Cosine (70°) = x / 7
x = cosine (70°) * 7
x = 0.34202 * 7
x = y = <span> <span> <span> 2.39414 </span> </span> </span>
Short Base = 22 - 2*(2.39414)
Short Base = 17.21172

See diagram
I wrote that the degrees are 70 each because it is isocolese and 140/2=70


a.
to solve for the diagonal, I'm going to use trig to find the height and the base then use pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal

so
see I've drawn an auxiliry line to make a right triangle on the leftmost side
so
we want to find the height and base
sin(70°)=h/7
so 7sin(70°)=h≈6.57785

cos(70°)=base/7
so 7cos(70°)=base≈2.39414

now
the entire long base is 22, so that big triangle with the diagonal as the hyptonuse is 22-2.39414=19.6059
use pythagorean theorem, like 6.57785²+19.6059²=diagonal²
we get that the diagonal is about 20.68ft




b.
we got that the base was 7cos(70°)
2 of those bases so 22-14cos(70°)=17.2117ft or rounded 17.21ft




a. 20.68ft
b. 17.21ft

Factor x3-2x2-9x+18 completely if(x+3) is a factor
Charra [1.4K]

Factor x^3 -2x^2-9x+18

= x^2(x - 2) - 9(x - 2)

= (x^2 - 9)(x -2)

= (x + 3 )(x - 3)(x - 2)

So (x+3) is a factor

Which of the following functions have a vertical asymptote for values of θ such that cos θ = 1? Select two answers.
valentina_108 [34]
Well costheta=1, at 0, 2pi,... 
knowing this we can exclude the first two as the are not undefined anywhere. 
tan is sin/cos, at 0 sin is also 0 so it becomes 0/1 which is 0, not undefined.
sec is1/cos, cos is 1, this is just 1
csc is 1/sin, sin is 0, 1/0 is undefined, meaning there will be an asymptote 
cot is cos/sin, this is again 1/0, so it is also an asymptote
The last two answers are the ones you want

Simplify ; √12 - 7√75
BigorU [14]
\sqrt{12} = 2 \sqrt{3} and 7 \sqrt{75} = 35 \sqrt{3}.  Thus, 2 \sqrt{3} - 35\sqrt{3} = -33\sqrt{3}.
