Answer: QS=11.8cm


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of RS is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment QS as following:

cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17

3. Substitute values and solve for QS:

0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm

4. To the nearest tenth:

QS=11.8cm

Mashcka [7]
Use substitution
x -4x - 7 = 2
-3x = 9, x = -3
Y = -4(-3) - 7
Y = 12 - 7, y = 5
Solution: x = -3, y = 5

Answer:

y \leqslant 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is set of all y-values. The range starts from minimum value to maximum value.

We don't have minimum value (approaching negative infinity.)

We have maximum value at x ≈ 2 equal 6.

Therefore the answer is

-inf <= y <= 6. But we don't usually write that. Instead, we cut out -inf and we get —

y \leqslant 6
