Why do you think it's important to know how to perform the more tedious, lengthier process of successive approximation to solve an equation?

There is a line with slope 1/a going through the point (a, a²). find the equation of the line perpendicular to this line at this point. (don’t let this problem intimidate you! solve the problem as you would if i’d given you specific values. just use variables instead.)

What is the next step in the given proof? choose the most logical approach. a. statement: m 1 + m 2 + 2(m 3) = 180° reason: angle addition b. statement: m 1 + m 3 = m 2 + m 3 reason: transitive property of equality c. statement: m 1 = m 2 reason: subtraction property of equality d. statement: m 1 + m 2 = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality e. statement: 2(m 1) = m 2 + m 3 reason: substitution property of equality

What expression is equivalent to (84+16)
