Answer:

A) \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right triangle, we need to find the missing side AC using the Pythagorean theorem.

The theorem said that the sum of the square of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Here hypotenuse AB = 40, one side BC = 12

AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2

Now plug in the given values and find the missing side AC.

AC^2 + 12^2 = 40^2

AC^2 + 144 = 1600

AC^2 = 1600 - 144\\AC^2 = 1456

Taking square root on both sides, we get

AC =4√91

Now we have to find the tanA.

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here Opposite side = BC and Adjacent side AC of angle A.

Therefore,

tanA = BC/AC

tanA = \frac{12}{4\sqrt{91} }

Since we have radical in the denominator, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by √91, we get

tan A = \frac{12*\sqrt{91} }{4\sqrt{91}\sqrt{91}  }

tan A = \frac{3\sqrt{91} }{91}

AC = √(40²-12²) = √(1600-144) = √1456 = 4√91

tanA = 12/4√91 = 3/√91 = 3√91/91


option а.

Tatiana [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

By Remainder Theorem, f(5) = 91.

=> (5)³ - 4(5) + k = 91

=> 125 - 20 + k = 91

=> 105 + k = 91

=> k = -14.

Given f(x)= 2x²+4x-6 and g(x)=2x-2, find each function
valkas [14]
F(x)= 2x²+4x-6 and g(x)=2x-2, find each function
1. (f/g) (x) = f(x)÷g(x) = (2x²+4x-6)÷(2x-2)
First factor both top and bottom:
(2x-2)(x+3)÷(2x-2) = x+3

2. f(a + 2) = plug (a+2) in anywhere there is an x in f(x)=2x²+4x-6 -->
2(a+2)^2 +4(a+2)-6 = 2(a^2+4a+4)+4a+8-6, now distribute:
2a^2+8a+8+4a+2, combine like terms
2a^2+12a+10

3. g(a/2) = plug (a/2) in anywhere there's an x in g(x)=2x-2:
2(a/2)-2 = a-2

Gianna is going to throw a ball from the top floor of her middle school. When she throws the ball from 48feet above the ground,
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: t = 3seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zero means we will equate the function to zero and then solve, that is

-16t^{2}+ 32t + 48 = 0

by factorizing , we have

(t+1)(-16t+48) = 0

Therefore:

t = -1 or t = 3

since time can not be negative , then , t = 3 seconds

Find the equation of the line through point (8,−9) and perpendicular to 3+8=4.
raketka [301]

The equation of the line through the point (8,−9) and perpendicular to 3x+8y=4 is given by 8x - 3y = 91.

We are aware that any straight line's equation can be expressed as

y = mx + c,

where m denotes the slope and c denotes a constant.

Also, two perpendicular lines' slopes are the negative reciprocals of one another.

Here, the equation of the given straight line is

3x+8y=4

i.e. 8y = 4 -3x

i.e. y = (4/8) - (3/8)x

Now the negative reciprocal of - 3/8 is 8/3.

Then we can write the equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (8/3)x + c ...(1)

Since (1) passes through the point (8, -9), so we can put x = 8 and y = -9 in (1) to get the value of c.

So, -9 = (8/3)*8 + c

i.e. -9 = 64/3 + c

i.e. c = -9 -64/3 = - (27 + 64)/3 = - 91/3

(1) can be written as

y = (8/3)x - (91/3)

i.e. 3y = 8x - 91

i.e. 8x - 3y = 91

Therefore the equation of the line through the point (8,−9) and perpendicular to 3x+8y=4 is given by 8x - 3y = 91.
