Which statement is the if/then conditional statement of the following? Vertical angles are congruent.

An if-then statement must hold under any condition. Let's take it case by case:


A. This one makes sense, and is perfect! If two angles are vertical, then they must be congruent. This holds no matter what. This is your answer.


B. This doesn't hold because Alternate Interior Angles can also be congruent (along with many others). Two angles don't <em>have </em>to be vertical to be congruent.


C. This one is also true because this is the contrapositive of Option A. (Read my reasoning on D to know what a contrapositive is). Therefore, this is correct.


D. This one is the contrapositive of B, which makes it the exact same as B. Thus, this is not the answer. Contrapositive, by the way, just means that it's the inverse and opposite of a given statement. Let's say P is the contrapositive of Q. If this is the case, then if Q is true, P must be true. In our case, Option D is the contrapositive of Option B and since Option B is not true, neither is D.

With some simple rearrangement, we can rewrite the numerator as

2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4 = 2(x^3 - x) - 3x^2 + x + 4 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 2x(x^2-1) - 3(x^2 - 1) + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = (2x-3)(x^2-1) + x+1

Then factorizing the difference of squares, x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1), we end up with

\dfrac{2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4}{x^2 - 1} = \dfrac{(2x-3)(x-1)(x+1) + x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{2x-3 + \dfrac1{x-1}}

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use trial and error to solve this btw that's what I used and once I got to answer choice b, i plugged in the 2 numbers into the equation based of of their axis once i did that the equation now looked like this 9=3+3, when you solve this the equation would then look like this 9=6 and we both know that 9 doesn't not equal 6 so that is your answer.
