Because 1/2 of 6 =1/3 and 1/2×1/3=1/6

The number 3 can be expressed as a fraction 3/1. If we multiply the fraction 1/6 by 3/1 we get:
1/6 x 3/1 = (1 x 3)/(6 x 1)
(1 x 3)/(6 x 1) = 3/6
Now just simplify the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1 .4x2-9= 2x+3,2x-3

2 .16x2-1=4x-1,4x+1

3 .16x2-4=4(2x+1)(2x-1)

4 .4x2-1=(2x+1)(2x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

16x² − 1  = (4x − 1)(4x + 1) ;  16x² − 4  = 4(2x + 1)(2x − 1); 4x² − 1  = (2x + 1)(2x − 1) ;

4x² − 9 = (2x + 3)(2x − 3)

16x² − 1  is the difference of squares.  This is because 16x² is a perfect square, as is 1.  To find the factors of the difference of squares, take the square root of each square; one factor will be the sum of these and the other will be the difference.

The square root of 16x² is 4x and the square root of 1 is 1; this gives us (4x-1)(4x+1).

16x² − 4 is also the difference of squares.  The difference of 16x² is 4x and the square root of 4 is 2; this gives us (4x-2)(4x+2).  However, we can also factor a 2 out of each of these binomials; this gives us

2(2x-1)(2)(2x+1) = 2(2)(2x-1)(2x+1) = 4(2x-1)(2x+1)

4x² − 1  is also the difference of squares.  The square root of 4x² is 2x and the square root of 1 is 1; this gives us (2x-1)(2x+1).

4x² − 9 is also the difference of squares.  The square root of 4x² is 2x and the square root of 9 is 3; this gives us (2x-3)(2x+3).

State what additional information is required in order to know that the triangles are congruent by AAS. part 2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is to find the third angle

180 - A - <BCA = <CBA

180 - X - <BCX = <CBX

Everything else is OK

<CBA = <CBX                  Equals equated to an equal express = an equal expression.

Now by a little slight of hand, you get the two triangles to be equal by ASA, which always works.

Cheating you say? There is no such thing as cheating if it correct and it works.
