Sine 40 = 5 / hypotenuse
0.64279 = 5 / hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 5 / 0.64279
<span><span>hypotenuse = 7.7786
</span>tangent (50) = opp / adj
</span><span>tangent (50) = opposite / 5
1.1918 * 5 =  </span><span>opposite</span>
opposite side = 5.959

Sabendo que "K" satisfaz a equação {2(k-8) + 3(-k+1) = -4k +11} Os valores reais de x que satisfazem a equação 15x² - kx + 1 = 0
erastova [34]

Answer:

D) 1/5 e 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following quadratic equation:

15x^2-kx+1=0           (1)

In order to find the values of x that are solution to the equation (1), you first find the solution for k in the following equation:

2(k-8)+3(-k+1)=-4k+11\\\\2k-16-3k+3=-4k+11\\\\2k-3k+4k=11+16-3\\\\3k=24\\\\k=8

Next, you replace the previous value of k in the equation (1) and you use the quadratic formula to find the roots:

15x^2-8x+1=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-8)\pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4(15)(1)}}{2(15)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{8\pm 2}{30}\\\\x_1=\frac{1}{5}\\\\x_2=\frac{1}{3}

Then, the roots of the equation (1) are

How do you decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equation?​
Kazeer [188]
It doesn’t really matter which variable you isolate first but usually you would use the one that’s by itself already. like for example one of the equations was y = 8. you would already have your y solve for so you would just have to plug that in for y in the other equation. personally, i usually do x first unless one of the equations has either x or y by itself already. i think its easier to just do x first and then solve for y after that, but it just depends on what the equations are; sometimes it might be easier to just do y first. hope this helps!
