Answer:

D. 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of SOH CAH TOA in trigonometry identity:

According to the left hand side of the right angled triangle;

Opposite side = p

Hypotenuse = 15

Using SOH identity to get p:

Sin47° = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin47° = p/15

p = 15sin47°

p = 10.97

This p = 10.97 will also be the opposite side for the triangle at the right and hypotenuse = 18.

Applying the SOH identity to get the measure of angle m° we have;

Sin m° = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin m° = 10.97/18

Sin m° = 0.609

m° = arcsin 0.609

m° = 37.5°

m = 38° to the nearest degree.

what is the value of x in the diagram below? if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a until
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC

AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence

AC = \sqrt{256} = 16

Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD

ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²

ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²

Equate both equations for AD², hence

256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²

-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )

- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )

40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 7.2 → C

Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay In Exercises 119 and 120, Find the exponential function
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

There is no exponential function passing through (1,1) and (5,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exponential function

y = Ce^{kt}

The function passes through these two points:

(1,1): This means that when t = 1, y = 1

(5,5): This means that when t = 5, y = 5.

So

(1,1)

y = Ce^{kt}

Ce^{k} = 1

e^{k} = \frac{1}{C}

(5,5)

y = Ce^{kt}

5Ce^{k} = 1

Ce^{k} = \frac{1}{5}

From above, we have that:

e^{k} = \frac{1}{C}

C\frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{5}

1 = \frac{1}{5}

1 cannot be equal to 1/5, so this is wrong.

This means that there is no exponential function passing through (1,1) and (5,5).

Express the following numbers as a product of their prime factors <br> 24<br> Please show working
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 24:

2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 12, a factor of 24. Replace 12 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x 6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 6, a factor of 12. Replace 6 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x (2 x 3)) = 2 x (2x6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Two and three cannot be factored any further, therefore the prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3.

PLEASE HELP NEED ASAP
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Side WZ=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he two are similar you need to make a ratio of the two parallelograms

The first tells you side FE is 2 and side EH is 3 so write it like this 2/3.

Next you need to do the same thing with the second parallelogram, so you know side XW is 6 but you don't know side WZ so you'd write this one 6/x.

You can do this since FE is similar to XW, because it is the same shape just bigger.

Next you take the two fractions adn set them equal to each other.

2       6

_   =  _

3       x

Now cross multiply (2 timesx and 6 times 3)

It should look like this now

2x=18

Now all you have to do is divide by 2.
