Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Degger [83]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate y:

y^2+8^2=12^2

y^2+64=144          <em>subtract 64 from both sides</em>

y^2=80\to y=\sqrt{80}

Two smaller triangles are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}           <em>cross multiply</em>

y^2=8x       <em>substitute y² = 80</em>

80=8x               <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

x=10

Because you want to see if the outsourced market really has any effect on the US economy.

6. Possible dependent variables such as the effect on the US market or the creation of new markets, I do not consider to be reliable variables to measure the cause or independent variable.

7.It is ecologically valid in the sense that it allows visualizing a positive impact on a way of working that allows reducing costs in all senses, both monetary and transportation, contributing to the care of nature.

8.I do not consider that cause and effect can be claimed.

a.While the one that exitates this type of outsourced work from many parts of the world, this does not guarantee that it is the only source of income for a person, since these outsourced jobs often represent additional income.

9. Focal groups.

Which function is undefined when theta=pi/2 radians?
Verizon [17]
We know that tanθ = sinθ/cosθ

For a number to be undefined, the denominator must equal to 0. At π/2, the cosθ value is 0 and sinθ is 1. Hence, tan(π/2) is undefined. 

Hope I helped :)
