I am a little confused: One method you can use to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, given three side lengths, is

to apply the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. Alternately, you can use trigonometric ratios. Show that the triangle in the diagram is a right triangle by using trigonometric ratios. ( Be sure to show all work/and or reasoning.

Trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine, and tangent (opposite side over hypotenuse, adjacent side over hypotenuse, and opposite side over adjacent side, respectively); if you wanted to prove that one of the angles of the triangle is 90º, then the cosine of that angle would be 0, the sine would be 1, and the tangent would be undefined.

Answer with explanation:

The triangle in the Diagram Described has following measurement:

 Longest Side = 65 units

One side which can be either Perpendicular or base = 63 units

And , other side which can be also, either Perpendicular or base = 16 units

We can prove that the triangle described is right triangle by two ways.

1. Using Converse of Pythagorean Theorem

Square of Longest side = Sum of Squares of other two sides-----(1)

So, Square of Longest Side =  65²=4225

Sum of Square of other two sides = 16² + 63²

                                        = 256 + 3969

                                        =  4225

Statement (1), is valid.

So,Triangle is right angled triangle, right angled at A.

2. using Trigonometric Ratios

Suppose the triangle is right Angled at A.

In Right triangle B AC

tan B=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\tan B=\frac{16}{63}\\\\tan C=\frac{63}{16}\\\\ tan(B +C)=\frac{tan B + tan C}{1-tan B \times tanC}\\\\tan (B +C)=\frac{\frac{16}{63}+\frac{63}{16}}{1-\frac{16}{63}\times \frac{63}{16}}\\\\tan (B +C)=\frac{\text{Any rational number}}{0}\\\\tan (B +C)=\infty\\\\B +C=90^{\circ}\\\\ \text{Using the trigonometric Identity},tan(A+B)=\frac{tan A +tan B}{1-tan A*tan B}

B +C =90°

Also,→ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C=180°≡ (Angle sum property of triangle)

→∠A +90°=180°

→∠A=180° -90°

→∠A=90°

So, triangle is right Angled triangle , Right angled at A.

Hence ,proved.

Without solving the equation, determine the nature of the roots of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0.
noname [10]

Answer:

two real, unequal  roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation.  The quadratic formula can be used to determine how many and what kind of roots may exist:  

Find the discriminant, which is defined as b^2 - 4ac, if ax^2 + bx + c = 0.  In this case, a = 1, b = -2 and c  = -8, so that the discriminant value is

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-8), or 4 + 32  =  36.

Because the discriminant is real and positive, we know for certain that we have two real, unequal  roots

How old is the expanded notation method work
Akimi4 [234]
Well, 
For example 

2.34 * 10^6 will be....
2,340,000
It is because if you have the positive powers, you move your decimal to the right. In this case the power is 6 so you move your decimal to the right 6 times. 
Here's another example

1.23 X 10^-2 
The answer will be 0.0123 because you move your decimal two the left two times. The power is negative 2 so you move it to the left.

Final tips: If you have positive power, move it to the right and if you have negative power, move it to the left.

Select one of the factors of 3x2 10x 3
balu736 [363]
The polynomial is 3x^2 + 10x + 3 and the two factors are (3x+1) and (x+3), because

(3x+1)(x+3) = 3x^2 +9x + x +3 = 3x^2 + 10x +3
