Answer: Sin A = 3/5

Cos A = 4/5

Tan A = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the right angle triangle ABC, taking angle A as the reference angle,

AC represents the hypotenuse

BC represents the opposite side

AB represents the adjacent side.

1) Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse.

Sin A = BC/AC

Sin A = 3/5

2)Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse

Cos A = AB/AC

Cos A = 4/5

3)Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side

Tan A = BC/AB

Tan A = 3/4

Answer:

b is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

I always say SOHCAHTOA meaning

sine=opp./hyp.

cosine=adj./hyp.

tan=opp./adj.

sine=3/5

cos=4/5

tan=3/4

NASA launches a rocket at t=0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h(t)=−4.9t2+121t

Alenkasestr [34]

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+121t+283$

The sea level is represented by h = 0, therefore, to find the corresponding time when h splashes into the ocean we have to solve for t the following equation:

$h(t)=0\implies-4.9t^2+121t+283=0$

Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-4.9)(283)}}{2(-4.9)} \\ =\frac{121\pm142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =\frac{121+142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =26.8452834694... \end{gathered}$

The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.

The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have
