This question is asking "Where does cosine equal
?"
Based on our unit circle values and the domain of the cos^{-1} function, we see that at 30 degrees, or
, cosine is equal to
.
Depend on what the prism looks like/ the measurements
9 a
------ = -----
a 5
a^2 = 45
a = 3<span>√5
</span>
4 b
------ = -----
b 5
b^2 = 20
b = 2√5
answer:
a = 3√5
b = 2√5
hope it helps
we are given
x^2-4x-5
we can use formula
x^2-(a+b)x+ab=(x-a)(x-b)
so, we have
a+b=4
ab=-5
now, we can solve for a and b
and we get
a=5, b=-1
now, we can plug it in formula
x^2-4x-5=(x-5)(x+1) ............Answer
8-5=-3 It's negative 3 because the 8 is greater than 5
