DENIUS [597]4 years ago

Kepler believed in the Copernican system and sought the key to reconciling Tycho’s observations with a heliocentric model for the solar system. In addition to his mathematical genius, his philosophical contribution was huge - as described by Einstein: "[Kepler] had to realize clearly that logical-mathematical theorizing, no matter how lucid, could not guarantee truth by itself; that the most beautiful logical theory means nothing in natural science without comparison with the exactest experience. Without this philosophical attitude, his work would not have been possible." (from the introduction Einstein wrote for Baumgard & Callan's 'Johannes Kepler: Life and Letters' (1953)). Kepler's focus on fitting the exact observations from Tycho led him to abandon the idea that the planets had to move on combinations of circles, a bit of logical-mathematical theorizing that had held sway for 1800 years!

Answer:

The correct statement would be: The positive number is 1/2 unit less than the opposite of the negative number.

Step-by-step explanation:

All stamemts are true except for the last one:

<em>The positive number is 1/2 unit more than the negative number.</em>

We can see in the plot that 1.5 is above zero and -2 is below zero.

So, -2<1.5

The opposite number of -2 is 2 and we can see that opposite number is 1/2 greater than 1.5. So, -2<1.5<2

write an equation with the solution x=20 the equation should have the variable on both sides a fractional coefficient on the lef
photoshop1234 [79]

Consider the equation

\dfrac{1}{4}x-5=\dfrac{x-20}{3}.

It is easy to see that x=20 is a solution of this equation, because when x=20:

\dfrac{1}{4}x-5=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 20-5=5-5=0,

\dfrac{x-20}{3}=\dfrac{20-20}{3}=\dfrac{0}{3}=0.

Also this equation have:

1. the variable on both sides;

2. a fractional coefficient on the left side;

3. a fraction on the right side.

A) give stating reasons five other angles each equal to x<br>b) prove that AECF is a parallelogram ​
Gennadij [26K]

Simple Proof:

a) In the image, we know that ABCD is a parallelogram and that means opposite angel measures should be the same. We know that angel DCB is made up by angel 1 and 2, and angel DAB and DCB are equal and angel DAB is made up by angel 1 and <em>x</em>. So now we can conclude that angel <em>x</em> is equal to angel 2.

b) According to the definitions of a parallelogram, opposite angel measures have to be the same, while AECF have angle 1 to angel 1 and angel 2 to angel 1. We can conclude that AECF is <u>NOT</u> a parallelogram. (Sorry, you didn't give me the full question so some information remains unclear. )

My name is Ann [436]
Im assuming its x^2+4x+3.....for x squared right.
First get the product of two numbers that equal to 3 (+3 * +1)
But also add up to 4 (+3 + <span>+1</span>)
so you apply them to your x^2
