Answer:
-276
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use the method of cofactors. Use the coefficient +6 for
9 2
8 10
This gives you one third of the solution: 6 {(9)·(10) - (8)(2) }, or 444.
Next, use the coefficient 9, taking care to change the sign to -9 as follows:
9 1
-9 | | = -9(90 - 8) = -9(82) = -738
8 10
Finally with +2 as y our coefficient, evaluate the cofactor
9 1
9 2
ending up with
+2(18-9) = +2(9) = 18
Finally add these three results together:
+444 - 738 + 18 = -276
This, the determinant, D, is -276 (the fourth answer choice)
Answer:
... ................................
Answer: The correct choice is letter C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
In this triangle, you are looking for angle degree of cos X.
When finding an angle degree, you must use the inverse of whatever trig ratio you are using. In this case, you would use
.
The adjacent side from x is 12 and the hypotenuse is 15.
So you form your trig ratio which is your answer.
= 0.80
