Answer: 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA

CAH: cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cosine of angle w = 84/85 = 0.98823 ≈ 0.99

Angle Y is 90 degrees, meaning it's a right triangle. Therefore angle W is the top/tip of a triangle, while X is the angle next to Y. If you plug in the information afterwards and follow the trigonometry rule (SOH CAH TOA) you will find your answer.

Describe the steps in solving the linear equation 3(3x − 8) = 4x + 6.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(3x-8)=4x+6

First you would distribute the 3 on the L side to the parenthasies

9x-24=4x+6

Then, you would subtract 4x from both sides because it is the smallest X value

5x-24=6

Add 24 to both sides (inverse operations)

5x=30

divide both sides by 5

x=6

How do you convert from a radical expression to a rational exponent?
Murljashka [212]
 The denominator of the raised fraction is what goes on the outside of the square root. So if you had 2 raised to 1/3, you'd put the 3 raised outside to the left of the radical and the 2 inside. They give the same answer, so if you know one, you can always play with the other until you get the same answer. My teacher told us in Calculus a funny/weird way to remember it is the "bottom (of the raised fraction) goes in the crack (of the radical)." Does this help??
