Answer:
a = √11 and b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to attached picture for reference
for an right triangle with angle θ
we are given
cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse
hence
adjacent length = 5 units
hypotenuse length = 6 units
the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:
hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite² (rearrange)
opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²
opposite ² = 6² - 5²
opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11
sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse (substitute values above)
sin θ = √11 / 6
hence a = √11 and b = 6
We have been given a table of values of a function. We are asked to determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear.
We know that a function is linear when its rate of change (slope) is constant.
Let us find slope for each of the given points using slope formula.
Similarly, we will find the slopes using other given coordinates.
Since the rate of change for each set of points is , so the rate of change is constant.
Therefore, the given function is linear.
Answer:
n = , n =
Step-by-step explanation:
6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term
product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 3 and - 2
Use these factors to split the n- term
6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term
(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n =
2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n =
