1. Quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in circle O
A quadrilateral is a four sided figure, in this case ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that all its vertices touches the circumference of the circle.
A cyclic quadrilateral is a four sided figure with all its vertices touching the circumference of a circle.
2. mBCD = 2 (m∠A) = Inscribed Angle Theorem
An inscribed angle is an angle with its vertex on the circle, formed by two intersecting chords.
Such that Inscribed angle = 1/2 Intercepted Arc
In this case the inscribed angle is m∠A and the intercepted arc is MBCD
Therefore; m∠A = 1/2 mBCD
4. The sum of arcs that make up a circle is 360
Therefore; mBCD + mDAB = 360°
The circles is made up of arc BCD and arc DAB, therefore the sum angle of the arcs is equivalent to 360°
5. 2(m∠A + 2(m∠C) = 360; this is substitution property
From step 4 we stated that mBCD +mDAB = 360
but from the inscribed angle theorem;
mBCD= 2 (m∠A) and mDAB = 2(m∠C)
Therefore; substituting in the equation in step 4 we get;
2(m∠A) + 2(m∠C) = 360
159÷12=13 and the fraction 1/4
Answer:
i dont understand it
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypothenus = sqrt ((x^2 - y^2)^2 + (2xy)^2) = sqrt(x^4 - 2x^2y^2 + y^4 + 4x^2y^2) = sqrt(x^4 + 2x^2y^2 + y^4) = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)^2 = x^2 + y^2
Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,
Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,
And the second one,
The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3
