We are given to lines XY and VW. Now we need to determine the expression that correctly states that these lines are congruent. One possibility to prove that they're congruent is if they are two separate lines and:
XA is congruent to VB,
AY is congruent to BW
XA + AY = XY
VB + BW = VW
Then we can conclude that if the statements above are true, XY and VW must be congruent to each other.
Another possibility is that they are two sides of an isosceles rectangle XYVW and are opposite sides of the rectangle. <span />
Answer:
My guess is A. Forgive if I'm wrong.
3 1/4 ounces = 3.25 Ounces.
3.25 x 5 = 16.25 ounces (16 1/4 ounces)
Always try putting x=1 and x=-1 to see if we can find a zero.
If x=1 we get 5+8+1-2 which is not zero.
If we change the signs of the odd powers of x we get -5+8-1-2 which is zero so x=-1 is a zero and x+1 must therefore be a factor. Now we can use synthetic division to find the quadratic:
-1 | 5 8 1 -2
5 -5 -3 2
————
5 3 -2 | 0 = 5x²+3x-2 = (5x-2)(x+1).
Therefore the real zeroes are -1, 2/5, since -1 is a duplicate zero (because the cubic factorises into (5x-2)(x+1)²).
