<em><u>The difference between constructing and drawing geometric figures is as follows:</u></em>


To construct geometric figure you use many tools like protractor, compass, ruler, scale, square, among others. So you need an accurate representation of the geometric figure. On the other hand, to draw a geometric figure you only need a pencil to do that. You don't need an accurate representation of the geometric figure.


<u><em>A real-world example of each:</em></u>


Think about an civil engineer who is constructing a building. He would need many tools to do that. In fact, he would need an building which is an accurate representation of the drawings he made using a software. He would need the accurate measurements and the correct location of each characteristic points of the building. So, this is the construction. On the other hand, when starting with the project, the civil engineer maybe took a paper and began drawing an sketch of his building, he only needed a pencil to do that, so this is the drawing made by hand.

The difference between constructing and drawing geometric figures is that when constructing a geometric figure, you use compass, protractor, ruler, or any scale with accurate measurement while when drawing geometric figures, you just draw with free-hand. It is not exact in measures.

The distance between capeton &amp; Jonesville is 80 miles. The scale on the map is 0.75 in 10 Mi how far part are the cities on
ikadub [295]

Answer:

6 in = 80 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between Capeton and Jonesville = 80 miles.

Map scale : 0.75 in = 10 miles ; this means 0.75 inches on the map represents 10 miles on land.

Hence, If ;

0.75 inches = 10 miles

x inches = 80 miles

Cross multiply :

10 * x = 80 * 0.75

10x = 60

10x / 10 = 60 / 10

x = 6 inches

Hence,

6 in = 80 miles

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation 1/4(x+5)^2-1=3
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

either x = -1, or x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

given   \frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2} -1=3

add one to both sides   \frac{1}{4} (x+5)^{2} =4

im not sure which one comes first. either you multiply both the x and the 5 in the parenthesis by \frac{1}{4}. or you square x and 5

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :   1/4*(x+5)^2-(4)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           1 /4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1                  

 (— • (x + 5)2) -  4  = 0  

  4                  

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (x + 5)2    

 ———————— -  4  = 0  

    4        

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

        4         4 • 4

   4 =  —  =  ———

        1            4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(x+5)2 - (4 • 4)     x2 + 10x + 9

———————     ———————  =  ——

       4                        4      

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.3     Factoring  x2 + 10x + 9  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  +10x  its coefficient is  10 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +9  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 9 = 9  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  9  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   10 .

     -9    +    -1    =    -10  

     -3    +    -3    =    -6  

     -1    +    -9    =    -10  

     1    +    9    =    10    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  1  and  9  

                    x2 + 1x + 9x + 9

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x+1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   9 • (x+1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+9)  •  (x+1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 (x + 9) • (x + 1)

 —————————————————  = 0  

         4        

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 (x+9)•(x+1)

 ——————————— • 4 = 0 • 4

      4      

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  (x+9)  •  (x+1)  = 0

Theory - Roots of a product :

4.2    A product of several terms equals zero.  

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.  

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately  

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product  

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.3      Solve  :    x+9 = 0  

Subtract  9  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -9

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.4      Solve  :    x+1 = 0  

Subtract  1  from both sides of the equation :  

                     x = -1

Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly

Solving    x2+10x+9  = 0   directly  

Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
