Amira is writing a coordinate proof to show that the area of a triangle created by joining the midpoints of an isosceles triangles is one-fourth the area of the isosceles triangle. she starts by assigning coordinates as given. triangle d e f in the coordinate plane so that vertex d is at the origin and is labeled 0 comma 0, vertex e is in the first quadrant and is labeled 2 a comma 2 b, and vertex f is on the positive side of the x-axis and is labeled 4a comma 0. point q is between points d and e. point r is between points e and f. point p is between points d and f and is labeled 2 a comma 0. enter your answers, in simplest form, in the boxes to complete the coordinate proof. point q is the midpoint of de¯¯¯¯¯ , so the coordinates of point q are (a, b) . point r is the midpoint of fe¯¯¯¯¯ , so the coordinates of point r are ( , b). in △def , the length of the base, df¯¯¯¯¯ , is , and the height is 2b, so its area is . in △qrp , the length of the base, qr¯¯¯¯¯ , is , and the height is b, so its area is ab . comparing the expressions for the areas proves that the area of the triangle created by joining the midpoints of an isosceles triangle is one-fourth the area of the

1- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis.2- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in the first question?

Heather is writing a quadratic function that represents a parabola that touches but does not cross the x-axis at x = -6. which function could heather be writing? fx) = x2 + 36x + 12 = x2 - 36x - 12 f(x) = -x + 12x + 36 f(x) = -x? - 12x - 36

Acompany produces packets of soap powder labeled “giant size 32 ounces.” the actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a normal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. to avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. to avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. how heavy does a box have to be for it to be labeled overweight?
