Answer:

A. 55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right angled triangle ABC having the horizontal length = 10 units and vertical length = 7 units.

Now, the trigonometric form for angles of a right angled triangle gives,

$\tan B=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

i.e. $\tan B=\frac{10}{7}$

i.e. $\tan B=1.42857$

i.e. $B=\arctan 1.42857$

i.e. $B=55.03$

Hence, the measure of angle B is 55°

You can check that the limit comes in an undefined form:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{2\cos(x)-1}{\tan^2(x)-3}=\dfrac{0}{0}$

In these cases, we can use de l'Hospital rule, and evaluate the limit of the ratio of the derivatives. We have:

$\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}2\cos(x)-1 = -2\sin(x)$

and

$\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}\tan^2(x)-3 = 2\dfrac{\tan(x)}{\cos^2(x)}=\dfrac{2\sin(x)}{\cos^3(x)}$

So, we have

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{2\cos(x)-1}{\tan^2(x)-3}=\lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \dfrac{-2\sin(x)}{\frac{2\sin(x)}{\cos^3(x)}}=\lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}}-\cos^3(x)=-\cos^3\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)$

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the ____A_____ of the ____B_____ of the coordinates. Fil

xeze [42]

Answer:

The distance between two points on a number line can be found by taking the <u>absolute value</u> of the <u>difference</u> of the coordinates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point can be paired with a number on a number line
The coordinate is the number associated with a point
To find the distance between point A and B you subtract the coordinates in any order you like and take the absolute value.

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: D) No. The graph fails the vertical line test.

Explanation:

We are able to draw a single vertical line that passes through more than one point on the red curve. For example, we could draw a vertical line through x = 5 and have it cross the red curve at (5,4) and (5,-4).

So this is one example where the graph fails the vertical line test. It passes this test when such a thing doesn't happen. In other words, a function is only possible if any x input leads to exactly one and only one y output.

In this case, x = 5 leads to multiple outputs y = 4 and y = -4 at the same time. There are other x values which this occurs as well (any x values such that x > 1). So this is why we don't have a function.
