Answer:

129.8 approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

So this sounds like a problem for the Law of Cosines. The largest angle is always opposite the largest side in a triangle.

So 11 is the largest side so the angle opposite to it is what we are trying to find. Let's call that angle, X.

My math is case sensitive.

X is the angle opposite to the side x.

Law of cosines formula is:

x^2=a^2+b^2-2ab \cos(X)

So we are looking for X.

We know x=11, a=4, and b=8 (it didn't matter if you called b=4 and a=8).

11^2=4^2+8^2-2(4)(8)\cos(X)

121=16+64-64\cos(X)

121=80-64\cos(X)

Subtract 80 on both sides:

121-80=-64\cos(X)

41=-64\cos(X)

Divide both sides by -64:

\frac{41}{-64}=\cos(X)

Now do the inverse of cosine of both sides or just arccos( )

[these are same thing]

\arccos(\frac{-41}{64})=X

Time for the calculator:

X=129.8 approximately

Answer:

D. Collinear

Step-by-step explanation:

Three points lying on a line are collinear because they share the same line.

the rest of the options can be ruled out because the points can not be congruent due to lack of distance information and the same goes for midpoint and equal.

Match each function formula with the corresponding transformation of the parent function y = 3x
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

1. y = -3^ x Translated up by 1 unit 2.

2.y = 3^ -x Reflected over the y-axis 3.

3.y = 3 ^x - 2 Translated right by 2 units 4.

4. y = 3 ^x + 1 Translated down by 2 units 5.

5. y = 3^ x + 1 Translated left by 1 unit 6.

6. y = 3 ^x - 2 Reflected over the x-axis

Transformations of exponential functions
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

It's the last one. We know it's to the right because the -8 is in the exponent and also, it's -8 not +8.
