When i am solving for the sides of a right triangle when will i use trigonometric functions

Mathematics

AnnZ [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. We need to use trigonometric functions to find them when we don't have any angle other than 90 degree shown.

Three common trigonometric ratios are the sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). These are defined for acute angle.

However when we have one angle given with the 90 degree we can deduct without trigonometry but we would use all angles to find the hypotenuse or all angles to find the side of a right angle.

Alternatively, we cna do this with one given angle but if we have one, we might as well work out the other one without trigonometry and do a division with Sin = 25 (sin 35) sin 90  / sin 55

is one example when given the base 25ft that would find the hypotenuse or the length of elevation for buildings looking down or zip-wire questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

       A

       |  \

       l     \

4cm|        \ 5cm

       |          \

       |            \

   B | -  -  -  -  \ C      

          3cm

Suppose we wanted to find sin( A) in△ABC    

(The height of the wall in elevation questions would be used above the base shown 3cm at the start) Sin = 3 (sin 35)° sin 90°  / sin 55° to find the height side (4).

Sine is defined as the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

sin(A) =  hypotenuse          ​= AB/BC        = 3/5

             / opposite

Can you draw different functions that have the same x-intercepts and the same domain and range?
iogann1982 [59]
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.  A function looks like this: f(x) = mx + c.  Let's add another function, f(y) = ny + d.  If the x-intercept is the same, we can subtract c and d from their respective equations. f(x) = mx, f(y) = ny. If the domains are the same, then x and y can have the same value, so we divide it out. f(x) = m, f(y) = n.  Finally, if the ranges are the same, the value of f(x) = f(y).  So by the substitution property, m=n.  Since all the variables equal each other, both functions are equal to f(x) = mx+c!  Therefore, they can only be the same function.

You are told that the average rate of change of a particular function is always negative. What can you conclude about the graph
ira [324]
A negative average rate of change means that as x increases, y decreases. That means that the graph goes down to the right.

PLZ ANSWER URGENT<br> A).1+ 4x+2/2x=5x<br> b).2x-2+3x/4=2x
Elena L [17]

A.

Divide the numbers

1 + 4x 2/2 • x =5x

1 + 4x + 1x =5x

Multiply by 1

1 + 4x + 1x=5x

Combine like terms

1 + 4x + x =5x

1 + 5x =5x

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

5x + 1 = 5x

5x + 1 - 1 =5x -1

Simplify

Subtract the numbers

5x = 5x -1

Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

5x = 5x -1

5x - 5x = 5x -1 -5x

Simplify

0= -1

Result

0= -1

A randomly selected sample of 100 students had an average grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 with a standard deviation of 0.2.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

A. 0.020

Step-by-step explanation:

we calculate the standard error of the sample mean with the formula,

E=\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} },

with E= standard error of the sample mean

s= standard deviation

n= sample

So,

s= 0.2

n= 100

E=\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{100} } =\frac{0.2}{10}=0.02

Confirm that (2x + 1)^2 + (2x^2 +2x)^2 = (2x^2 + 2x + 1)^2
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+1)^2+(2x^2+2x)^2=

(2x+1)^2=4x^2+4x+1

(2x^2+2x)^2=4x^4+8x^3+4x^2

4x^2+4x+1+4x^4+8x^3+4x^2=4x^4+8x^3+8x^2+4x+1

(2x^2+2x+1)^2=4x^4+8x^3+8x^2+4x+1

4x^4+8x^3+8x^2+4x+1=4x^4+8x^3+8x^2+4x+1
