Step 1

<u>Find the value of MN</u>

In the right triangle MNL

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

ML^{2} =MN^{2} +NL^{2}

Solve for MN

MN^{2}=ML^{2}-NL^{2}

in this problem we have

ML=25\ units\\NL=15\ units

Substitute in the formula above

MN^{2}=25^{2}-15^{2}

MN^{2}=400

MN=20\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>

we know that

In the right triangle MNL

cos(M)=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ M}{hypotenuse}=\frac{MN}{ML}=\frac{MN}{25}

Substitute the value of MN

cos (M)=\frac{20}{25}=\frac{4}{5}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The value of cos(M) is \frac{4}{5}

I got disconnected from my tutor, can't reconnect. need an explanation ​

The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.

|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{for }x\ge0\\-x&\text{for }x

For the equation

-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14

rearrange terms to get

|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4

Now,

• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then

2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4

• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that

-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or

2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4

In the first case,

2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4

2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4

<em>x</em> = 37/8

In the second case,

2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4

2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4

<em>x</em> = 3/8

What is x/9 = 9/27 help plz
Irina18 [472]
<h3><u>QUES</u><u>TION</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>

what is x/9 = 9/27 help plz

<h3><u>ANSWER</u><u> </u><u>AND</u><u> </u><u>SOLU</u><u>TION</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>

  • SOLVING FOR X

<u>Reduce</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>fraction</u><u> </u><u>with</u><u> </u><u>9</u>

\large \sf  = \dfrac{x}{9}  =  \dfrac{ \cancel9}{ \cancel{27}}

<u>\large \sf =  \dfrac{x}{9}  =  \dfrac{1}{3}</u>

<u>Now</u><u> </u><u>simpli</u><u>fy</u><u> </u><u>using</u><u> </u><u>cross-multiply</u>

<u>\large \sf  = \dfrac{3x}{9}  = 1</u>

<u>\large \sf = 3x = 1 \times 9</u>

<u>\large \sf = 3x = 9</u>

<u>Lastly</u><u> </u><u>divide</u><u> </u><u>both</u><u> </u><u>sides</u>

<u>\large \sf = 3x \div 3 = 9 \div 3</u>

<u>\large \sf = x = 9  \div 3</u>

<u>\large \sf = x = 3</u>

<h3><u>FINAL</u><u> </u><u>ANSWER</u><u>:</u></h3>

\huge \orange{ \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 3}}}}

How well does the idea of the melting pot reflect U.S. immigration around 1900?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The melting pot theory of ethnic relations, which sees American identity as centered upon the acculturation or assimilation and the intermarriage of white immigrant groups, has been analyzed by the emerging academic field of whiteness studies. This discipline examines the "social construction of whiteness" and highlights the changing ways in which whiteness has been normative to American national identity from the 17th to the 20th century.
