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.
Answer: A
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x³ + 4x² + 7x + 6
possible rational roots are ±{1, 2, 3, 6}
Try x = -2
-2 | 1 4 7 6
<u>| ↓ -2 -4 -6</u>
1 2 3 0 ← remainder is 0 so x = -2 is a root ⇒ (x + 2) = 0
The factored polynomial x² + 2x + 3 = 0 is not factorable so use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
a=1, b=2, c=3








The factors are:

Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, break it down:
Two is eight less than twice a number
2 = 2x - 8
+8 + 8
10 = 2x
5 = x
Hope this helps :)

Answer:</h2>
4x - 6 + 2x = 3(2x - 2)
4x - 6 + 2x = 6x - 6
[ both sides - 6 cancel each other ]
4x + 2x = 6x
6x = 6x
[ both sides 6x cancel each other ]
0 = 0.
