My algebra teacher got us all to remember that word because...
Soh - Sin = Opposite / Hypotenus
Cah - Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenus
Toa - Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Sin, Cos, and Tan are what you can use to find missing triangle sides if you know at least one other angle besides the 90 degree angle.

No, but there is a way of creating them. If you let
a = 2xy
b = x^2 - y^2 where x > y
c = x^2 + y^2

And a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You can create these sides to your needs. For example

x = 5
y = 2

2xy = 2*5*2 = 20
x^2 - y^2 = 25 - 4 = 21
x^2 + y^2 = 25 + 4 = 29 which is not well known but it is a right angle.

29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2

841 = 400 + 441
841 = 841

Just one further comment. It is easy to check to see if the triangle you are talking about is a right triangle. Just use a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Generally it is unnecessary to either create your own or memorize ones you have come across.

I think any math teacher would say "why bother?"
If you are not satisfied, put a reason for doing this in the comments.

On a coordinate plane, kite W X Y Z is shown. Point W is at (negative 3, 3), point X is at (2, 3), point Y is at (4, negative 4)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Kite WXYZ

W (-3, 3), X (2, 3),

Y (4, -4), Z (-3, -2)

Required

Determine perimeter of the kite

First, we need to determine lengths of sides WX, XY, YZ and ZW using distance formula;

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

For WX:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, 3),\ (2, 3)$

$WX = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (3 - 3)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2}$

$WX = \sqrt{25}$

$WX = 5$

For XY:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (2, 3)\ (4,-4)$

$XY = \sqrt{(2 - 4)^2 + (3 - (-4))^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + (3 +4)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{-2^2 + 7^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{4 + 49}$

$XY = \sqrt{53}$

For YZ:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (4,-4)\ (-3, -2)$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 - (-3))^2 + (-4 - (-2))^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(4 +3)^2 + (-4 +2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{7^2 + (-2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$YZ = \sqrt{53}$

For ZW:

$(x_1, y_1)\ (x_2,y_2) = (-3, -2)\ (-3, 3)$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(-3 +3)^2 + (-2 - 3)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0^2 + (-5)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{0 + 25}$

$ZW = \sqrt{25}$

$ZW = 5$

The Perimeter (P) is as follows:

$P = WX + XY + YZ + ZW$

$P = 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53} + 5$

$P = 5 + 5 + \sqrt{53} + \sqrt{53}$

$P = 10 + 2\sqrt{53}$ units

Ragon, who lives on this planet, does a survey and finds that her colony of 237 contains 45 black-footed, one-headed Mizjigs; 69

Gemiola [76]

The answer is <u>A. 98</u>.

Because when you subtract 115 - 45 it equals 70 then you add 70 + 69 which equals 139 then you subtract 237 - 139 it equals <u>98</u> which is your answer!

<h2> Hope this helps!</h2>

Sin75degree=Cos____degree

tigry1 [53]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sin 75 degrees = 0.90659...

Now, to find cos: cos-1 (0.90659) = 15

So the answer is 15.

Pleaseeeee ı dont find the answer

Answer: $y(x) = \sqrt{\frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+9}}\\\\$

==========================================================

Explanation:

The given differential equation (DE) is

$y'-\frac{7}{x}y = \frac{y^3}{x^8}\\\\$

Which is the same as

$y'-\frac{7}{x}y = \frac{1}{x^8}y^3\\\\$

This 2nd DE is in the form $y' + P(x)y = Q(x)y^n$

where

$P(x) = -\frac{7}{x}\\\\Q(x) = \frac{1}{x^8}\\\\n = 3$

As the instructions state, we'll use the substitution $u = y^{1-n}$

We specifically use $u = y^{1-n} = y^{1-3} = y^{-2}$

-----------------

After making the substitution, we'll end up with this form

$\frac{du}{dx} + (1-n)P(x)u = (1-n)Q(x)\\\\$

Plugging in the items mentioned, we get:

$\frac{du}{dx} + (1-n)P(x)u = (1-n)Q(x)\\\\\frac{du}{dx} + (1-3)*\frac{-7}{x}u = (1-3)\frac{1}{x^8}\\\\\frac{du}{dx} + \frac{14}{x}u = -\frac{2}{x^8}\\\\$

We can see that we have a new P(x) and Q(x)

$P(x) = \frac{14}{x}\\\\Q(x) = -\frac{2}{x^8}$

-------------------

To solve the linear DE $\frac{du}{dx} + \frac{14}{x}u = -\frac{2}{x^8}\\\\$ , we'll need the integrating factor which I'll call m

$m(x) = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int \frac{14}{x}dx} = e^{14\ln(x)}$

$m(x) = e^{\ln(x^{14})} = x^{14}$

We will multiply both sides of the linear DE by this m(x) integrating factor to help with further integration down the road.

$\frac{du}{dx} + \frac{14}{x}u = -\frac{2}{x^8}\\\\m(x)*\left(\frac{du}{dx} + \frac{14}{x}u\right) = m(x)*\left(-\frac{2}{x^8}\right)\\\\x^{14}*\frac{du}{dx} + x^{14}*\frac{14}{x}u = x^{14}*\left(-\frac{2}{x^8}\right)\\\\x^{14}*\frac{du}{dx} + 14x^{13}*u = -2x^6\\\\\left(x^{14}*u\right)' = -2x^6\\\\$

It might help to think of the product rule being done in reverse.

Now we can integrate both sides to solve for u

$\left(x^{14}*u\right)' = -2x^6\\\\\displaystyle \int\left(x^{14}*u\right)'dx = \int -2x^6 dx\\\\\displaystyle x^{14}*u = \frac{-2x^7}{7}+C\\\\\displaystyle u = x^{-14}*\left(\frac{-2x^7}{7}+C\right)\\\\\displaystyle u = x^{-14}*\frac{-2x^7}{7}+Cx^{-14}\\\\\displaystyle u = \frac{-2x^{-7}}{7}+Cx^{-14}\\\\$

$u = \frac{-2}{7x^7} + \frac{C}{x^{14}}\\\\u = \frac{-2}{7x^7}*\frac{x^7}{x^7} + \frac{C}{x^{14}}*\frac{7}{7}\\\\u = \frac{-2x^7}{7x^{14}} + \frac{7C}{7x^{14}}\\\\u = \frac{-2x^7+7C}{7x^{14}}\\\\$

Unfortunately, this isn't the last step. We still need to find y.

Recall that we found $u = y^{-2}\\\\$

So,

$u = \frac{-2x^7+7C}{7x^{14}}\\\\y^{-2} = \frac{-2x^7+7C}{7x^{14}}\\\\y^{2} = \frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+7C}$

We're told that y(1) = 1. This means plugging x = 1 leads to the output y = 1. So the RHS of the last equation should lead to 1. We'll plug x = 1 into that RHS, set the result equal to 1 and solve for C

$\frac{7*1^{14}}{-2*1^7+7C} = 1\\\\\frac{7}{-2+7C} = 1\\\\7 = -2+7C\\\\7+2 = 7C\\\\7C = 9\\\\C = \frac{9}{7}$

So,

$y^{2} = \frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+7C}\\\\y^{2} = \frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+7*\frac{9}{7}}\\\\y^{2} = \frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+9}\\\\y = \sqrt{\frac{7x^{14}}{-2x^7+9}}\\\\$

We go with the positive version of the root because y(1) is positive, which must mean y(x) is positive for all x in the domain.
