This is a very well laid out proof. It would good for you to see how carefully this this proof has been set up.
Step Three says
DE = DF ÷ 2
The problem is that at least 2 of the choices will work. I think the best reason is that it is the definition of bisect. The previous statement says in language what statement three says in algebraic notation. So statement 2 is the given statement. Statement 3 tells us that DE is 1/2 DF because it is bisected.

ANSWER FOR BRAINLIEST AND FOR 57 Points If the probability of winning the ball-toss game at a carnival is 20% and the probability of winning the dart game is 15%, what is the probability of winning both? What is the probability of winning either one of these games? Explain your answers.
Answer:
3%, 32%
Step-by-step explanation:
winning 1 game only: two possibilities
a. winning balltoss, losing dart, which is 20%*85% = 17%
b. winning dart, losing ball toss, which is 15%*80% = 12%
so winning 1 game only: 29%
winning both games:
20% * 15% = 3%
winning either one: winning both games+winning 1 game only
29% + 3% = 32%
find a number which decreased by 21 equals twice the opposite of the number
The required number is 7. The expression formed with the given information is x - 21 = 2(-x).
What is an expression?An expression is the combination of variables, constants, and coefficients.
If two expressions are related by an equal in between them, then that is said to be an equation.
Calculation:From the given data,
Consider the required number = x
The number is decreased by 21 i.e., x - 21
Twice the opposite of the number = 2(-x)
So, on equating,
x - 21 = 2(-x)
On simplifying,
⇒ x - 21 = -2x
⇒ x + 2x = 21
⇒ 3x = 21
∴ x = 7
Thus, the required number is 7.
Check:
7 - 21 = -14 and 2(-7) = -14.

9. Raju sells a watch at 5% profit. Had he sold it for 24 more he would have gained 11%. Find the cost price of the watch.
Answer:
400$
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C.P. of the watch = Rs. 100
When profit =5%; S.P. = Rs. (100+5)
= Rs. 105
and when profit = 11%;
S.P. = Rs. (100+11)
=Rs.111
Difference of two selling prices
= Rs. 111-Rs.105 = Rs.6
When watch sold for Rs. 6 more; then C.P. of the watch = Rs.

in how many ways can the letter of word 'MONDAY' be arranged? How many of these arrangements do not begin with M? How many begin with M and do not end with Y
Step-by-step explanation:
Monday has 6 different letters.
and we have therefore 6 positions to put letters.
so, for the first position we have 6 choices.
for the second position the 5 choices, and so on.
that makes all together
6! = 6×5×4×3×2×1 = 720
ways to arrange the letters.
if the arrangements must not begin with M, we are taking one choice away for the 1st position.
we can express that as all the ways with only 5 choices for the first position, or as the total number of possibilities minus the ones that start with M.
1.
5×5×4×3×2×1 = 600
2.
6! - 1×5! = 720 - 120 = 600
now, for the possibilities that start with M but do not end with Y.
that is the same as demanding that the second position does not have a Y.
so, the first position has only one choice, and the second position has one choice less :
1×4×4×3×2×1 = 96

Answer:
f(x) = x³ -4x² +9x +164
Step-by-step explanation:
When a function has a zero at x=p, it has a factor (x-p). When a polynomial function with real coefficients has a complex zero, its conjugate is also a zero.
Factored formGiven the two zeros and the one we can infer, we can factor our 3rd-degree polynomial function as ...
f(x) = a(x -(-4))·(x -(4+5i))·(x -(4-5i))
Real factorsUsing the factoring of the difference of squares, we can combine the complex factors to make a real factor.
f(x) = a(x +4)((x -4)² -(5i)²) = a(x +4)(x² -8x +16 +25)
Finding the scale factorThe value of this at x=1 is ...
f(1) = a(1 +4)(1 -8 +41) = 170a
We want f(1) = 170, so ...
170 = 170a ⇒ a=1
The factored polynomial function is ...
f(x) = (x +4)(x² -8x +41)
Standard formExpanding this expression, we have ...
f(x) = x(x² -8x +41) +4(x² -8x +41) = x³ -8x² +41x +4x² -32x +164
f(x) = x³ -4x² +9x +164
Graph
The attached graph verifies the real zero (x=-4) and the value at x=1. It also shows that the factor with complex roots has vertex form (x -4)² +25, exactly as it should be.
Answer:
[tex]f(x) = (x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so there are a couple of things to note here. The first thing is that there is a complex solution
Complex Conjugate Root Theorem:
if [tex]a-bi[/tex] is a solution then [tex]a+bi[/tex] is a solution and vice versa
Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra:
Any polynomial with a degree "n", will have "n" solutions. Those solutions can be real and imaginary numbers
So since we're given the root: [tex]4+5i[/tex], we can use the Complex Conjugate Root Theorem to assert that: [tex]4-5i[/tex] is also a solution.
So now we know 3 solutions/zeroes, and since n=3 (the degree), we can know for a fact that we have all the solutions due to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.
So using these roots, we can express the polynomial as it's factors. When you express a polynomial as factors it'll look something like so: [tex]f(x) = a(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)...[/tex] where a, b, and d are zeroes of the polynomial. Also notice the "a" value? This will affect the stretch/compression of the polynomial.
So let's express the polynomial in factored form:
[tex]f(x) = a(x-(-4))(x-(4+5i))(x-(4-5i))[/tex]
Simplify the x-(-4)
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x-(4+5i))(x-(4-5i))[/tex]
Now let's distribute the negative sign to the complex roots
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x-4-5i)(x-4+5i))[/tex]
Now let's rewrite the two factors (x-4-5i) and (x-4+5i) so the (x-4) is grouped together
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)((x-4)-5i)((x-4)+5i))[/tex]
If you look at the two complex factors, this looks very similar to the difference of squares: [tex](a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2[/tex]
In this case a=(x-4) and b=5i. So let's use this identity to rewrite the two factors
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)((x-4)^2-(5i)^2)[/tex]
Let's expand out the (x-4)^2
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2+2(-4)(x)+(-4)^2-(5i)^2)[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+16-(5i)^2)[/tex]
Now simplify the (5i)^2 = 5^2 * i^2
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+16-(-25))[/tex]
Simplify the subtraction (cancels out to addition)
[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]
So just to check for the value of "a", we can substitute 1 as x, and set the equation equal to 170
[tex]170 = a(1+4)(1^2-8(1)+41)\\170 = a(5)(1-8+41)\\170 = a(5)(34)\\170 = 170a\\a=1[/tex]
In this case it's just 1, so the polynomial can just be expressed as:
[tex]f(x) = (x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]

