We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b = legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse
Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 + S^2+4S+4 = 100 cm^2 [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S = 100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0 means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
Answer:
x=-16
Step-by-step explanation:
y=-20
y=x-4
-20=x-4
x=-16
-π/2 < arctan(x) < π/2
So cos(π/2) < cos(arctan(x)) < cos(0)
0 < cos(arctan(x)) < 1
Answer:
0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the laws of logarithms:
log81/8 + 2log2/3 - 3log 3/2 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log (2/3)^2 - log (3/2)^3 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log 4/9 - log 27/8 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log 4/9 - (log 27/8 - log 3/4)
= log (81/8 * 4/9) - log (27/8 * 4/3)
= log 9/2 - log 9/2
= 0.
Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
10/100 = 1/10 = .1 = 10%
