Complete the proof of the Law of Sines/Cosines.

Mathematics
1 answer:
frosja888 [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(A)

  1. Definition of altitude
  2. c⋅sinA
  3. c\cdot sinA=a\cdot sinC.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Law of Sines/Cosines.</u>

  • Given triangle ABC with altitude segment BD labeled x. Angles ADB and CDB are right angles by the (1) <u>definition of altitude</u> making triangle ABD and triangle BCD right triangles.
  • Using the trigonometric ratios sin A=\dfrac{x}{c} and sin C=\dfrac{x}{a}.
  • Multiplying to isolate x in both equations gives (2)x=c\cdot sinA<u> </u> and x=a\cdot sinC.
  • We also know that x = x by the reflexive property.
  • By the substitution property,(3)c\cdot sinA=a\cdot sinC.
  • Dividing each side of the equation by ac gives:

\frac{c\cdot sinA}{ac} =\frac{a\cdot sinC}{ac} \\\frac{ sinA}{a} =\frac{sinC}{c}

Anarel [89]
Mult. the 2nd eqn by 6 and then add this "new" equation to the 1st given eqn:

 -6x + y = -2
  6x -18y = 54
--------------------
        -17y = 52, or y = -52/17.  Subst. this value of y into either equation to find the value of x.

Inverse of the function h(x)=\dfrac{3}{2}(x-11)h(x)= 2 3 ​ (x−11)h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, start fracti
blagie [28]

Answer:

The inverse function of h(x) = 3/2*(X-11)  is:  g(x)= (2/3*X) +11

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = Y= 3/2*(X-11)

To find the inverse function, the first step is to exchange the position of the variables with each other. So;

X= 3/2*(Y-11)

Now we need to isolate the variable Y from this equation. The final result will be te inverse function.

X=3/2*(Y-11)

2*X=3*(Y-11)

2/3*X=Y-11

2/3*X +11 = Y

Y= (2/3*X) + 11  (Inverse function)

Find the approximate solution of this system of equations. y = |x^2 − 3x + 1|
Aneli [31]
*Hint: When you have two y's, they could equal each other in order to solve for the x value.

|x^2 -3x + 1| = - (x - 1)
x^2 -3x + 1 = -x + 1
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1
x^2 - 2x = 0
x (x - 2)
x = 2 and x = 0

Once both of them are plugged in, only x = 2 works so that's the value for x. Now we just plug it in order to solve for y.

y = x - 1
y = 2 - 1
y = 1

(2, 1)
The answer would be C.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 3).
Temka [501]
(3,6)    (5,3)
(x1,y1)(x2,y2)

The slope equation is: y2-y1
                                 ---------
                                  x2-x1

Replace with numbers: 3-6/5-3

Minus 3 and 6 is equal to -3

Minus 5-3 is 2 

So the fraction is -3/2 (no need to divide because you can't simplify it)

So the slope is -3/2

For the equation you have to replace the letters by 0's 

3×0-2y=6
Times 3 and 0
0-2y=6
Now you want to get the y alone, so minus 0 from both sides 
   0-2y=6
  -0      -0

-2y=6

Divide -2y from the 6

-2y=6
----  ---
  -2   -2

y=3 

The y intercept is 3 with the slope of -3/2

Airline companies raise and lower their ticket prices based on the supply and demand. Due to high numbers of fliers, one company
vovikov84 [41]
The raised price represents 110% of the original price (100% plus the extra 10%)

A percentage is converted into a decimal multiplier by dividing by 100:
\frac{110}{100}  = 1.10

To clarify the final stage, consider this (where n is the original price):
n * 1.10 = 192.50
1.10n = 192.50

From here, basic algebraic rules make solving for n easy:
n =  \frac{192.50}{1.10} = 175

Therefore the original price of a ticket was $175
