Answer:

The value of b nearest whole number is, 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know an \angle B=48^{\circ} and the side adjacent to it i.e, a=12.\

In a right triangle BCA ,

the <u>tangent(tan) </u>of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.  

i.e, \tan B=\frac{opposite}{Adjacent}=\frac{b}{a}

Substitute the value of a=12 and \angle B=48^{\circ} to solve for b in above expression:

\tan 48^{\circ}=\frac{b}{12}

we have the value of \tan 48^{\circ}=1.110613

then, 1.20012724=\frac{b}{12}

On simplify we get,

b=1.110613 \times 12=13.327356

Therefore, the value of b nearest whole is, 13

In the figure, the triangle ABC is a right triangle, a is the adjacent leg to the angle B, and b is the opposite side to the same angle.

So, you can use the tangent ratio which relates the angle, the opposite leg and the adjacent leg:

tangent (angle B) = b / a => b = a * tan(B)

=> b = 12 * tan(48°) = 13.33≈ 13

Answer: 13

for the columns where is less than or equal zero, use the first line of the function to calculate the value of f(x)

{ ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 2} - 1  = 9 - 1 = 8 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 1}  - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ 0} - 1  = 1 - 1 = 0

for every x greater than zero, use the second line to determine the value

{3}^{1}  - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1 \\ {3}^{2}  - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

hope this helps and gives some insight what to do.

if there are open questions left, feel free to ask them in the comments

have a beautiful day

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x^{2} -x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2x^{2}-32 }{x^{2} -8x+16}  rewrite as multiplication

\frac{x^{2} +3x-4x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2(x^{2}-16) }{x^{2} -8x+16}  look to factor

\frac{x(x+3)-4(x+3)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}  , difference of 2 squares and perfect square

\frac{(x+3)(x-4)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}, finish factoring and simplify

2(x+3)