If [tex]Z=X-Y[/tex], then [tex]Z[/tex] has range/support
{-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
where we can get
-5 = 1 - 6 in 1 way, hence with probability 1/36-4 = 1 - 5 = 2 - 6 in 2 ways, with probability 2/36 = 1/18-3 = 1 - 4 = 2 - 5 = 3 - 6 in 3 ways, with probability 3/36 = 1/12and so on, so that the PMF of [tex]Z[/tex] is
[tex]\mathrm{Pr}(Z=z) = \begin{cases}1/36 & \text{if } z\in\{-5,5\} \\ 2/36 & \text{if } z\in\{-4,4\} \\ 3/36 & \text{if }z\in\{-3,3\} \\ 4/36 & \text{if } z\in\{-2,2\} \\ 5/36 & \text{if } z\in\{-1,1\} \\ 6/36 & \text{if } z =0 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

A Community theater sold 63 tickets to the afternon fora total of 444 birr, an adult ticket Cost 8 birr achild ticket cost 4 bir, and a senior ticket cost 6 birr. If twice as many tickets were sold to adults as to Children and seniors combined how many of each tick were sold ? ( Use Gaussian elimination method)
The number of tickets sold are:
30 children tickets were sold33 adult tickets were soldHow to determine the number of tickets sold to children and seniors?From the question, we have the following parameters:
Number of tickets = 63
Total amount = 444 Birr
Adult ticket = 8 Birr per adult
Children ticket = 6 Birr per adult
Represent the children tickets with x and adults ticket with y.
So, we have the following system of equations
x + y = 63
6x + 8y = 444
Express the equations as a matrix
x y
1 1 63
6 8 444
Apply the following transformation
R2 = R2 - 6R1
This gives
x y
1 1 63
0 2 66
Apply the following transformation
R2 = 1/2R2
x y
1 1 63
0 1 33
From the above matrix, we have the following system of equations
x + y = 63
y = 33
Substitute y = 33 in x + y = 63
x + 33 = 63
Subtract 33 from both sides of the above equation
x = 30
Hence, 30 children tickets were sold and 33 adult tickets were sold

Point A = 20 m north of point C
Point B = 48 m east of point C
Please refer to the attachment below for a graphical understanding
Concept
According to the graph drawn, Point A, Point B, and Point C form a right angle, and the distance between Point A and B would form a right triangle.
Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between points A and B.
Given formula
a² + b² = c²

Amount of Loss means an amount equivalent to the outstanding balance of the principal amount, less any amounts recognized by perfecting rights under a security agreement, together with such interest as the executive director shall permit, to a maximum of such interest as may be permitted by rule.
Given: Mr. Black purchased a television set for $450.00. He subsequently sold the television set at a defeat of 30%.
From the given information, we get
[tex]$4500\cdot \frac{30}{100}[/tex]
simplifying, we get
[tex]$4500\cdot \frac{30}{100}[/tex]
= 1350
Therefore, the amount of the loss exists 1350.

Answer: [tex]\pm1,\pm3,\pm5, \pm15[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can list the possible rational roots of this polynomial using the Rational Root Theorem. This theorem states that all the possible rational roots of an equation follow the structure [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where p is any of the factors of the constant term and q is any of the factors of the leading coefficient.
In this example, -15 is the constant term and 1 is the leading coefficient ([tex]x^4[/tex] has a coefficient of 1).
The factors of -15 are [tex]\pm1,\pm3,\pm5, \pm15[/tex], while the factors of 1 are [tex]\pm1[/tex]. p is can be any one of the factors of -15, while q can be any of the factors of 1.
[tex]\frac{\pm1,\pm3,\pm5, \pm15}{\pm1}[/tex]
The possible roots can be any of the numbers on the top divided by any of the numbers on the bottom. Since dividing by 1 or -1 won't change any of the numbers on the top, the rational roots of this function are [tex]\pm1,\pm3,\pm5, \pm15[/tex].

Take HJ = x, GH = y and GJ = z
x = y + 2z = x + y - 17x + y + z = 73put the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:z = (y + 2) + y - 17} [/tex]
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:z = 2y - 15} [/tex]
now, put the value of x and z in equation 3
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:y + 2 + y + 2y - 15 = 73} [/tex]
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:4y - 13 = 73} [/tex]
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:4y = 86} [/tex]
[tex]{ \qquad❖ \: \sf \:y = 21.5 \: \: in} [/tex]
Now, we need to find HJ (x)
