2. given a segment with endpoints a and b, what figure can you construct using the steps below?
step 1: put the compass point on a and draw a long arc. be sure the opening is greater than one-half a b.
step 2: with the compass on the same setting, put the compass point on b and draw another long arc. label the points where the two arcs meet as x and y.
step 3: draw modifying above x y with two-way arrow. label the point of intersection of modifying above a b with bar and modifying above x y with two-way arrow as m, the midpoint of modifying above a b with bar.

(1 point)
a perpendicular bisector
a congruent segment
an angle bisector
a congruent angle

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
