Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:
x^2 + 16 = 0
x^2 = -16
The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.
Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:
±√-16 = ±4i
Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:
(x + 4i)(x - 4i)
If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
Given:
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
To prove:
Line TV || Line QS
Solution:
Step 1: Given
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
Step 2: By the definition of supplementary angles
Step 3: Angles forming a linear pair sum to 180°
Step 4: By transitive property of equality
step 2 = step 3
Step 5: By algebra cancel the common terms in both side.
Step 6: By converse of corresponding angles postulate
Line TV || Line QS
Hence proved.
Answer:
Answer is 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
AOB + BOC = AOC
AOC = 90 since the lines are perpendicular
6x-12 + 3x+30 = 90
Combine like terms
9x + 18 = 90
Subtract 18 from each side
9x+18-18 = 90-18
9x = 72
divide by 9
9x/9 = 72/9
x = 8
AOB = 6x - 12
= 6*8 - 12
= 48 -12
= 36
