Answer:

 - The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

- The scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

 You can observe in the figure attached that  "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.

Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°,  the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

 This is:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

In this case:

\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC

Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} , and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":

cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}

AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}

A quickie. If n identical dice are rolled, number of possible outcomes are?
nata0808 [166]
In rolling one die, there are 6 possible outcomes because each die has 4 faces. The number of outcomes when rolling n dice is equal to 6^n. By this, the number of outcomes when 2 dice are rolled is 36, 216 for 3 dice, and so on.

What is the vertex of the graph of the function below? y = x2 - 8x + 12 A. (-2, 0) B. (-4, -4) C. (-4, 0) D. (-2, -4)
mario62 [17]
To find the vertex of the parabola, we need to write it in a vertex form.

y=x² - 8x +12 

1) complete the square

y=x² - 8x +12 
y = x² -2*4x + 4² - 4² +12
y=(x-4)²  -16 +12

2) calculate and write a vertex
y=(x-4)²  -16 +12
 y=(x-4)²  - 4

(x-4)           -----     x- coordinate of the vertex x=4
 y=(x-4)²  - 4    -------y- coordinate of the vertex  y = -   4 
  
Vertex is (4, -4).
Answer is (4, -4).  No correct answer is given in choices.

What’s the answer ????
Temka [501]

Answer:

Answer is 4/25

Step-by-step explanation:

0.16*100 = 16 which would allow us to say 16/100

now you can divide 16 and 100 by 4 which would be

16/4 = 4 and 100/4= 25

therefore the answer is 4/25
