query 9.1.36 Ray MO U ray OM **** How do you express the intersection of the two rays?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

MO

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

17:42:02

** STUDENT SOLUTION:

The intersection of the two rays consists of the elements common to both sets, which would be MO.

However, a union symbol is used in the question and a union is composed of all the elements found in atleast one of the two sets, which would also be MO. **

**** query 9.1.60 5x - 129 vert with 2x - 1 **** What is the value of x and how did you obtain it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Vertical angles are equal.

(5x - 129) = (2x-21)

5x - 129 - 5x = 2x -21 - 5x

-129 = -3x - 21

-129 + 21 = -3x

-108/3 = -3x/-3

36 = x

5x - 129 = 51

2x-21 = 51

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

17:48:12

*&*& Starting with 5x - 129 = 2x - 21 to get

3x - 129 = -21. Add 129 to both sides to get

3x = 108. Divide both sides by 3 to get

x = 36.

To check substitute 36 in for x in the equation and simplify, getting 51 = 51.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Correct answer.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

17:49:23

**** What equation did you solve to obtain x, and how did you get the equation?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(5x - 129) = (2x - 21)

Vertical angles are equal.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

17:49:35

Since the angles are vertical angles, they are equal to eachother, therefore, I set them up to be equal to eachother and then solved.To check myself, I then substituted my answer in for x on both sides of the equation to make sure they were equal.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Correct answer.

**** query 9.1.72 complement 10 deg less that 1/5 of suppl **** What is the measure of the angle and how did you get it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I have tried and tried to figure this one out without success.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

18:46:41

** Let x be the degree measure of the angle. Then the supplement is 180 – x; 10 deg less than 1/5 the supplement is 1/5(180 - x) – 10. The complement is 90 - x.

So the equation is

90 - x = 1/5(180 - x) – 10. Multiplying both sides by 5 we get

450 – 5 x = 180 – x – 50 so that

450 – 5 x = 130 – x. Adding x – 450 to both sides we get

-4x = -320 so thatx = 80.

The complement of 80 deg is 10 deg.

The supplement of 80 deg is 100 deg; 1/5 the supplement is 1/5 * 100 deg = 20 deg, so the complement 10 deg is 10 deg less than the supplement 20 deg. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I understand now.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

18:47:46

**** What equation did you solve to obtain the measure of the angle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

90 - x = 1/5(180-x) - 10

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

18:48:22

Student Response: I determined which equations represented the degree measure of the angle, complement, and supplement. I then substituted those in the equation using the worded problem.

90 - x (complement) = 10 (10 less than) - 1/5 (1/5 of the supplement) 180 - x (supplement).

Correct answer.
