Answer 14/15

Step-by-step explanation:You want to get a common denominator for both fractions so you multiply 3/5 by 3 to get 9/15. Now you add 5/15 and 9/15 to get the answer. 5+9=14. And since the denominators are the same you leave them alone.

Harman [31]

Answer:

A.

The student made an error in step 3 because a is positive in Quadrant IV; therefore,

$cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P\ (a,b)$

$r = \± \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = -\frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Required

Where and which error did the student make

Given that the angle is in the 4th quadrant;

The value of r is positive, a is positive but b is negative;

Hence;

$r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

Since a belongs to the x axis and b belongs to the y axis;

$cos\theta$ is calculated as thus

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{r}$

Substitute $r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

Rationalize the denominator

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} * \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

So, from the list of given options;

The student's mistake is that a is positive in quadrant iv and his error is in step 3

Which equation can be used to find the length of Line segment A C? Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is 90 degrees and angle

taurus [48]

Answer:

AC = 10sin(40°)

Explanation:

The diagram representing the question is shown in the attached image

Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, we can apply the special trig functions

These functions are as follows:

sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse

cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

Now, in the given diagram:

θ = 40°

AC is the side opposite to θ

AB = 10 in is the hypotenuse

Based on these givens, we will use the sin(θ) function

Therefore:

$sin(40) = \frac{AC}{10}\\ \\AC = 10sin(40)$

Solve 7y-6=2y+8 show clear algebraic working

aniked [119]

1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5
