To solve this problem, we have to use the definition of segment addition.

LA=PL+PA

Then, we replace the given expressions

30x-18=6x+24+12x-6

Now, we solve for <em>x</em>.

\begin{gathered} 30x-6x-12x=24-6+18 \\ 12x=36 \\ x=\frac{36}{12} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}<h2>Hence, x = 3.</h2>

Let's find LA:

30x-18=30\cdot3-18=90-18=72<h2>Hence, LA measures 72 units.</h2>

The values of cosine Ф and cotangent Ф are \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2} and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

When a terminal side of an angle intersect the unit circle at

point (x , y), then:

  • The x-coordinate is equal to cosine the angle between the positive part of x-axis and the terminal side
  • The y-coordinate is equal to sine the angle between the positive part of x-axis and the terminal side
  • If x and y coordinates are positive, then the angle lies in the 1st quadrant
  • If x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive, then the angle lies in the 2nd quadrant
  • If x and y coordinates are negative, then the angle lies in the 3rd quadrant
  • If x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative, then the angle lies in the 4th quadrant

∵ The terminal ray of angle Ф intersects the unit circle at point (\frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2},\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2})

- According to the 1st and 2nd notes above

∴ cosФ = x-coordinate of the point

∴ sinФ = y-coordinate of the point

∵ The x-coordinate of the point is negative

∵ They-coordinate of the point is positive

- According the the 4th note above

∴ Angle Ф lies in the 2nd quadrant

∵ x-coordinate = \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2}

∴ cosФ = \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2}

∵ y-coordinate = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

∴ sinФ = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

- cotФ is the reciprocal of tanФ

∵ tanФ = sinФ ÷ cosФ

∴ cotФ = cosФ ÷ sinФ

∴ cotФ = \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2} ÷ \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

∴ cotФ = -1

The values of cosine Ф and cotangent Ф are \frac{-\sqrt{2} }{2} and -1

At the movie theater all snacks and all movie tickets are priced the same. Four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40. Two sna
Nataliya [291]

We know that four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40 dollars, and when you take away 2 snacks but still keep the tickets, its $32.

2 snacks= $8

What i did to find the cost of each ticket is I divided 8 by 2 (8/2) and ended getting $4

1 snack= $4

Now to find the cost of each ticket, i divided 2 snacks ($8) and got this equation:

32 - 8= 24

3 tickets= $24

Now to find the amount for each ticket, i divided 24 by 3 (24/3) and got the answer:

1 ticket= $8

Therefore, snacks are $4 and movie tickets are $8

x tickets= 8x

x snacks= 4x

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Get two points off the graph

Points: (-70, 0) and (-60, 50)

Step 2. Use the two points to find the slope

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = 50 - 0/-60 - -70

m = 50/10

m = 5/1

m = 5

The slope is 5

Solve the equation for y<br> Y minus 5 equals 1/3 (x plus 12)
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

ok so this problem you are basically just rearranging it. you're going to want y by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's start with the original equation: 5-y=1/3x +12

so first you have to move the five over, so you subtract 5 from both sides. -y=1/3x+12-5

then you subtract the 5 from the twelve since they're like terms: -y=1/3x+7

and finally you have to move the negative over. when you move the negative think of it like dividing negative one from both sides, everything on the other side has to get the negative.

so we're left with y=-1/3x-7

I hope this helps!
