When answering questions like these, it helps to draw arrows,, the variable will always be on top, so in this situation you would draw an arrow from the a to the 10 and an arrow from the 38 to the 12 making them both fractions, you would then cross multiply, after cross multiplying you would get 12a=380 then you would divide by 12 equaling 31.6

Find the exact value of cos theta, given that sin thetaequalsStartFraction 15 Over 17 EndFraction and theta is in quadrant II.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that:

$sin \theta = \frac{15}{17}$

And we want to find the value for $cos \theta$ , so then we can use the following basic identity:

$cos^2 \theta + sin^2 \theta =1$

And if we solve for $cos \theta$ we got:

$cos^2 \theta = 1- sin^2 \theta$

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta}$

And if we replace the value given we got:

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1- (\frac{15}{17})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{289}}=\frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{289}}=\frac{8}{17}$

For our case we know that the angle is on the II quadrant, and on this quadrant we know that the sine is positive but the cosine is negative so then the correct answer for this case would be:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$

The table shows the height of a plant as it grows. Which equation in point slope form gives the plant’s height at any time

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

$y-16=8(x-2)$ is the equation represent the point slope form gives the plant's height at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope intercept form: For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ then,

the general form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ for linear equations; where m is the slope given by:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Consider any two points from the table;

let A= (2 , 16) and B =(4, 32)

First calculate the slope of the line AB:

$m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{32-16}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2}$ = 8

Therefore, slope of the line m = 8

Then,

the equation of line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Substitute the value of m=8 and (2, 16) above we get;

$y-16=8(x-2)$

Therefore, the equation in point slope form which gives the plant's height at any time is; $y-16=8(x-2)$ , where x is the time(months) and y is the plant height (cm)

What is a function exponential

valkas [14]

(Credit goes to google)f ( x ) = a x. where x is a variable, and a is a constant called the base of the function. The most commonly encountered exponential-function base is the transcendental number e , which is equal to approximately 2.71828.
