Compute $121_3+2122_3-1200_3-2111_3$. Express your answer in base 3.
1 answer:
Answer:
-221 base 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to calculate the value of the numbers in base 3. One of the ways to do that is to first convert each number to base 10. Do the arithmetic, then convert back to base 3.
121 base 3 +2122 base 3 - 1200 base 3 - 2111 base 3
Let's convert to base10
See attachment for details
From the workings,
121 base 3 + 2122 base 3 - 1200 base 3 - 2111 base 3 = -221 base 3

To enable the completion of the proof that line <em>l</em> is parallel to line <em>m</em>, a
diagram showing the lines and their common transversal is attached.
The completed two column proof is presented as follows;
Statement Reason
1. ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles 1. Given
2. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° 2. <u>Definition of supplementary ∠s</u>
3. ∠1 and ∠3 are supplementary angles 3. Exterior sides in opposite rays
4. <u>m∠1 + m∠3 = 180° </u> 4. <u>Definition of supplementary ∠s</u>
5. m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠1 + m∠3 5. <u>Transitive property of equality</u>
6. <u>m∠2 = m∠3 </u> 6. <u>Subtraction property of equality</u>
7. l ║ m 7. <u>Converse of alternate interior </u>
<u>angles postulate</u>
Reasons:
- Reason for statement 2: Supplementary angles are defined as two angles that sum up to 180°
- Reason for statement 3: Two angles are supplementary if the exterior sides that form each angle are opposite rays (rays that are drawn out infinitely in opposite direction but have the same endpoint)
- Statement 4: Mathematical expression of the sum of ∠1 and ∠3; Reason for statement 4 is the definition of supplementary angles
- Reason for statement 5: Transitive property of equality describes the property that if a number <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>, and <em>z </em>= <em>y</em>, then <em>x</em> = <em>z</em>.
- Statement 6: Subtracting m∠1 from both sides of the equation in statement 5. gives; m∠1 + m∠2 - m∠1 = m∠1 + m∠3 - m∠1 ⇒ m∠2 = m∠3. Reason for statement 6 is the subtraction property of equality
- Reason for statement 7: The converse of the alternate interior angles postulate states that if the alternate interior angles formed between two lines and a common transversal are congruent, the two lines are parallel.
