2. Find the number of distinct triangles with c=11,b=7,B=18 a.0 b.1 c.2 d. cannot be determined

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Choice C) 2

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

Using the law of sines, we get
sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c
sin(18)/7 = sin(C)/11
0.0441452849107 = sin(C)/11
11*0.0441452849107 = sin(C)
0.4855981340177 = sin(C)
sin(C) = 0.4855981340177
C = arcsin(0.4855981340177) or C = 180-arcsin(0.4855981340177)
C = 29.0516679549861 or C = 150.948332045013
There are two possibilities for angle C because of something like sin(30) = sin(150) = 1/2 = 0.5

Those approximate values of C round to
C = 29.05 and C = 150.95

If C = 29.05, then angle A is
A = 180-B-C
A = 180-18-29.05
A = 132.95
Making this triangle possible since angle A is a positive number

If C = 150.95, then angle A is
A = 180-B-C
A = 180-18-150.95
A = 11.05
making this triangle possible since angle A is a positive number

There are two distinct triangles that can be formed.
One triangle is with the angles: A = 132.95, B = 18, C = 29.05
The other triangle is with the angles: A = 11.05, B = 18, C = 150.95
The decimal values are approximate

Find the value of x and 3x.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 90°

3x = 270°

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape in half through the plane of 3x and x.

We can find the angle of x/2 is 45°.

Since x/2 = 45°, then we can fid that x=90°.

To find 3x, we simply multiply 90° 3 times.

So 3x = 270°.

Interpreting graphs of functions

horsena [70]

Answer: non-linear 40 1/2 Step-by-step explanation: This is a non-linear function specifically it is an oscillating function The initial position of the weight occurs at t=0 and from the graph we see that at t=0, the weight position is 40 centimeters The weight is said to reach equilibrium when its position is at 0 cm. From the graph we can see that the function first reaches 0 cm at t=0.5 seconds or at t= 1/2 second

Cindy is buying a new car and wants to learn how the value of her car will change over time. Insurance actuaries predict the fut

lawyer [7]

Answer:

$C=10000(0.852)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be,

$C=a(b)^t$

Here, C = cost of the car

t = Duration or period in years

From the given table,

Two points representing cost of the car and time are (10000, 0) and (8520, 1),

For (10000, 0),

$10000=a(b)^0$

a = 10000

For (8520, 1)

8520 = $10000(b)^1$

$b=\frac{8520}{10000}$

b = 0.8520

Therefore, exponential equation will be,

$C=10000(0.852)^t$

Solve dis attachment and show all work ( I got it all wrong and I want to know how to solve it )

DedPeter [7]

(a) First find the intersections of $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ and $y=2$ :

$2=e^{2x-x^2}\implies \ln2=2x-x^2\implies x=1\pm\sqrt{1-\ln2}$

So the area of $R$ is given by

$\displaystyle\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-2\right)\,\mathrm dx$

If you're not familiar with the error function $\mathrm{erf}(x)$ , then you will not be able to find an exact answer. Fortunately, I see this is a question on a calculator based exam, so you can use whatever built-in function you have on your calculator to evaluate the integral. You should get something around 0.5141.

(b) Find the intersections of the line $y=1$ with $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ .

$1=e^{2x-x^2}\implies 0=2x-x^2\implies x=0,x=2$

So the area of $S$ is given by

$\displaystyle\int_0^{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}(2-1)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^2\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx$
$\displaystyle=2\int_0^{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\mathrm dx$

which is approximately 1.546.

(c) The easiest method for finding the volume of the solid of revolution is via the disk method. Each cross-section of the solid is a circle with radius perpendicular to the x-axis, determined by the vertical distance from the curve $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ and the line $y=1$ , or $e^{2x-x^2}-1$ . The area of any such circle is $\pi$ times the square of its radius. Since the curve intersects the axis of revolution at $x=0$ and $x=2$ , the volume would be given by

$\displaystyle\pi\int_0^2\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)^2\,\mathrm dx$
