When finding missing side measures in a right triangle.

Soh = (Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse)

Cah = (Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse)

Toa = (Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent)

There are also reciprocals for these values:

Cho (Cosecant = Hypotenuse / Opposite)

Sha (Secant = Hypotenuse / Adjacent)

Cao (Cotanget = Adjacent / Opposite)

Help me on all these problems!

AleksAgata [21]

For 7: because of the decimal place in the 0.6 it's not a huge number and it's not possible to get a big number like 15000

For 8: because again a fraction dividing is not going to do much you can't get a big difference like the number 30.

The center of a hyperbola is (−4,3) , and one vertex is (−4,7) . The slope of one of the asymptotes is 2.

Monica [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

C (-4, 3)

V (-4, 7)

asymptotes = 2 = $\frac{b}{a}$

- This is a vertical hyperbola, the equation is

$\frac{(y - k)^{2} }{a^{2} } + \frac{(x - h)^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1$

slope = 2

a is the distance from the center to the vertex = 4

b = 2(4) = 8

$\frac{(y - 3)^{2} }{4^{2} } + \frac{(x + 4)^{2} }{8^{2} } = 1$

$\frac{(y - 3)^{2} }{16} + \frac{(x + 4)^{2} }{64} = 1$

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 236.8-cm and a standard dev

RSB [31]

Transform M to the standard normally distributed random variable Z via

$Z=\dfrac{M-\mu_M}{\sigma_M}$

where $\mu_M$ and $\sigma_M$ are the mean and standard deviation for $M$ , respectively. Then

$P(236.5$
