The median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side. Since there are three sides of a triangle, there are exactly three medians, one from each vertex. They all intersect each other at the triangles centroid.
Hope this helps! :)

30. Justify Reasoning The quotient of two negative integers results in an integer. How does the value of the quotient compare to

Ratling [72]

The quotient of 2 negative integers results in an integer.
-4/-2 = 2
the value of the quotient is positive whereas, the value of the original 2 integers are both negative. The reason being, is that when u divide two negatives, u get a positive.

What are the parallel sides of a trapezoid

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Parallel means that the lines will never cross. If we look at a traditional trapezoid, the top side and the bottom side are straight lines that will never cross one another. The left and right sides are slanted towards one another, to they are not parallel.

Hope this helped. : )

Simplify u^2+3u/u^2-9<br> A.u/u-3, =/ -3, and u=/3<br> B. u/u-3, u=/-3

VashaNatasha [74]

  The correct answer is: Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→  " $\frac{u}{u-3}$ " ; " { u $\neq$ ± 3 } " ;

  →  or, write as: " u / (u − 3) " ;  {" u ≠ 3 "}  AND: {" u ≠ -3 "} ;
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
We are asked to simplify:

   $\frac{(u^2+3u)}{(u^2-9)}$ ;

Note that the "numerator" —which is: "(u² + 3u)" — can be factored into:
  → " u(u + 3) " ;

And that the "denominator" —which is: "(u² − 9)" — can be factored into:
  → "(u − 3) (u + 3)" ;
___________________________________________________________
Let us rewrite as:
___________________________________________________________

→ $\frac{u(u+3)}{(u-3)(u+3)}$ ;

___________________________________________________________

→ We can simplify by "canceling out" BOTH the "(u + 3)" values; in BOTH the "numerator" AND the "denominator" ;  since:

" $\frac{(u+3)}{(u+3)} = 1$ " ;

→ And we have:
_________________________________________________________

→  " $\frac{u}{u-3}$ " ; that is: " u / (u − 3) " ; { u $\neq 3$ } .
and: { u $\neq-3$ } .

→ which is:  "Answer choice: [A] " .
_________________________________________________________

NOTE:  The "denominator" cannot equal "0" ; since one cannot "divide by "0" ;

and if the denominator is "(u − 3)" ; the denominator equals "0" when "u = -3" ; as such:

"u $\neq$ 3" ;

→ Note: To solve: "u + 3 = 0" ;

Subtract "3" from each side of the equation;

→ " u + 3 − 3 = 0 − 3 " ;

→ u = -3 (when the "denominator" equals "0") ;

→ As such: " u $\neq$ -3 " ;

Furthermore, consider the initial (unsimplified) given expression:

→   $\frac{(u^2+3u)}{(u^2-9)}$ ;

Note:  The denominator is: "(u²  − 9)" .

The "denominator" cannot be "0" ; because one cannot "divide" by "0" ;

As such, solve for values of "u" when the "denominator" equals "0" ; that is:
_______________________________________________________

→ " u² − 9 = 0 " ;

→ Add "9" to each side of the equation ;

→ u² − 9 + 9 = 0 + 9 ;

→ u² = 9 ;

Take the square root of each side of the equation;
to isolate "u" on one side of the equation; & to solve for ALL VALUES of "u" ;

→ √(u²) = √9 ;

→ | u | = 3 ;

→ " u = 3" ; AND; "u = -3 " ;

We already have: "u = -3" (a value at which the "denominator equals "0") ;

We now have "u = 3" ; as a value at which the "denominator equals "0");

→ As such: " u $\neq 3$ " ; "u $\neq$ -3 " ;

or, write as: " { u $\neq$ ± 3 } " .
