I found this!!!!
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}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
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}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
In this case:
\begin{gathered}\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC\end{gathered}
α=x\°
adjacent=BC=y
hypotenuse=AC
Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
, and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":
cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}cos(x\°)=
AC
y
AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}AC=
cos(x\°)
y
Answer:
396
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference of two squares is breaking down numbers into pieces and using the distributive property to solve. The pieces should be in the form (a-b)(c+d).
Write 22 as (20 + 2) and 18 as (20-2).
(20+2)(20-2) = 400 + 40 - 40 - 4 = 400 - 4 = 396
Answer:
16 crates
Step-by-step explanation:
-This is a division problem.
-Let x be the number of crates that will fit in to the box car.
-To solve x, we divide the volume of the boxcar by the volume of one crate:
Hence, 16 crates will fit in the boxcar.
Since only the first term has ax for coefficients the GCF cant be -3ax^5.
The GCF would be -3a
Factor -3a out of all the terms:
-3a(2x^7)-3a(-4a^5)-3a(a^4)
Now factor -3a out of the equation for the final answer:
-3a(2x^7-4a^5+a^4)
