What types of numbers are undefined when they are under a radical sign? If you were dealing with the number √-1, would it be defined if you multiplied it by 2? Would it be defined if you subtracted some real number from it? Would it be defined if you squared it? Would it be defined if you cubed it? Think about raising this number to any positive integer. When would the result be defined? When would the result not be defined? What method would you use to square the value 3 + √-1 ? In what other cases would you use this method? Explain.

Suppose that 15 inches of wire cost 60 cents. at the same rate, how much (in cents) will 12 inches of wire cost

Graph the line with the given slope m and y-intercept b. m=-3,b=1

Given: ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude. prove: ab2+ac2=cb2 right triangle a b c with right angle a. point d lies on side b c and segment a d is drawn. angle a d c is a right angle. drag and drop a reason into each box to correctly complete the two-column proof. statement reason ad¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude, and ∠bac is a right angle. given ∠adb and ∠adc are right angles. definition of altitude ∠bac≅∠bda ? ∠bac≅∠adc ? ∠b≅∠b ? ∠c≅∠c reflexive property of congruence △abc∼△dba ? △abc∼△dac aa similarity postulate abbd=cbab ? ab2=(cb)(bd) cross multiply and simplify. acdc=cbac polygon similarity postulate ac2=(cb)(dc) cross multiply and simplify. ab2+ac2=ab2+(cb)(dc) addition property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd)+(cb)(dc) substitution property of equality ab2+ac2=(cb)(bd+dc) ? bd+dc=cb segment addition postulate ab2+ac2=cb2 substitution property of equality
