Answer:

7.7 km

Explanation:

Use cosine rule as here given two sides and one angle.

Cosine rule states:

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos(A)

While solving, treat a = 7.5 km as to that opposite angle is given of 68°

then b = missing side, c = 5.2 km, A = 68°

Applying rule:

7.5² = b² + 5.2² - 2(b)(5.2) cos(68)

56.25 = b² + 27.04 - 3.8959b

56.25 - 27.04 = b² - 3.8959b

b² - 3.8959b = 29.21

b² - 3.8959b - 29.21 = 0

apply quadratic equation, Here [a = 1, b = - 3.8959, c = -29.21]

\sf b = \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \quad\:when \:\ ax^2 + bx + c = 0

\sf b = \dfrac{ -(-3.8959) \pm \sqrt{(-3.8959)^2 - 4(1)(-29.21)}}{2(1)}

\sf b = 7.69 291 \quad or \quad b = -3.797

\sf b = 7.7 \quad (rounded \ to \ nearest \ tenth)

As length cannot be negative. Hence the value of b is only 7.7 km

The answer is 7.7 km.

Let's apply the Cosine Law in this situation.

<u>a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos(A)</u>

Now, substitute the values based on the given diagram.

  • (7.5)² = b² + (5.2)² - 2(b)(5.2)(cos 68°)
  • 56.25 =  b² + 27.04 - 3.896b
  • b² - 3.896b - 29.21 = 0

Here, using the Quadratic Equation, we can solve :

  • b = 3.896 ± √(3.896)² - 4(1)(-29.21) / 2
  • b = 3.896 ± √15.178816 + 116.84 / 2
  • b = 3.896 ± √132.018816 / 2
  • b = 3.896 + 11.49 / 2
  • b = 7.7 km

Which expression is equivalent to the following function?
nevsk [136]
<u>Answer </u>

B. f(x) = - (y/x)⁵

<u>Explanation</u>
A negative power means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive value .
For example, a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

So, for the question above.
f(x) = -(x/y)⁻⁵
      = - 1/(x/y)⁵
      = - (y/x)⁵
