<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>
Which definition for a ligament did you think was better? Explain. 1- A ligament is made up of tissue that forms a band. 2- A ligament is a band of tough tissue connecting bones or holding organs in place.
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>
A ligament is a band of tough tissue connecting bones or holding organs in place is the better definition.
Option B
<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
Ligament is a type of connective tissue which develops from the mesoderm. Its actually a tough band containing mostly collagen tissue. Ligament joins two bones which forms a joint.
Ligament is formed of collagen fibres which run parallel to each other and this forms a band. It's very tough and this is why, it can hold bones together.
Ligaments that hold organs are actually pseudo ligaments which are actually folds of peritonium that holds the organs in place.
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a relation to be considered a function, all x-coordinates must be different.
Explanation:
Addition of fractions can be accomplished using the formula ...
a/b + c/d = (ad +bc)/(bd)
Usually, you are asked to find the common denominator and rewrite the fractions using that denominator. It is not necessary, but it can save a step in the reduction of the final result. Here, we'll use the formula, then reduce the result to lowest terms.
___
13. 5/6 +9/11 = (5·11 +6·9)/(6·11) = 109/66 = 1 43/66
___
14. 7/20 -5/8 = (7·8 -20·5)/(20·8) = -44/160 = -11/40
___
15. 1/5 -1/12 = (1·12 -5·1)/(5·12) = 7/60
___
Dividing fractions can be accomplished different ways. I was taught to multiply by the inverse of the divisor. ("Invert and multiply.") Here, that means the problem (2/7) / (1/13) can be rewritten as ...
(2/7) × (13/1) . . . . . where 13/1 is the inverse of 1/13.
You can also express the fractions over a common denominator. In that case, the quotient is the ratio of the numerators. Perhaps a little less obvious is that you can express the fractions using a common numerator. Then the quotient is the inverse of the ratio of the denominators: (2/7) / (2/26) = 26/7. (You can see how this works if you "invert and multiply" the fractions with common numerators. Those numerators cancel.)

16. (2/7)/(1/13) = 2/7·13/1 = 26/7 = 3 5/7
