Yana is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below: A trian
gle ABC is shown. D is a point on side AB and E is a point on side AC. Points D and E are joined using a straight line. The length of AD is equal to 4, the length of DB is equal to 5, the length of AE is equal to 6 and the length of EC is equal to 7. She starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC. Which inequality will she use to contradict the assumption? 4:9 ≠ 6:13 4:9 ≠ 6:7 4:13 ≠ 6:9 4:5 ≠ 6:13

Please see attached file for the triangle’s figure:
Going with the image attached, if DE is parallel to BC<span>
then
<span>4: (4 + 5) = 6 : (6 + 7).
Therefore, the inequality that she will use to contradict the assumption</span>
is 4:9 ≠ 6:13</span>.
To add, a relation that holds
between two values when they are different in mathematics is called an inequality. A is not equal to b also means the notation a ≠ b.
</span>Inequalities are governed by the following properties<span>:
Transitivity</span></span>
Converse
Addition and subtraction
Multiplication and division
Additive inverse
Multiplicative inverse
<span>Applying a function to both sides</span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an equation for which you need to solve for the value of the missing angle beta.
sin(15) has a decimal answer that you will find on your calculator. Finding that value makes this equation then
cosβ = .2588190451
Now use the 2nd button and then the cos button to find the angle that has a cos of that decimal. When you hit 2nd then cos, you should see this on your screen:
cos⁻¹ (
After that open parenthesis, enter you decimal then hit the enter button to find the angle. You should get 75, which is Choice B.
For any polynomial equation, The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells you that the highest degree present will tell you how many complex roots the equation has. There are only two terms, "" and "3". The
term has a degree of 5, its exponent. The 3 term has a degree of zero, because you could write it as
using the zero exponent rule.
The degrees present are 5 and 0. Choose the highest one, 5. So, the answer here is D.
