Answer:

y = 6√3 and x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a 30-60-90 triangle.  The side opposite the 30° angle corresponds to the side of length 1  in the most basic 30-60-90 triangle; the side opp. 60° to the side of length √3; and the hyp. to the side of length 2.

To find y, write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

adj side           adj side      (adjacent to the 30° angle)

    y                       √3

 hypo               hypo    then (cross multiplying):  2y = 12√3, and

    12                     2       y = 6√3

If the hypo here is 12 and the adj side (y) is 6√3, then we can use the Pyth. Theorem to find the third side (x):

[12]² = [6√3]² - x²  ↔ 144 = 36(3) - x²   ↔  36 = x².  So x = 6 here.

Answer:

x = 6

y ≈ 10. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for x and y since the angle is known and it is a right angle triangle.

hypotenuse = 12

adjacent = x

opposite = y

cos 60° = adjacent/hypotenus

cos 60° = x/12

cross multiply

x = 12 cos 60°

x = 12 × 0.5

x = 6

Finding y

sin 60° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 60° = y/12

cross multiply

y = 12 sin 60°

y  = 12 × 0.8660254038

y =  10.392304845

y ≈ 10. 40

Ty in advance for whoever does this. Find the range and put it on the graph. thank you &lt;3
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y_{1} = - 4 - 2( - 3) = 2

y_{2} = - 4 - 2( - 2) = 0

y_{3} = - 4 - 2( - 1) = - 2

y_{4} = - 4 - 2( 0 ) = - 4

y_{5} = - 4 - 2( 1 ) = - 6

Range: { 2, 0, - 2, - 4, - 6 }
