Answer:

Trigonometric functions are used in obtaining unknown angles and distances from known or measured angles in geometric figures. Trigonometry developed from a need to compute angles and distances in such fields as astronomy, mapmaking, surveying, and artillery range finding.

If the product of two consecutive integers is 156 what type of equation do you create to solve this problem

zhenek [66]

I'm not sure, but I knew that 12×12=144 so I guessed that it was 12×13 and checked what that was and it was 156, so I guess and check probably

Yuto and Lian are at train stations 1,880 kilometers apart. Yuto boards a train heading east at an average speed of 220

Doss [256]

Answer:

1,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x (km)

=> The time Lian has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

Time = Distance/ Rate = x/ 250 (hour)

As Lian and Yuto travelled from the two opposite train stations and the train stations are 1,880 km apart

=> When two train pass each other, Yuto has traveled 1,880 - x (km)

=> The time Yuto has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

Time = Distance/ Rate = (1,880 - x)/220 (hour)

As Lian and Yuto board at the same time, so that when two trains pass each other, the time both of them have traveled is equal

=> x/ 250 = (1,880 - x)/220

=> 220x = 250 x (1,880 -x)

=> 220x = 470,000 - 250x

=> 470x = 470,000

=> x = 1,000

So that, when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x = 1,000 km

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$=5x+1$ or $=5x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following equation:

$5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}$

The problem asks one to simplify the expression, the first step in solving this equation is to factor the equation. Rewrite the numerator and denominator of the fraction as the product of two expressions. Remember the factoring patterns:

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{9x^2-6x+1}}{1-3x}$

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{-(3x-1)}$

Now simplify the numerator. Remember, taking the square root of a squared value is the same as taking the absolute value of the expression,

$=5x-\frac{\sqrt{(3x-1)^2}}{1-3x}$

$=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}$

Rewrite the expression without the absolute value sign in the numerator. Remember the general rule for removing the absolute value sign:

$|a-b|\\=a -b$ or $(-a-b) = b-a$

$=5x-\frac{|3x-1|}{-(3x-1)}$

$=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}$ or $=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}$

Simplify both expressions, reduce by canceling out common terms in both the numerator and the denominator,

$=5x-\frac{3x-1}{-(3x-1)}$ or $=5x-\frac{-(3x-1)}{-(3x-1)}$

$=5x-(-1)$ or $=5x-(1)$

Simplify further by rewriting the expression without the parenthesis, remember to distribute the sign outside the parenthesis by the terms inside of the parenthesis; note that negative times negative equals positive.

$=5x-(-1)$ or $=5x-(1)$

$=5x+1$ or $=5x-1$
