Nino, the strongest ever recorded, affected climate patterns worldwide. Its effect, combined with an increasing trend in annual global temperatures, made 1998 the warmest year in the 20th century. Suppose you are a climatologist. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the global mean temperature in the current year is different from the global mean temperature in 1998. Assume that the global mean temperature in 1998 is 14.3 degrees Celsius. You obtain a preliminary sample of temperatures from recording stations worldwide, which yields a sample mean of x bar = 15.1 degrees Celsius. Let mu denote the global mean temperature in the current year. Formulate your null and alternative hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the blue drop-down menus that follow.
