What is the solution to the equation? 16=(x-2)^2/3

1 answer:

7 0

2^4 = (x - 2)^(2/3) Multiply the powers on both sides by 3/2
2^(4*3/2) = (x - 2)^ [(2/3)*(3/2)]
2^6 = (x - 2)^1
2^6 = (x - 2)
but 2^6 = 64
64 = (x - 2) Remove the brackets.
64 = x - 2 Add 2 to both sides.
66 = x

Which BEST describes the construction of a triangle if given one side length of 10 cm and one right angle?

Colt1911 [192]

Statements that best describe the triangle are the following:
1. It is a right triangle, therefore one angle is equivalent to 90°.
2. We can solve for the measurement of the other leg using the Pythagorean theorem c²=a²+b².
3. We can use SOH CAH TOA theorem in solving the other unknowns.

We know that:

$\sin (\theta_1)=-\frac{12}{13}$

There is also an interesting property that relates the sine and the cosine of an angle:

$\sin ^2(\theta_1)+\cos ^2(\theta_1)=1$

We can find the cosine of theta using this equation:

$\begin{gathered} \cos ^2(\theta_1)=1-\sin ^2(\theta_1) \\ \cos (\theta_1)=\sqrt{1-\sin^2(\theta_1)} \\ \cos (\theta_1)=\sqrt[]{1-(-\frac{12}{13})^2} \\ \lvert\cos (\theta_1)\rvert=\sqrt[]{1-\frac{144}{169}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{25}{169}} \\ \lvert\cos (\theta_1)\rvert=\frac{5}{13} \end{gathered}$

Since theta is in the third quadrant then its cosine must be a negative number so:
