The logic is a bit circuitous/confusing but the best answer is:
<span>"Angle PTR and angle PTS are supplementary angles.".

This means that PQ and RS are straight lines, and that their angles follow the properties or supplementary angles, and opposite angles. 

This implies the more relevant detail that PTR and STQ are opposite angles, and opposite angles are always equal. <span>

Answer:

<em>B. Angle PTR and angle PTS are supplementary angles. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

As R, T, S are collinear and PQ intersects RS at T, so ∠RTP and ∠STP are supplementary angles.

\Rightarrow m\angle RTP+m\angle PTS=180^{\circ}  -------1

As P, T, Q are collinear and RQ intersects PQ at T, so ∠PTS and ∠QTS are supplementary angles.

\Rightarrow m\angle PTS+m\angle QTS=180^{\circ}  ------2

Subtracting equation 1 and 2,

\Rightarrow m\angle RTP+m\angle PTS-m\angle PTS-m\angle QTS=180^{\circ}-180^{\circ}

\Rightarrow m\angle RTP-m\angle QTS=0

\Rightarrow m\angle RTP=m\angle QTS

\Rightarrow m\angle PTR=m\angle STQ

Therefore, to prove that angle PTR is always equal to angle STQ the statement needed is angle PTR and angle PTS are supplementary angles.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Lowest acceptable score = 121.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean test score (μ) = 115

Standard deviation (σ) = 12

The z-score for any given test score 'X' is defined as:  

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  

In this situation, the organization is looking for people who scored in the upper 30% range, that is, people at or above the 70-th percentile of the normally distributed scores. At the 70-th percentile, the corresponding z-score is 0.525 (obtained from a z-score table). The minimum score, X, that would enable a candidate to apply for membership is:

0.525=\frac{X-115}{12}\\X=121.3

When the expression representing the parent radical function is multiplied by , the resulting graph is a
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The first one is reflection because reflection means multiplying the function by a negative constant k the K in this question is representing the -1

The second one is dilation which means to multiply a function by a value of K , that's greater than 1 vertically stretches the function away from the x- axis .

1. Reflection

2 .Dilation

: Below are two expressions. Simplify each and then choose the statement that is true.
fgiga [73]
First, what we should do is simplify both expressions.
 We have then:

 Expression 1:
 
(3x2) 3x ^ 2
 (9x ^ (2 + 2))
 9x ^ 4
 Expression 2:
 (3x ^ 3) ^ 2 (x ^ 2)
 (9x ^ 6) (x ^ 2)
 (9x ^ (6 + 2))
 9x ^ 8
 Answer: 
 The exponents on Expression # 2 are greater than the exponents of Expression # 1.
