Answer:
x ≈ 1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin50° =
=
=
( multiply both sides by 1.8 )
1.8 × sin50° = x , then
x ≈ 1.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
You are multiplying by 10 each time so it is:
.02, 0.2, 2, 20, 200, 2000
X = 12400
20/100 = 1/5
2480 x 5 = 12400
Ok, basically if you want to find when both equations are equal just make them equal to each other. 0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40.
From there use algebraic steps to find out what x is ( the break - even point ).
0.925x^2 - 4x + 20 = -1.125x^2 + 6x + 40
0.855625x - 4x + 20 = 1.265625x + 6x + 40
-0.41x - 4x + 20 = 6x + 40
-4.41x + 20 = 6x + 40
20 = 10.41x + 40
-20 = 10.41x
-1.92122958694 = x
Rounded to the nearest tenth it's -1.9 = x.
