(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a^2 + 8a + a + 8 = 0
a^2 + 9a + 8 = 0
a^2 + a + 8a + 8 = 0
a (a + 1) + 8 (a + 1) = 0
(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a + 1 = 0
a = -1

a + 8 = 0
a = -8

Maureen walked 3 miles how many feet did she walk
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

15,840 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Maureen walked 3 miles. We are asked to convert the distance walked by Maureen in feet.

Since we know that 1 mile equals 5,280 feet, so to convert our given distance we will multiply 3 by 5,280.

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=\text{3 miles}\times \frac{5,280\text{ feet}}{\text{Mile}}

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=3\times 5,280\text{ feet}

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=15,840\text{ feet}

Therefore, Maureen walked 15,840 feet.

Serhud [2]
Okay so -6 + Y = 0
Y = his total score on the first day
so you can do 0- (-6)= Y
answer Y= 6

The measure of an angle is 8 times the measure of its complement. tina writes an equation and finds the correct measure of each
pogonyaev
One of the unknown angles (let's called it n) has a complement (meaning their sum adds up to 90 degrees) and the other angle is 8 times the unknown angle (8n)

With all this information, you should have the equation:

n + 8n = 90

To solve, combine like terms to get:

9n = 90

Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = 10

Now we plug back in to find our angle measurements. The first angle, n, is 10 degrees. The second angle, 8n, is 8 * 10 which is 80; the second angle is 80 degrees.

Express sin A,cos A and tan A as ratios
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Part A) sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}

Part B) cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}

Part C) tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the sine of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the hypotenuse

so

sin(A)=\frac{BC}{AB}

substitute the values

sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{23}

Part B) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the cosine of angle A is equal to divide the adjacent side angle A by the hypotenuse

so

cos(A)=\frac{AC}{AB}

substitute the values

cos(A)=\frac{19}{23}

Part C) we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure the tangent of angle A is equal to divide the opposite side angle A by the adjacent side angle A

so

tan(A)=\frac{BC}{AC}

substitute the values

tan(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{42}}{19}
