The ratio of two complementary angles is 17:13. What is the measure of the smaller angle?

1 answer:

8 0

We know by definition that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees. We can set up an equation using the ration given:

17x+13x=90, with x representing the amount you need to multiply the ratio by to get 90.

17x+13x=90
30x=90
x=3

We now know that the number we multiply the ratio by is 3. The smaller number in the ratio is 13, and so therefore we multiply it by 3.

3*13=39

The answer is 39 degrees.

Find the value of the following expression 100 - 2(x + 5) when x = 10 *

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 2(x + 5) = 100 - 2x - 10 = 90 -2x

90 - 2x

90 - 2×10

90 - 20 = 70

Evaluate the following integral using trigonometric substitution.

wariber [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given the integral function $\int\limits {\sqrt{a^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ , using trigonometric substitution, the substitution that will be most helpful in this case is substituting x as $asin \theta$ i.e $x = a sin\theta$ .

All integrals in the form $\int\limits {\sqrt{a^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ are always evaluated using the substitute given where 'a' is any constant.

From the given integral, $\int\limits {7\sqrt{49-x^{2} } } \, dx = \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ where a = 7 in this case.

The substitute will therefore be $x = 7 sin\theta$

2.) Given $x = 7 sin\theta$

$\frac{dx}{d \theta} = 7cos \theta$

cross multiplying

$dx = 7cos\theta d\theta$

3.) Rewriting the given integral using the substiution will result into;

$\int\limits {7\sqrt{49-x^{2} } } \, dx \\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -(7sin\theta)^{2} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -49sin^{2}\theta } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(1-sin^{2}\theta)} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(cos^{2}\theta)} } } \, dx\\since\ dx = 7cos\theta d\theta\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(cos^{2}\theta)} } } \, 7cos\theta d\theta\\= \int\limits {7\{7(cos\theta)} }}} \, 7cos\theta d\theta\\$
