Answer:

The width of the compass needs to be set to equal the radius of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that should be added to make this step correct is - The width of the compass needs to be set to equal the radius of the circle.

<u>You can see the complete steps below:</u>

1. Mark a point anywhere on the circle, which will be the first vertex of the hexagon.

2. Now set the compass on this vertex and set the width of the compass to the center of the circle. This setting is the radius of the circle.

3. Make an arc across the circle that will be the next vertex of the hexagon.

4. Now we will move the compass on to the next vertex and draw another arc. Now the third vertex of the hexagon will be drawn.

5. We continue the above step until we get all six vertices.

6. Lastly, we draw a line between each successive pairs of vertices. This forms the hexagon.

Solve x^4 - 3x^2 +2 = 0 using substitution.

Leona [35]

Answer:

x = ± 1 , x = ± $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u = x² , then

$x^{4}$ - 3x² + 2 = 0 , can be expressed as

u² - 3u + 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(u - 1)(u - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1

u - 2 = 0 ⇒ u = 2

Change the variable u back to x

x² = 1 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± 1

x² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{2}$

A teacher writes two equations as shown.

yaroslaw [1]

A) J = (3/8)*(5/15 -6/15) = (3/8)*(-1/15) = (1/8)*(-1/5) = -1/40
.. K = (3/4)*(4/6 -5/6) = (3/4)*(-1/6) = (1/4)*(-1/2) = -1/8

B) (-1/40) +(-1/8) = -1/40 -5/40 = -6/40 = -3/20

C) The opposite of -3/20 is 3/20

D) Real world: I'm answering Brainly.com questions and one asks the opposite of -3/20.
