Answer:

2in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the original side "x". so x² (area of a square) is = x² (as we can't simplify it). Then we got a 4 added to each side. So now we redefine each side as "x+4". So now we can make an equation of the area of the square. x² + 4² = 36. Now you realize that 36 is 6² so you write it. x² + 4² = 6² . Since everything is now a square just square root everything (√) So Now x + 4 = 6. Now you have a 1st degree equation now solve simple math. x = 6 - 4 = 2. The side of original square is 2in

The answer=>

For this,we need to know what's Middle splitting method

  • In order to factorize x² + bx + c we have to find numbers p and q such that p + q = b and pq = c. After finding p and q, we split the middle term in the quadratic as <em><u>px + qx and</u></em> get desired factors by grouping the terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x {}^{2}  - 24x + 16 \\  =  > 9x {}^{2}  - 12x - 12x + 16 \\  =  > 3x(3x - 4) - 4(3x - 4) \\  =  > (3x - 4)(3x - 4) \\ so... \\ x = eitherway \: 4

i.e

Alpha= Beta = 4

Find the exact value of cos(arcsin(1/4)). For full credit, explain your reasoning.
Westkost [7]
First way
arcsin(1/4) means that 1/4 sin of the angle.

sin(α)=1/4
sin²α+cos²α=1
(1/4)²+cos²α=1
cos²α=1-1/16 =15/16
cosα=+/-(√15)/4

<span>Second way
</span>
sin(α)=1/4 =opposite leg/hipotenuse
cos(α)=adjacent leg/hypothenuse
adjacent leg =√(hypotenuse²- Opposite²)=√(16-1)=√15
cosα=+/-√15/4

For one value of sinα, possible 2 values of cosα.
