Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of adding a number plus the next number will be alternating 4,-4,4,-4,4,-4......

-4+8 = 4

8+ -12=  -4

-12 +16 =4

16+-20=-4

-20 + 24=4

24+-28 = -4

So you need to calculate what number plus the previous number has as result 4 or -4 alternating

8 + ? = -4

?= -4 -8

?=-12

      -12+? =4       ?=12+4     ?=16

16+? =-4     / = -16-4   ?=-20

ANOTHER METHOD

4*-1=-4

4*2=8

4*-3=-12

4*4 = 16

4*-5=-20

4*6=24

4*-7=-28

4*8=32

Using sum or difference formulas, find the exact value of sin(165∘)
Nikitich [7]
\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities}
\\ \quad \\
sin({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})=sin({{ \alpha}})cos({{ \beta}}) + cos({{ \alpha}})sin({{ \beta}})
\\ \quad \\
sin({{ \alpha}} - {{ \beta}})=sin({{ \alpha}})cos({{ \beta}})- cos({{ \alpha}})sin({{ \beta}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf sin(165^o)\implies sin(120^o+45^o)
\\\\\\
sin(120^o)cos(45^o)~+~cos(120^o)sin(45^o)\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}~+~\cfrac{-1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\sqrt{6}}{4}~-~\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{4}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}

What is the perimeter of this figure? <br> 6x+6<br> 6x+10<br> 4x+6<br> 4x+8
ki77a [65]

Answer: 4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay since the area for the block is X, two numbers multiplied together is X.

Since the big block has an area of X^2, then this shows the sides to be X.

This gives the sides of the block with area X to be 1 and X.

Now just add up every side like this : 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + x + x + x + x to get 4x+8

I need help please this is confusing
kap26 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula when it's perpendicular : m1 × m = -1

Now Differentiate the quadratic function given.

d/dx ( x^2 - x + 1 ) at an x value of -1 from the point "(-1 , 3 )"

= 2x - 1 .... plug in the x value

= 2 × -1 - 1 = -3.

Use this equation...

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope = derivative at x = -1

y1 = value found by subbing -1 into the original function

x1 = the x value often given.

y - 3 = 1/3 (x + 1)

= 1/3x + 1/3 + 3

y = 1/3x + 10/3.

not sure about this one - it probably intersects at the x & y intercepts of the equation of the normal line.

y = 0 + 10/3 = 10/3

1/3x = 0 - 10/3

x = -10/3 / 1/3 = -10

so the point .... (-10 , 10/3)
