If you mean simplifying -4/8 simplified is -2/4 or -1/2 which in decimal form is -0.5 so it is technically a negative half.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: f(x) = 3(1.7)4x
This can also be looked at as: f(x) = 3 × 1.7 × 4 × x
You can multiply the three values four different ways and they will all be equivalent.
f(x) = (3 × 1.7) × 4 × x = 5.1(4)x
f(x) = 3 × (1.7 × 4) × x = 3(6.8)x
f(x) = 1.7 × (3 × 4) × x = 1.7(12)x
f(x) = 3 × 1.7 × 4 × x = 20.4x
The correct option is D.
Option A. isn't even about quadrilater, so we can immediately discard it.
Option B. statement is true, but has nothing to do with the point of the question. In fact, it is true that every square is in particular a rectangle, but in turn every rectangle is a parallelogram. So, there's no counterexample here
Option C. is false, because a dart is a parallelogram: both of its opposite sides are parallel.
Option D. finally presents a counterexample. In fact, The two bases of a trapezoid are parallel, but the two other sides are not. So, a trapezoid is not a parallelogram, even though it has a pair of parallel sides. This is way, in order to be a parallelogram, it is necessary for the quadrilateral to have two pairs of parallel sides.
