The Question is incomplete the Complete Question is

Look at the triangle: A right angle triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to 10 centimeters. An acute angle of the triangle is labeled as x degrees. The side adjacent to the acute angle has length 6 centimeters and the side opposite to the acute angle has length 8 centimeters. What is the value of tan x°?

Answer:

Therefore the value of tan x is

$\tan x=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

hypotenuse = 10 cm'

side adjacent to the acute angle 'x' = 6 cm.

side opposite to the acute angle 'x' = 8 cm.

To Find:

tan x = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle , Tan Identity we have

$\tan x= \dfrac{\textrm{side opposite to angle x}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle x}}$

Substituting the values we get

$\tan x= \dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Therefore the value of tan x is

$\tan x=\dfrac{4}{3}$

When the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units, the radius is...

enot [183]

Answer:

c. $\frac{1}{\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the area in square units of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units

We will use derivatives to solve our given problem.

We know that area (A) of a circle is equal to $A=\pi r^2$ .

Let us find derivative of area function with respect to time.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2)$

Bring out constant:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\pi \frac{d}{dt}(r^2)$

Using power rule and chain rule, we will get:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\pi(2r)* \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r*\frac{dr}{dt}$ Here $\frac{dr}{dt}$ represents change is radius with respect to time.

We have been given that area of an expanding circle is increasing twice as fast as its radius in linear units. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$2\pi r* \frac{dr}{dt}=2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$2\pi r=2$

$\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}=\frac{2}{2\pi}$

$r=\frac{1}{\pi}$

Therefore, the radius is $\frac{1}{\pi}$ and option 'c' is the correct choice.

What is the product?

fredd [130]

Answer:

$\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }$ × $\frac{k-2}{2k+1}$ = $\frac{2}{k + 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }$ × $\frac{k-2}{2k+1}$

To solve the above, we need to follow the steps below;

4k+2 can be factorize, so that;

4k +2 = 2 (2k + 1)

k² - 4 can also be be expanded, so that;

k² - 4 = (k-2)(k+2)

Lets replace 4k +2 by 2 (2k + 1)

and

k² - 4 by (k-2)(k+2) in the expression given

$\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }$ × $\frac{k-2}{2k+1}$

$\frac{2(2k+ 1)}{(k-2)(k+2)}$ × $\frac{k-2}{2k+1}$

(2k+1) at the numerator will cancel-out (2k+1) at the denominator, also (k-2) at the numerator will cancel-out (k-2) at the denominator,

So our expression becomes;

$\frac{2}{k + 2}$

Therefore, $\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }$ × $\frac{k-2}{2k+1}$ = $\frac{2}{k + 2}$

Linear System, substitutional method 5x+4y=32 9x-y=33 helppp

Pachacha [2.7K]

5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ 45x - 5y = 165
 41y = 123
 41 41
 y = 3
 5x + 4(3) = 32
 5x + 12 = 32
 - 12 - 12
 5x = 20
 5 5
 x = 4
 (x, y) = (4, 3)
