Question 14, Part (i)
Focus on quadrilateral ABCD. The interior angles add to 360 (this is true for any quadrilateral), so,
A+B+C+D = 360
A+90+C+90 = 360
A+C+180 = 360
A+C = 360-180
A+C = 180
Since angles A and C add to 180, this shows they are supplementary. This is the same as saying angles 2 and 3 are supplementary.
==================================================
Question 14, Part (ii)
Let
x = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
Back in part (i) above, we showed that y + z = 180
Note that angles 1 and 2 are adjacent to form a straight line, so we can say
x+y = 180
-------
We have the two equations x+y = 180 and y+z = 180 to form this system of equations
Which is really the same as this system
The 0s help align the y terms up. Subtracting straight down leads to the equation x-z = 0 and we can solve to get x = z. Therefore showing that angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent. We could also use the substitution rule to end up with x = z as well.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic ax^2 +bx +c, the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a).
Here, we have a=2, b=-8, so the axis of symmetry is ...
x = -b/(2a) = -(-8)/(2(2)) = 8/4
x = 2
