Answer:

That Ratios aren't equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: DE is || to BC.

So in order to make this false then we have to say that the sides aren't proprtional, making it not possible to get the ratios equal.

(See the Triangle proprtionality theorem or the triangle midsegment theorem)

$\bf \cfrac{n^2+3n+2}{n^2+6n+8}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{n^2+3n+21}{(n+4)(n+2)}-\cfrac{2n}{n+4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so our LCD will just be (n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(n+2)(2n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~(2n^2+4n)}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{n^2+3n+2~~~~-~~~~2n^2-4n}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\implies 
\cfrac{-n^2-n+2}{(n+4)(n+2)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-(n^2+n-2)}{(n+4)(n+2)}\implies \cfrac{-\underline{(n+2)}(n-1)}{(n+4)\underline{(n+2)}}\implies \cfrac{-(n-1)}{n+4}\implies \cfrac{1+n}{n+4}$

A = (a,7) and m = (2a,2) and m is the midpoint of ab what are the coordinates of B?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinates of B(x,y).

as M is midpoint of AB so,

2a = (x+a)/2

4a = x + a

x = 4a - a

x = 3a

Now for we will find y

2 = (7+y)/2

4 = 7 + y

y = 4 - 7

y = -3

Hence coordinates of B are ( 2a, -3 )
