Marika solved the equation (6x + 15)2 + 24 = 0. Her work is below. 1. (6x + 15)2 = –24 2. = 3. 6x + 15 = 4. 6x = – 15 5. x = Ana

lyze Marika’s steps. Which statement is true about her work? In step 2, Marika should have simplified to be . There are no real solutions to this equation because the square root of a negative number is not a real number. There should be two real solutions to this equation because = . Marika correctly solved this equation.

Given equation: (6x + 15)^2 + 24 = 0.

First step Marika applied to get rid 24 from left side.

24 is added on left side of the equation.

The reverse operation of addition is subtract.

So, we need to subtract 24 from both sides in first step.

(6x + 15)^2 + 24-24 = 0-24

On simplifying it gives:

(6x+15)^2= -24..

Then she took square root to get rid square from left side .

But we can see that 24 is a negative number.

So, we can't take square root of 24.

Therefore, in second step the did some mistake:

<h3><em>There are no real solutions to this equation because the square root of a negative number is not a real number.</em></h3>

Answer:  \frac{8}{17} or 8:17

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle x (other than right angle) in a right triangle ,the trigonometric ratio of sin x is given by :-

\sin x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Given: A right triangle with hypotenuse = 68 units

The side adjacent to S =  60

Let h be the side opposite to S, then using Pythagoras in the given right triangle, we get

(68)^2=60^2+h^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=68^2-60^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=1024\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{1024}=32

Thus, the side opposite to S = 32 units

Now,  the trigonometric ratio for sin S is given by :-

\sin S=\frac{\text{side opposite to S}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\\\Rightarrow\sin S=\frac{32}{68}=\frac{8}{17}

Hence, the  trigonometric ratio for sin S =\frac{8}{17} or 8:17

Answer:

You plug in numbers into the y=mx+b equation and solve for which ever one you are finding for.
m=slope
x=x intercept
b=y intercept
apply the numbers to this equation and solve or x
