We can answer the question above by using the trigonometric functions and the concept of similar triangles. 
Given that cos (L) is 4/5. The length of sides PN and NL can be solved. Please see solution below.
                            4/5 = NL / 15   ;    NL = 12
Solving for PN,
                                 PN² + 12² = 15²
The value of PN is 9.
Then, using the concept of similar triangles,
                                KN/(KN + NL) = PN/ KM
Substituting the known values,
                                 4/(4 + 12) = 9 / KM
The value of KM is 36.

For the functions f and g, find (f o g)(8). f(x) = 17x^2 - 10x, g(x) = 9x - 9
Andreyy89

Hey mate. Here is your answer.

Set up the composite function and evaluate.

g (17x^2 - 10x) = 153x^2 - 90x - 9

Hope this helps.

There are 100 balloons in total the ratio between the yellow and blue balloons is 8 to 12 how many are yellow
Virty [35]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.

Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
