well i think maggie would be 6
Step-by-step explanation:
6•3=18
18-4=14
14+6=20
Answer:
The standard form of this equation is -8x + 3y = -68
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, first solve for the constant.
y = 8/3x - 68/3
-8/3x + y = -68/3
Now we multiply by 3 to get them all equal to integers.
-8x + 3y = -68
As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head. I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.
The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.
To find angle-B, the law of cosines says
b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)
B = angle-B
b = the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9
(1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)
1.96 = (1) + (3.61) - (3.8) cos(B)
Add 3.8 cos(B) from each side:
1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61
Subtract 1.96 from each side:
3.8 cos(B) = 2.65
Divide each side by 3.8 :
cos(B) = 0.69737 (rounded)
Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
B = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737
= 45.784° .
Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...
By gosh ! Choice 'B' is 45.8° ! yay !
I'll bet that's it !
First of all, 2^n and 3^n are exponentials with different bases, and thus their sum cannot be simplified beyond 2^n + 3^n. In other words, these two functions cannot be combined ino one function (such as 4^n).
You may gain much more insight by graphing 2^n, 3^n and 4^n to determine whether there is truth in the given statement or not.
