Why is it important for the leading coefficient
to be nonzero?

Because if it is zero, then it is multiplied the variable and it will be zero.  For example if I had 0x(squared) + x, it would just be x because zero times any number is zero.  Looking at the problem, I would assume it was quadratic because it had x squared, but it isn't because there are 0 x squared values.

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 16 cm. are you a teacher?

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
