Answer:

NO , an angle is not trisected using only a compass and a straight  edge.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two tools a compass and a straight edge

We need to tell if an angle is trisected using them or not.

Answer is NO , an angle is not trisected using only a compass and a straight  edge.

When we draw a semicircle by point pointer of compass at vertex of angle and then draw a line using points we get when semicircle intersects the arms of the angle. We get angle Bisection.

We again try to bisect we get four equal angles not Three.

So It is impossible to make odd numbers of equal angles from a given angle using a compass and a straight edge.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

No. That problem cited is one of 3 great unsolved problems of antiquity. See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection for details.

Ronald is preparing lemonade for his friends.To make 6 cups of lemonade, he needs q cup of lemon juice.To make 24 cups of lemona
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Solution: We are given:

To make 6 cups of lemonade, Ronald needs q cup of lemon juice.

Now Ronald has to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Let x be the number of cups of lemon juice needed to make 24 cups of lemonade.

Using the proportionality principle, we have:

\frac{6}{q} =\frac{24}{x}

x=\frac{24 q}{6}

x=4q

Therefore, to make 24 cups of lemonade, he needs 4q amount of lemon juice.

64, –48, 36, –27, ...
daser333 [38]

Answer:

f(x + 1) = -(3/4)*f(x)

(second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the sequence:

64, -48, 36, -27, ...

First, we can notice two things:

Each term has a different sign than the previous term, so the relation is something like:

f(x + 1) = -k*f(x)

Now to find the value of k, we can just replace some of the values (for example, the first and the second one)

-48 = -k*64

48/64 = k

3/4 = k

Now, if we use any pair of consecutive terms we should get the same value of k, now let's try to use the second and third terms to see if we get the same value of k:

36 = -k*(-48)

36 = k*48

36/48 = k

3/4 = k

We got the same value, so we can conclude that k = (3/4)

Then the relation that describes this sequence is:

f(x + 1) = -(3/4)*f(x)
