What effect does subtraction have on terms in parentheses when you remove parentheses

Mathematics
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago
4 0

nswer:

Terms in parentheses are handled first. If the parentheses are removed, it will change the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

example:

(4-3)2 reduced would be 2     (because the 4-3 would be handled first.)

4-3x2 reduced would be -2     (because the multiplication would be handled first.)

The vertices of a parallelogram are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), C(x3, y3), and D(x4, y4). Which of the following must be true if paral
Iteru [2.4K]

The answer is really none of the above, because all of these have divisions by difference in x, and there are perfectly fine rectangles where those will mean dividing by zero.

To do the problem the way they want us to, we note segments with the same slope are parallel (or collinear); segments with slopes which multiply to -1 are perpendicular.

Let's figure out what each choice is trying to tell us by translating it into parallel and perpendicular. Remember A is point 1, ...

A. ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2))=-1

translated, that's CD║BC and CD⊥BC - contradictory; second half right

B. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and ((y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))=-1

CD ║ AB and CD ⊥ AB - only the parallelogram half is right

C. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_3-y_2)/(x_3-x_2)=-1

CD║AB and CD⊥BC - that's TRUE

D. (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)= (y_3-y_1)/(x_3-x_1) and (y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)×(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=-1

CD║AC and CD⊥AB - nope

Answer: C

The way I'd get the proper expression is with the dot product.

A parallelogram is a rectangle when adjacent sides are perpendicular. It only takes one right angle to make them all right.

Two sides are perpendicular when the dot product of their direction vectors is zero. All the answers have y_4 - y_3 so one side is CD. The other side must be BC or AD; AD would give y_4 - y_1 terms which don't appear among the answer, so let's go with BC.

The direction vectors are

D-C = (x_4 - x_3, y_4 - y_3)

C-B = (x_3 - x_2, y_3 - y_2)

For perpendicularity we need a zero dot product:

0 = (D-C)\cdot(C-B) = (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) + (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

- (x_4 - x_3)(x_3 - x_2) = (y_4 - y_3)(y_3 - y_2)

That's the correct expression, given it's a parallelogram, to demonstrate it's a rectangle. The divisions make it iffy.

Which of the following equations represents a line that is parallel to the line 3x - 2y = 12
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12=3x-2y

2y+12=3x

2y=3x-12

y=(3x-12)/2

y=mx+b

To be parallel to the line above our line must have the same slope or m. The above line has a slope of 3/2 or 1.5 so the parallel line will be

y=1.5x+b, using point (7,10) we can solve for the y intercept or b

10=1.5(7)+b

10=10.5+b

b=-0.5 so our line is

y=1.5x-0.5

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as mc024-1.j
Alex Ar [27]
We have the given I = 10^-1 and I₀ = 10^-12.

Simply plugging in the values to the equation, we have:
L = 10log(10^-1/10^-12)
L = 110 Db

The answer is D.

(I used a scientific calculator in solving for L).

Determine if the two triangles are congruent. If they are, state how you know.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

B) SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles between the two known equal sides are called a vertical angle and are equal. Thus you know Side-Angle-Side proves congruency.
