Answer:

144 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think of the 3 persons sitting together as "one". So essentially we have 3 + "1" = "4" persons to arrange.

THey can be arranged in 4! ways, which is:

4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24 ways

Now, the 3 persons themselves can be arranged in 3! ways, which is:

3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 ways

Total ways = 4! * 3! = 24 * 6 = 144 ways

Anton will be constructing a segment bisector with a compass and straightedge, while Maxim will be constructing an angle bisecto

Genrish500 [490]

The similarities are;

Compass and a straight edge required for both construction

Both construction includes a line drawn from the intersection of arcs to bisect a segment or an angle

The bases for the construction of both bisector are the ends of segment and the angle to be bisected

The width of the compass when drawing intersecting arcs, is more than half the width of the segment or angle being bisected

The differences are;

Two points of intersection of arcs are used in the segment bisector while only one is requited in an angle bisector
The bisecting line crosses the segment in a segment bisector, while it stops at the vertex of the angle being bisected in an angle bisector

The sources of the above equations are as follows;

The steps to construct a segment bisector are;

Place the needle of the compass at one of the ends of the line segment to be bisected

Widen the compass so as to extend more than half of the length of the segment to be bisected

Draw two arcs, one above, and the other below the line

Place the compass needle at the other end and with the same compass width draw arcs that intersects with the arcs drawn in the above step

Draw a line segment by placing the ruler on the points of intersection of the arcs above and below the line

The steps to construct an angle bisector are;

With the compass needle at the vertex, open the pencil end such that arcs can be drawn on the rays (lines) forming the angle

Draw an arc on both lines forming the angle

Place the compass needle at one of the intersection points and draw an arc in between the lines forming the angle

Repeat the above step with the same compass width from the other intersection point with the rays forming the angle

Join the point of intersection of the two arcs to the vertex of the angle to bisect the angle

Therefore, we have;

The similarities are;

A compass and a straight edge can be used for both construction

A straight line is drawn from the point of intersection of arcs to bisect the segment or the angle

The arcs are drawn from the ends of the segment or angle to be bisected

The width of the compass is more than half the width of the line or angle when drawing the arcs

The differences are;

In a segment bisector, the intersection point is above and below the line, while in an angle bisector only one pair of arcs are drawn to intersect above the line

The bisecting line passes through the segment being bisected, while the line stops at the vertex in an angle bisector

Determine the solution set of x^2-80=0.

Stella [2.4K]

X^2 - 80 = 0
x^2 = 80 ...take the square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
x = (+-) sqrt 80
x = (+-) sqrt 16 * 5
x = (+-) 4 sqrt 5

so x = 4 sqrt 5 or x = -4 sqrt 5

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to (5⋅9x)+(5⋅1), 45x+15, or 15(3x−1).

JulijaS [17]

Part A: Option e: $5(9 x+1)$

Option f: $45 x+5$

Part B: Option c: $15(3 x+1)$

Option d: $(5 \cdot 9 x)+(5 \cdot 3)$

Part C: Option a: $(5 \cdot 9 x)-(5 \cdot 3)$

Option b: $45 x-15$

Explanation:

Part A: The equation is $(5 \cdot 9 x)+(5 \cdot 1)$

Simplifying, we have,

$45x+5$

Taking the term 5 common out, we have,

$5(9 x+1)$

Thus, the above two expressions are equivalent to the equation $(5 \cdot 9 x)+(5 \cdot 1)$ .

Hence, Option e and Option f are the correct answers.

Part B: The equation is $45 x+15$

Taking the term 15 common out, we have,

$15(3 x+1)$

Also, the equation can be rewritten as,

$(5 \cdot 9 x)+(5 \cdot 3)$

Thus, the above two expressions are equivalent to the equation $45 x+15$

Hence, Option c and Option d are the correct answers.

Part C: The equation is $15(3 x-1)$

Multiplying, we have,

$45 x-15$

The above expression can be rewritten as,

$(5 \cdot 9 x)-(5 \cdot 3)$

Thus, the above two expressions are equivalent to the equation $15(3 x-1)$

Hence, Option a and Option b are the correct answers.

"The last time I bought this product, it cost $20.00 but it looks like it costs $29.60 today. Why such a large increase?"

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The company decided to increase the price by $9.60, or by 48%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To measure the price difference in dollars is simple, just subtract the old price from the new one:

$29.60 - 20 = 9.60$

Divide the price change by the old price to find the price increase in percentage:

$9.60 \div 20 = 0.48 \\ 0.48 \times 100\% = 48\%$

What type of number is -296.2i?

posledela

It's definitely a complex number so choose C. Complex numbers are imaginary number because they aren't real so I'm not sure about B. It might not be PURE imaginary
