Answer: True.

The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid who is known as inventor of geometry.

The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.

Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.

This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.

As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .

Ok so the line of symmetry is x=-4
The vertex is (-4,-2)
The domain is: xER
The range is: yE(-infinity, -2)

Factor completely.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y² - 12y + 32

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 32) which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term (- 12)

The factors are - 4 and - 8, since

- 4 × - 8 = 32 and - 4 - 8 = - 12, thus

y² - 12y + 32 = (y - 4)(y - 8) → B

The table shows the results of a survey in which 10th-grade students were asked how many siblings (brothers and/or sisters) they

lesantik [10]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Siblings: || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3

Number of Students: || 4 || 18 || 10 || 8

Required

Determine the probability of a student having at least one but not more than 2 siblings

First, we have to determine the total number of 10th grade students

$Total = 4 + 18 + 10 + 8$

$Total = 40$

The probability of a student having at least one but not more than 2 siblings = P(1) + P(2)

Solving for P(1)

P(1) = number of students with 1 sibling / total number of students

From the given parameters, we have that:

Number of students with 1 sibling = 18

So:

$P(1) = \frac{18}{40}$

Solving for P(2)

P(2) = number of students with 2 siblings / total number of students

From the given parameters, we have that:

Number of students with 2 siblings = 10

So:

$P(2) = \frac{10}{40}$

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{18}{40} + \frac{10}{40}$

Take LCM

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{18 + 10}{40}$

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{28}{40}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{7}{10}$

$P(1) + P(2) = 0.7$

Convert to percentage

$P(1) + P(2) = 70\%$

Hence, the required probability is 70%
