1. When a poet uses a metaphor in a poem, what is he or she saying? That two things are really different and have little in common.

That something is so different from anything else that it's unique.

That one thing is so much like another that it IS that other thing.

That something is a little bit like something else.

a) what number, when added to negative four, is equal to negative five?

step-by-step explanation:

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

there are no short passages to look at

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
