Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

we have the (opposite) --> 325
we have the (adjacent) --> 296

so do the inverse tan of opposite over adjacent...
$tan^{-1} (\frac{325}{296} ) = 47.67$ degrees

Please help me out I don’t get it

I believe the answer would be 57*
because they are alternate angles. All the sides are the same across from one another making it the same triangle on top of a twin triangle. let me know if this doesn’t make sense!

You walk through a used car lot and list the price and model year of each car you see determine whether the two variables are re

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The narrative in the question can not be described as a function

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of clarity, we will rephrase the question. The key point in the question is to determine if the price and the model are related and if they fit into independent and dependent function.

Moving forward, to properly answer this question, it will be good for us to understand what dependent and independent functions are.

DEPENDENT FUNCTIONS: These are functions or can also be refereed to as variable that represents quantities or values whose parameter depends on how the independent variable is manipulated.

Example:

You are doing job to earn your a salary. For each project you do, you earn $10 dollar. In this case, the dependent variable is the amount of money you earn because the amount of money you earn depends on how many job or project you do.

INDEPENDENT FUNCTIONS: These are functions or can also be refereed to as variable that we have control over in the process of an event therefore, we are at liberty to manipulate it as we so wish as indicated in the dependent variable.

Going back to the narrative of the question, the narrative in the question can not be described as a function because the two identifies variables which are the price and the model years are been altered due to the fact that it is a used car lot so they have both lost their true value or worth. However, some might argue that price here is the independent function or variable while model year is the dependent variable.

Write an equation of a line in point-slope form that has a slope of -2 and passes through (5, -1).

gavmur [86]

Answer:

$y+1=-2(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have a point given and a slope from the equation. We will chose point-slope since we have a point and the slope.

We will substitute $m=-2$ and $x_1=5\\y_1=-1$ .
