When we first learn arithmetic, we focus on working with whole numbers. Then, we extend our understanding to fractions and negative numbers. In algebra, we transfer these same skills to expressions involving variables. What elementary skills have you used so far in this course, and how have you extended them?

Scale factor of 2 is used to enlarge a figure as shown below the area of is 18 in.²

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)

Line u passes through points (-52, -18) and (-29, 53). line v passes through points (90, 33) and (19, 56). are line u and line v parallel or perpendicular?
