Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Right triangle ABC is represented with the right angle at vertex B. Base BC
1 answer:
By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.
<h3>How to get the measures of the other two sides of the right triangle?</h3>Here we have the right triangle where:
B = 90°
C = 40°
BC = 10 in.
Notice that is the adjacent cathetus to the angle C, then we can use the two relations:
- sin(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).
- tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).
Where:
- hypotenuse = AC
- opposite cathetus = AB.
Then we will have:
sin(40°) = 10in/AC.
AC = 10in/sin(40°) = 15.6 in
tan(40°) = AB/10in
tan(40°)*10in = AB = 8.4 in.
So we can conclude that for the given right triangle we have:
AC = 15.6 in
AB = 8.4 in.

Zeroes:
We must solve
To do so, we define the auxiliary variable . The equation becomes
The quadratic formula yields the solutions
Substituting back gives
So, the zeroes are -6, -3, 3, 6.
Turning points:
Turning points are points where a function stops being increasing to become decreasing, or vice versa. Since functions are increasing when their first derivative is positive and decreasing when it's negative, turning points are points where the first derivative is zero.
We have
If we set the derivative to be zero, we have
So, the derivative is zero if x=0 or
