Answer:

The answer is option B

Step-by-step explanation:

To find cos 45° we must first find the adjacent and the hypotenuse

Let the adjacent be x

Let the hypotenuse be h

To find the adjacent we use tan

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

From the question

the opposite is 9

So we have

tan 45 = 9 / x

x tan 45 = 9

but tan 45 = 1

x = 9

Since we have the adjacent we use Pythagoras theorem to find the hypotenuse

That's

h² = 9² + 9²

h² = 81 + 81

h² = 162

h = √162

h = 9√2

Now use the formula for cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

The adjacent is 9

The hypotenuse is 9√2

So we have

cos 45 = 9/9√2

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

What is the completely factored form of d4 -8d2 + 16

irinina [24]

According to Vieta's Formulas, if $x_1,x_2$ are solutions of a given quadratic equation:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Then:

$a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$ is the completely factored form of $ax^2+bx+c$ .

If choose $x=d^2$ , then:

$\displaystyle x^2-8x+16=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{8\pm \sqrt{64-64} }{2}=4$

So, according to Vieta's formula, we can get:

$x^2-8x+16=(x-4)(x-4)= (x-4)^2$

But $x=d^2$ :

$d^4-8d^2+16=(d^2-4)^2=[(d+2)(d-2)]^2=(d+2)^2(d-2)^2$

A. imagine that you are one of the people who left the luncheon with a contagious disease and interacted with an average of 9 di

shusha [124]

1. In line with the test each person who came into interaction with the infected person will become infected also. With this information, the calculation would be: 9 people each day for 7days would be equivalent to 9 x 7 which equals 63 people.

2. Here were 7 other people in the experiment if patient zero is left out. If each person intermingled with 6 different people every day in 7 days then the calculation would be: 7 people infected x 6 new people = 42 infected people each day

42 new people every day x 7 days = 294 infected persons.

a system of equations is shown below: equation a: 2c = d − 8 equation b: c = 3d 8 which of the following steps should be perform

Fofino [41]

If you would like to know which of the following steps should be performed to eliminate variable d first, you can find this using the following steps:

equation a: 2c = d - 8 /*(-3)
equation b: c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c = -3d + 24
c = 3d + 8
__________________
-6c + c = -3d + 24 + 3d + 8
-5c = 32
5c = -32
c = -32/5

<span>The correct result would </span>be: <span>multiply equation a by −3.</span>
