Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?
same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other
Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
Most digestion takes place where?
small intestine
The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.
Solve for c:
9c - 9 < \( \frac{c}{5} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
9c - 9 < \( \frac{c}{5} \)
5 x (9c - 9) < c
(5 x 9c) + (5 x -9) < c
45c - 45 < c
45c - 45 - c < 0
45c - c < 45
44c < 45
c < \( \frac{45}{44} \)
c < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?
Doppler effect
The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.
Solve for x:
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 6) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x - 6) must equal zero:
If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x - 6) = 0, x must equal 6
So the solution is that x = -1 or 6
The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:
electric fuel pump
The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.
