Summary
Interest in the linguistics of humor is widespread and dates since classical times. Several theoretical models have been proposed to describe and explain the function of humor in language. The most widely adopted one, the semantic-script theory of humor, was presented by Victor Raskin, in 1985. Its expansion, to incorporate a broader gamut of information, is known as the General Theory of Verbal Humor. Other approaches are emerging, especially in cognitive and corpus linguistics. Within applied linguistics, the predominant approach is an analysis of conversation and discourse, with a focus on the disparate functions of humor in conversation. Speakers may use humor pro-socially, to build in-group solidarity, or anti-socially, to exclude and denigrate the targets of the humor. Most of the research has focused on how humor is co-constructed and used among friends, and how speakers support it. Increasingly, corpus-supported research is beginning to reshape the field, introducing quantitative concerns, as well as multimodal data and analyses. Overall, the linguistics of humor is a dynamic and rapidly changing field.Step-by-step explanation:
If you substitute the -8 in for y you will get -72
You can then add the 72 to the other side and get -8x=64
Dividing by -8 to both sides to get x alone will give you x
X=-8

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle is the circumcenter, the center of the circle that contains the three triangle vertices.
If that center is on one side, that side must be a diameter of the circle. The diameter cuts the circle into two arcs, each of which measures 180°.
The third vertex of the triangle and its two legs form an inscribed angle that subtends an arc of 180°. The measure of that angle is half the measure of the arc, so the angle measures 90° and is a <em>right angle</em>.
A triangle with a right angle is a right triangle. QED
