Explanation:

The angles are <em>vertical angles</em> if the opposites of the rays forming one of the angles are the rays forming the other angle.

More formally, if V is the common vertex, and ...

R is a point on one of the rays forming Angle 1
S is a point on the ray that is the opposite of ray VR
T is a point on the other ray forming Angle 1
U is a point on the ray that is the opposite of ray VT

Then angle RVT and angle SVU are vertical angles.

___

Another way to say this is that points R, V, S are collinear, as are points T, V, U, and the two angles of interest are RVT and SVU.

If the above conditions cannot be met, then the angles are not vertical angles.

Please select all the correct choices

sineoko [7]

The correct choices based on the Segment Addition Postulate are <u>C. WX + XY + YZ = WZ</u> and <u>E. WY + YZ = WZ</u>.

<h3>What is a segment addition postulate?</h3>

A segment addition postulate is a part of a segment line that consists of two endpoints and all of the points between them.

For example, the segment addition postulate of line segment, AC will be defined as the sum of the lengths of the segments, AB and BC being equal to the total length AC.

<h3 />

The possible addition postulates that can be created from WZ are:

WZ = WX + XY + YZ

WZ = WY + YZ

WZ = WX + XZ

Thus, the correct choices of the segment addition postulate are <u>Options C and E</u>.

If the leading coefficient of a polynomial function is positive, the graph will go

Greeley [361]

Step-by-step explanation:

the leading coefficient means the coefficient (factor) of the term with the highest exponent of the variable (typically x).

with sufficiently large values of this variable (x - going far enough to the right) this term will "win" in value against any other term of the polynomial expression.

and therefore the sign of its factor (coefficient) will determine, if the curve will go up or down.

a positive factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial larger and larger, making the curve going up to +infinity.

a negative factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial smaller and smaller (more negative and more negative), making the curve going down to -infinity.
