Find the value of x, rounded to the nearest tenth

Mathematics

Answer:

x=12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

We cannot use the Pythagoras theorem as the lengths of all sides are not known. We will use triangular ratios here to solve the given problem.  

As it is clear from the diagram that x is the hypotenuse of the triangle and 11 is the length of the base. We will use a ratio in which base and hypotenuse are used.

So,

cos ⁡θ= base/hypotenuse

cos⁡ 28=11/x

x=11/cos⁡28  

x=11/0.8829

x=12.45

Rounding off to nearest 10

x=12.5

In every right triangle, a leg is given by the multiplication between the hypothenuse and the sine of the opposite angle, or the cosine of the adjacent one.

So, in this case, we have

11 = x\cos(28)

Solving for x, we have

x = \dfrac{11}{\cos(28)}\approx 12.5

AB is tangent to circle O at B. Find the length of the radius, r, for AB = 5 and AO = 13.
alekssr [168]
ΔABO is a right triangle with AB⊥BO. The radius of the circle is BO. The Pythagorean theorem applies.
AO² = AB² + BO²
13² = 5² + r²
169 -25 = r²
r = √144 = 12

The radius (r) is 12.

A recipe for chocolate chip cookies with toffee bits and walnuts serves 8 people and needs 3 cups of flour. If Zachary wants to
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Im pretty sure it's 5.25 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that it takes 3 cups for 8 people and we don't know the amount for 14 people so write it as a fraction and cross multipy

For the equation

8/3=14/x

The cross product is

8*x=3*14

Solving for x

x=3×14/8

and reducing

x=5.25

How to find a local minimum of a function?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

  Find the places where the derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a function has a minimum where the first derivative is zero and the second derivative is positive.

That will be a "local" minimum if there are other points on the function graph that have values less than that. It will be a "global" minimum if there are no other function values less than that. A global minimum is also a local minimum.

__

On a graph, a local minimum is the bottom of the "U" where the graph changes from negative slope to positive slope.

Answer:

A)

– 6x – 2x = 16

-8x = 16

x = 16/-8 = -2

B)

3(3x – 6) = 18

9x - 18 = 18

9x = 18 + 18 = 36

x = 36/9 = 4

C) ASSUMING YOU MADE AN ERROR BY WRITING 0 INSTEAD OF (

5(2x + 3) =-4(-5 – 2x)

10x + 15 = 20 + 8x

10x - 8x = 20 - 15

2x = 5

x = 5/2

12x =

How do you use the additive inverse to evaluate an expression that uses subtraction ?<br>​
AlladinOne [14]

To use the additive inverse to evaluate an expression that uses subtraction, change the sign of the number to positive

<h3>What is additive inverse?</h3>

Additive inverse is simply changing the sign of a number and then adding it to the original number to get an answer that is equal to 0.

The additive inverse of a  number is another number

The additive inverse of number 3 is - 3

For an expression that uses subtraction, to use the additive inverse, change the sign of the number to positive

Thus, to use the additive inverse to evaluate an expression that uses subtraction, change the sign of the number to positive
