This is ridiciulous everyone in my class understands it , and I don't get it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/68627030@N06/6316210261/in/photostream 1 solutions Answer 348616 by jim_thompson5910(28707)   on 2011-11-05 19:14:33 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here are the following reasons (that are missing from the given ones) b. Interiors on Same Side Theorem ** c. Definition of Supplementary Angles e. Definition of Congruent Angles g. Definition of Supplementary Angles h. Converse of Interiors on Same Side Theorem ** ** Note: The Interiors on Same Side Theorem states that "If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary." The basic idea here is to use the fact that PV is parallel to QM to show that angles 1 and 2 are supplementary (ie they add to 180 degrees). From there, you use substitution to show that angles 2 and 3 are also supplementary. Then you reverse the logical steps used beforehand to show that because angles 2 and 3 are supplementary, this means that LT must be parallel to MV.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/526618: a taxi begins a fare with inital charge of $2 on the meter and charges 20 cents per one-tenth a mile. how much will a 10-mile journey cost? 1 solutions Answer 348577 by jim_thompson5910(28707)   on 2011-11-05 16:24:16 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it's 20 cents per one-tenth of a mile, then it's 200 cents per mile (multiply both quantities by 10) So it's really $2 per mile. So if you drive x miles, then the variable cost is 2x dollars. Add this to the fixed cost to get 2x+2 So the total fare for driving x miles is 2x+2 dollars. This means that the cost equation is c = 2x+2 Now if you drive 10 miles, then x = 10 and c = 2x+2 c = 2(10)+2 c = 20+2 c = 22 which means that a 10 mile journey will cost 22 dollars.

Quadratic_Equations/526361: 2x^2+5x-1 Find the x-intercepts for the function. x^2+5/2x=1/2 is where I am at now. I don't know how to get the next step to get the answer. 1 solutions Answer 348455 by jim_thompson5910(28707)   on 2011-11-04 19:07:22 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the x-intercepts of , we need to solve for x. Start with the given equation. Notice that the quadratic is in the form of where , , and Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x": Start with the quadratic formula Plug in , , and Square to get . Multiply to get Rewrite as Add to to get Multiply and to get . or Break up the expression. So the exact solutions are or which approximate to or (by using a calculator) So the x-intercepts are (0.186, 0) and (-2.686, 0)
