Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The three pieces of fencing he has to use are 8 feet, 15 feet, and 20 feet long. For him to be able to make a right triangle with his fence, the length of the sides must form a Pythagoras triple. To determine if the lengths make a Pythagoras triple, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent².

Therefore

20² = 8² + 15²

400 = 64 + 225 = 289

Since they are not equal, it means that they do not form Pythagoras theorem, thus,.

He will not be able to make a right triangle with his fence.

Find cosØ if sinØ=-12/13 and tanØ&gt;0.<br><br> A) -5/12<br> B) -5/13<br> C) 12/5<br> D) -13/12
mestny [16]

Answer:

-5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opp / hyp

sin theta = -12 /13

we can find the adj side by using the pythagorean theorem

adj^2 + opp ^2 = hyp^2

adj^2 +(-12)^2 = 13^2

adj^2 +144 =169

adj^2 = 169-144

adj^2 = 25

Taking the square root of each side

adj = ±5

We know that it has to be negative since it is in the third quad

adj = -5

cos theta = adj / hyp

cos theta = -5/13

The demand for video recorders has been estimated to be Qv = 134 − 1.07Pf + 46Pm − 2.1Pv − 5I, where Qv is the quantity of video
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The Video recorders are inferior goods.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Q_{v} =134-1.07Pf+46Pm-2.1Pv-5I

where;

The price of the recorders films are increasing by a term 1.07 which gives that the Price is increasing by a little. Also adding the Price of video recorder is increasing by a factor 2.1 and the Revenue or income is increasing by a term 5 (Which is high) so, revenue and price are increasing leaving the quality of the voice recorder decreasing by a large margin for maintaining the balance.

As

                               Revenue =price*Quality

So, in conclusion the quality decreases and thus the video recorders are inferior goods.
