Answer: uses a visual representation of the logical flow of steps needed to reach a conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A two column proof uses a visual representation of the logical flow of steps needed to reach a conclusion.

It is arranged into two columns named as "statement" and "reason" columns, where each statement must have valid logical and mathematical reason needed to reach the required conclusion..

The reasons in a two column proof are generally given details, vocabulary, definitions, postulates and previously proved theorems.

Hence, the correct statement is "uses a visual representation of the logical flow of steps needed to reach a conclusion."

YM is a median of the triangle below. XM = 2x + 2 and ZM = 4x - 8. What 5 points

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Option A: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image of the triangle given, we can see that:

XM = ZM

We are given that:

XM = 2x + 2 and ZM = 4x - 8

Thus;

2x + 2 = 4x - 8

Rearrange to get;

4x - 2x = 8 + 2

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Thus, XM = 2(5) + 2

XM = 12

How can you tell if a system of equations has infinite solutions?

kirill [66]

To tell if an equation has infinite solutions, the equation will be equal to each other.

For example,

x = x
x + 1 = x + 1
x - y = x - y

And so on...

And in special cases,

0x = 0
0x = 0(y + 1)

They have infinite solutions because there's no constant to determine the variable.

Find the equation of the sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (4, 2, -9) and (6, 6, -3) which has been normalized so tha

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 4)^2 + (z - 6)^2 = 14$ .

(Expand to obtain an equivalent expression for the sphere: $x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between these two endpoints:

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Distance}\cr &= \sqrt{\left(x_2 - x_1\right)^2 + \left(y_2 - y_1\right)^2 + \left(z_2 - z_1\right)^2} \cr &= \sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 + ((-3) - (-9))^2 \cr &= \sqrt{56}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since the two endpoints form a diameter of the sphere, the distance between them would be equal to the diameter of the sphere. The radius of a sphere is one-half of its diameter. In this case, that would be equal to:

$\begin{aligned} r &= \frac{1}{2} \, \sqrt{56} \cr &= \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}$ .

In a sphere, the midpoint of every diameter would be the center of the sphere. Each component of the midpoint of a segment (such as the diameter in this question) is equal to the arithmetic mean of that component of the two endpoints. In other words, the midpoint of a segment between $\left(x_1, \, y_1, \, z_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2, \, y_2, \, z_2\right)$ would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right)$ .

In this case, the midpoint of the diameter, which is the same as the center of the sphere, would be at:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right) \cr &= \left(\frac{4 + 6}{2},\, \frac{2 + 6}{2}, \, \frac{(-9) + (-3)}{2}\right) \cr &= (5,\, 4\, -6)\end{aligned}$ .
