So you have a right angle triangle. You need to use trig for this, as you have two values you can figure out a third.

You know that you have

90 deg. angle
19 deg. angle
Therefor you have 71 deg. angle

sin19 = x/15
15sin19 = x
x = 2.2

Now do Pythagoras c^2-b^2=a^2

a = 14.8

So the sides are 2.2 and 14.8 units long. (If these numbers are wrong tell me and I'll edit answer)

Answer:

D.  4.9 units, 14.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By working in reverse, doing arctan( small side / big side) we can deduce it to answer D, seeing as

4.9/14.2 ~= 0.34507

tan^{-1}(0.34507) = 19.04degrees

Which rounds out to 19degrees in the tenths.

11. What is the location of the vertex of the parabola defined by f(x) = −3x2 − 18x − 35 and in what direction does the parabola
lbvjy [14]

11. The given parabola has equation: f(x)=-3x^2-18x-35

We complete the square to have the function in the vertex form: f(x)=-3(x^2+6x)-35

f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+3*9-35

f(x)=-3(x^2+6x+9)+27-35

f(x)=-3(x+3)^2-8

The vertex is (-3,-8), the graph opens down because a=-3<0

Ans: B. Vertex: (−3, −8), opens downward

12.  We know the graph of y=x^2  is a parabola that opens up and has its minimum point at the origin.

The range of this function is y\ge 0

A straight line that has its y-intercept below the x-axis (y=3x-6) will not intersect y=x^2 and hence will form a system with no solution.

Ans: D. y equals x squared, y equals 3x minus 6

 14.  We want to find the zeros of x^2+21x=5x-63

x^2+21x-5x+63=0

x^2+16x+63=0

The factored form is (x+7)(x+9)=0

x=-7\:or\: x=-9

Ans: C. x = −7, −9

15. The given quadratic expression is 6x^2-17x+10

We split the middle term to obtain:

6x^2-12x-5x+10=0

We factor by grouping to get:

6x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0

(x-2)(6x-5)=0

Ans: D. 6x − 5

Wats 10 to the 2nd power divied by 5 to the 2nd power
Ilya [14]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

10^2/5^2

Do the exponents first

10 to the 2nd power is 100

5 to the 2nd power is 25

100/25

100 divided by 25 is 4

So the answer is 4

Hope this helps!
