Answer:

The combined length is 61 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the combined length of all the pieces Meg measured, multiply each measure by the number of pieces and then sum all the values

Let

x -----> the combined length

we know that

we have

1 piece of 3 inches

2 pieces of 5 inches

3 pieces of 6 inches

3 piece of 7 inches

1 piece of 9 inches

$x=(1)(3)+ (2)(5)+(3)(6)+(3)(7)+(1)(9)\\x=3+10+18+21+9\\x=61\ in$

therefore

The combined length is 61 inches

What are the exact values of sin(2π3radians) and cos(2π3radians)

deff fn [24]

We know that
2π/3 radians-------> convert to degrees-----> 2*180/3---> 120°
120°=90°+30°

Part a) Find <span>sin(2π/3)
</span>sin(2π/3)=sin (90°+30°)
we know that
sin (A+B)=sin A*cos B+cos A*sin B
so
sin (90°+30°)=sin 90*cos 30+cos 90*sin 30
sin 90=1
cos 30=√3/2
cos 90=0
sin 30=1/2
sin (90°+30°)=1*√3/2+0*1/2-----> √3/2

the answer part a) is
sin(2π/3)=√3/2

Part b) Find cos (2π/3)
cos (2π/3)=cos (90°+30°)
we know that
cos (A+B)=cos A*cos B-sin A*sin B
so
cos (90°+30°)=cos 90*cos 30-sin 90*sin 30
sin 90=1
cos 30=√3/2
cos 90=0
sin 30=1/2
cos (90°+30°)=0*√3/2-1*1/2----> -1/2

the answer part b) is
cos (2π/3)=-1/2

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Quick question before I answer: Did he have to pay $2,399 when he signed the lease, or was that just how much he had to pay in total over the course of 36 months?

Sari is teaching her best friend how to factor trinomials with a leading coefficient greater than 1. She starts with the trinomi

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

See explanation

$2x^2+5x+3=(x+1)(2x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

$2x^2+5x+3$

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

$2\cdot 3=6$

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

$6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}$

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

$2+3=5$

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

$2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3$

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

$2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)$

What are the equivalent fractions for 2 1/5 and 1 5/6 using 30 as the common denominator

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2 6/30 and 1 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find 30÷5 and 30÷6. You do this because you need to know the multiplier when you create an equivalent fraction. 30÷5 is 6 and 30÷6 is 5. 2 1/5. You need to multiply the 1 and 5 by 6, that is 2 6/30. 1 5/6. 5 and 6 multiplied by 5 is 25 and 30. 1 5/6=1 25/30
