Start with a angle BAC that we will copy.
1. Make a point P that will be the vertex of the new angle.
2. From P, draw a ray PQ. This will become one side of the new angle.

This ray can go off in any direction.
It does not have to be parallel to anything else.
It does not have to be the same length as AC or AB.

3. Place the compasses on point A, set to any convenient width.
4. Draw an arc across both sides of the angle, creating the points J and K as shown.
5. Without changing the compasses' width, place the compasses' point on P and draw a similar arc there, creating point M as shown.
6. Set the compasses on K and adjust its width to point J.
7. Without changing the compasses' width, move the compasses to M and draw an arc across the first one, creating point L where they cross.
8. Draw a ray PR from P through L and onwards a little further. The exact length is not important.
Done. The angle ∠RPQ is congruent (equal in measure) to angle ∠BAC.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Draw a working line, l, with point B on it.

Open your compass to any radius r, and construct arc (A, r) intersecting the two sides of angle A at points S and T.

Construct arc (B, r) intersecting line l at some point V.

Construct arc (S, ST).

State the domain and range of both the function and the inverse function. f(x) = 8 x + 8 f -1(x) = Domain of f(x): Range of f(x)
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+8}{8}

Domain of f(x): All real values.

Range of f(x): All real values.

Domain of f -1(x): All real values.

Range of f -1(x): All real values

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function:

f(x) = 8x + 8

Since it is a line, we have that both the domain is the range is the real set.

Inverse function:

The domain of the inverse function is the range of the original function, and the range of the inverse function is the domain of the original function.

Finding the inverse function:

Exchange x and y in the original function, and isolate y. So

Original

y = 8x + 8

Exchanging:

x = 8y - 8

Isolating y:

8y = x + 8

y = \frac{x+8}{8}

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x+8}{8}

What is the main cause of waves ?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. ... The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.
