Answer:

$-2(-4)-2(0)=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2x - 2y = 8$

Required

Gaps: -2( )-2( )=8

The are numerous solutions to this.

One of them is:

Assume y = 0.

So, we have:

$-2x - 2*0 = 8$

$-2x - 0 = 8$

$-2x = 8$

Divide through by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2}= \frac{8}{-2}$

$x= -4$

Fill in the gaps with these values of x and y respectively:

Hence; one solution is: $-2(-4)-2(0)=8$

Write an indirect proof showing that the diagonals of a parallelogram intersect each other

____ [38]

Its an indirect proof, so 3 steps :-
1) you start with the opposite of wat u need to prove
2) arrive at a contradiction
3) concludeReport · 29/6/2015261
since you wanto prove 'diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other', you start wid the opposite of above statement, like below :- step1 : Since we want to prove 'diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other', lets start by assuming the opposite, that the diagonals of parallelogram dont bisect each other.Report · 29/6/2015261

Since, we assumed that the diagonals dont bisect each other,
OC≠OA
OD≠OBReport · 29/6/2015261
Since, OC≠OA, △OAD is not congruent to △OCBReport · 29/6/2015261

∠AOD≅∠BOC as they are vertical angles,
∠OAD≅∠OCB they are alternate interior angles
AD≅BC, by definition of parallelogram
so, by AAS, △OAD is congruent to △OCBReport · 29/6/2015261
But, thats a contradiction as we have previously established that those triangles are congruentReport · 29/6/2015261
step3 :
since we arrived at a contradiction, our assumption is wrong. so, the opposite of our assumption must be correct. so diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.

A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest: Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P. Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

100

= 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r. Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today. Use the same equation: A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.

Which sequence of transformations produces R’S’T’ from RST?

inn [45]

Answer:

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of ΔRST are R(0, 0), S(-2, 3), and T(-3, 1)

The vertices of triangle ΔR'S'T' are (2, 0), (0, -3), (-1, -1)

The points are plotted with the aid of MS Excel, and by observation, we have that the image of ΔRST is located on the other side of the x-axis with each coordinate on ΔR'S'T' shifted 2 units to the right of ΔRST

A translation of ΔRST 2 units right gives;

(0 + 2, 0) = (2, 0), (-2 + 2, 3) = (0, 3), and (-3 + 2, 1) = (-1, 1), to give;

(2, 0), (0, 3), and (-1, 1)

A reflection of the point (x, y) across the x-axis gives (x, -y)

A reflection of the above points across the x-axis gives;

(2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (2, 0) reflected about x-axis → (0, -3), and (-1, 1) reflected about x-axis → (-1, -1), which are the points of ΔR'S'T'

Therefore, the sequence of transformations that produces R'S'T' from RST are;

A translation 2 units right and then a reflection over the x-axis
