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 answer 20 divided by 2(5+5)

babunello [35]

$\frac{20}{2(5+5)}$ - Following the order of operations, we do parenthesis first.
$\frac{20}{2(10)}$ - Multiply out the value against the parenthesis.
$\frac{20}{20} = 1$ - This leaves us with 20 over 20. 20 goes into 20 only 1 time, so our final answer is 1.

Which graph represents the function f(x)=x4+4x3−12x2−32x+64?

sp2606 [1]

$f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$

The degree of f(x) is 4. Also the leading coefficient is 1 and it is positive

So as x approaches infinity then y approaches infinity

as x approaches -infinity then y approaches infinity

The first and fourth graph goes up and it satisfies the above . so we ignore the second and third graph.

Now we check the x intercepts of the first graph

x intercepts of first graph is -4 and 2

Plug in -4 for x in f(x) and check whether we get 0

$f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$

$f(x)=(-4)^4+4(-4)^3-12(-4)^2-32(-4)+64=0$

Now plug in 2 for x and check

$f(x)=(2)^4+4(2)^3-12(2)^2-32(2)+64=0$

So -4 and 2 are the x intercepts that satisfies f(x)

Hence first option is the graph of $f(x)=x^4+4x^3-12x^2-32x+64$

Which situation best shows causation?

dangina [55]

A cause and effect relationship exist between two variables, when one

variable event is made to happen by the other variable.

The situation which best shows causation is option <u>B) The amount of time a </u>

<u>cell phone is used affects the charge of the battery</u>.

Reasons:

Causation is the condition in which the occurrence of an event is caused by

or contributed to by another event. Such that the incident or observation

identified as the cause is responsible for the event, while the the

occurrence of the event depends on the cause being put in place.

Option A) A rectangle of a given width can have different dimensions of length

Option C) Milkshakes and ice cream bars can have different customer base, such that the number of milkshake and ice cream bars sold can be equal

Option D) The balls used in a soccer match are provided by the officials of the game

Therefore;

The situation which shows causation is B) <u>The amount of time a cell phone is used affects the charge of the battery</u>.

The option is correct because, a cell phone is powered by battery, and

therefore, the more the cell phone is used, the battery power is used up

and therefore, the charge on the battery is reduced.
