The answer is a) x=-4.5, y=-4.25
Answer:
m∠ABC = m∠BED; Corresponding Angles Theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u> line BC is parallel to line ED m∠ABC = 70° m∠CED = 30°
<u>Prove:</u> m∠BEC = 40°
Statement Justification
1. line BC is parallel to line ED - Given
2. m∠ABC = 70° - Given
3. m∠CED = 30° - Given
4. m∠BEC + m∠CED = m∠BED - Angle Addition Postulate
5. m∠ABC = m∠BED - Corresponding Angles Theorem
6. m∠BEC + 30° = 70° - Substitution Property of Equality
7. m∠BEC = 40° Subtraction Property of Equality
We have that
<span>(c-4)/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2) - 1/(2-c)
</span>- 1/(2-c)=-1/-(c-2)=1/(c-2)
(c-4)/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2)+ 1/(c-2)------- > (c-4)/(c-2)-1/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2)
(c-4-1)/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2)---------------- > (c-5)/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2)
(c-5)/(c-2)=(c-2)/(c+2)------------- > remember (before simplifying) for the solution that c can not be 2 or -2
(c-5)*(c+2)=(c-2)*(c-2)------------------ > c²+2c-5c-10=c²-4c+4
-3c-10=-4c+4----------------------------- > -3c+4c=4+10----------- > c=14
the solution is c=14
the domain of the function is (-∞,-2) U (-2,2) U (2,∞) or
<span>all real numbers except c=-2 and c=2</span>
You would use the method:
c. SSS
That is because since you were not given any angles and only sides of the window you could only prove this with three different sides.
It depends what your trying to get close to. If your trying to get close to a number that is easier to work with 1 4/8 is good because its the same as 11/2 but the closest whole number is 1.
