Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon may be defined as the polygon that have sides of equal length known as equilateral and angles made up of equal angles, known as equiangular.

The $\text{number of lines}$ of symmetry in a regular polygon is always equal to the number of sides of the polygon. For example, a regular pentagon have 5 sides, so the lines of symmetry of the regular pentagon is also 5, a square having 4 sides also has 4 lines of symmetry.

What is 7/24 by 35/38

Monica [59]

If you would like to divide 7/24 by 35/38, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7/24 / 35/38 = 7/24 * 38/35 = (7 * 38) / (24 * 35) = 19/60

The correct result would be 19/60.

The product of (4z^2 + 7z - 8) and (-z + 3) is -4z^3 + xz^2 + yz - 24. What is the value of x? What is the value of y?

ycow [4]

Answer:

$x=5+\frac{29}{z}-\frac{y}{z}$

$y=5z+29-xz$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $(4z^2+7z-8)(-z+3)=-4z^3+xz^2+yz-24$ ; find x and y.

Let's start with finding x first. Let's distribute the left side of the equation.

$-4z^3+5z^2+29z-24=-4z^3+xz^2+yz-24$

Let's move everything we can to the left side of the equation. Some things will cancel out.

$5z^2+29z=xz^2+yz$

Now, let's move the term that includes $x$ to the left side of the equation. Everything else should be moved to the right.

$-xz^2=-5z^2-29z+yz$

Let's get rid of the negative sign in front of $x$ by dividing both sides by -1.

$xz^2=5z^2+29z-yz$

To get $x$ completely isolated, divide both sides by $z^2$ .

$\frac{xz^2}{z^2}=\frac{5z^2}{z^2}+\frac{29z}{z^2}-\frac{yz}{z^2}$

Simplify.

$x=5+\frac{29}{z}-\frac{y}{z}$

Let's solve for y. We will start with the distributed and simplified equation to make it easier.

$5z^2+29z=xz^2+yz$

Now, let's move the term that includes $y$ to the left side of the equation. Everything else should be moved to the right.

$-yz=-5z^2-29z+xz^2$

Again, let's get rid of the negative sign in front of the $y$ by dividing both sides by -1.

$yz=5z^2+29z-xz^2$

To isolate y, divide both sides by z.

$\frac{yz}{z}=\frac{5z^2}{z}+\frac{29z}{z}-\frac{xz^2}{z}$

Simplify.

$y=5z+29-xz$

Hello i am depresed please help

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Try relaxing, forget all problems at once, take deep breaths, because if you stress it could cause headaches. Listen to calming music, take a break every once in while. Try not to focus on the bad things that happened in your past! Focus on the good things in future that your smartness is allowing you to achieve! Trust me focusing on the bad things in life cause major headaches...never look back always look forward

Which direction does the graph of the equation shown below open?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Option A.

you can rewrite the equation as x = y^2 / 4 + y - 1

If you conserve the traditional x-axis and y-axis, the parabola opens to the right (the symetry axis is parallel to x and the function grows as y grows).
