To verify the property (a/b) × (b/a) = 1, substitute a = 3 and b = 4 into the expression: (3/4) × (4/3). Multiplying the numerators and denominators gives (3×4)/(4×3) = 12/12 = 1, demonstrating the property holds true.

A number is a perfect square if it can be expressed as an integer squared. Calculating the square roots or checking divisibility by squares of primes can confirm this. 105 is not a perfect square since its prime factorization includes non-pair factors, and it doesn't yield an integer square root.

The mean is calculated by summing all the numbers and then dividing by the quantity of numbers. For the first five even natural numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), the sum is 30, and dividing by 5 gives a mean of 6.

To find the smallest number by which 180 must be multiplied to become a perfect square, the prime factorization of 180 is 2×2×3×3×5. For a perfect square, all primes should be paired, so multiplying by 5 gives 2×2×3×3×5×5 = 900, which is 30², thus needing to multiply 180 by 5.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. The opposite angles are also equal, and the diagonals bisect each other. These properties can be used to identify parallelograms in geometry problems.

The number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon is given by the formula n(n-3)/2. For a hexagon, n=6, so the number of diagonals is 6(6-3)/2 = 9.

The additive inverse of a rational number is a number that, when added to the original number, yields zero. For -7/9, the additive inverse is 7/9, since -7/9 + 7/9 = 0.

To construct quadrilateral PQRS, start by drawing PR = 7 cm. From point P, draw an arc with radius 5 cm and from R, draw another arc with radius 6 cm. These arcs intersect at Q. From Q, draw an arc with a radius of 5.5 cm, and from P an arc with a radius of 4.5 cm. These intersect at S, forming quadrilateral PQRS.

To solve the equation 3x - 7 = 2x + 5, first isolate x by subtracting 2x from both sides, yielding x - 7 = 5. Then, add 7 to both sides to get x = 12. Hence, the solution is x = 12.

To draw a bar graph, label the x-axis with categories A to E and the y-axis with numerical values from 0 to the largest data point. Draw bars for each category with heights corresponding to their data values: A to 5, B to 8, C to 4, D to 6, E to 3. Ensure equal spacing between bars for clarity.
