Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system:</u>
In order to solve it graphically, graph both lines and find the point of their intersection.
Graphing easy if you plot the x- and y- intercepts and connect them with a line.
<em>See attached.</em>
Both lines have same x-intercept, which is also the solution: (2, 0)
Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.
Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.
(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2
Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2
Root both sides
x^2+1=c
Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 13 and y = 13√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that sin Ф = opposite side / hypotenuse, and that
cos Ф = adjacent sice / hypotenuse.
if we recognize that the angle Ф is 30° here, then we know that:
x = opposite side = hypotenuse * sin 30° = 26*(1/2) = 13.
and....
y = adjacent side = hypotenuse*cos 30° = 26*√3/2 = 13√3
In summary, x = 13 and y = 13√3
