Answer:

  109°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines is good for finding angles when you know three sides. It tells you ...

  a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2bc·cos(A)

where a, b, c are the side lengths and A, B, C are the opposite angles. Here, we want a=18, since the longest side is opposite the largest angle.

Solving for cos(A), we get ...

  (b^2 +c^2 -a^2)/(2bc) = cos(A)

  A = arccos((b^2 +c^2 -a^2)/(2bc)) = arccos((10^2 +12^2 -18^2)/(2·10·12))

  = arccos(-80/240) = arccos(-1/3) ≈ 109.471°

The largest angle of the triangle is about 109°.

A population of 50 timber wolves was introduced into a forest in 2009. The population is expected to grow by the function p(t)=5
Viktor [21]

Answer:

the population in 2015 is 8201.0695

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

There is a population of the 50 timber wolves

And, the exponential function given is

p(t) = 50 × e^(0.85 × t)

Here t denotes the time period i.e.

= 2015 - 2009

= 6

So,

= 50 × e^(0.85 × 6)

= 8201.095

Hence, the population in 2015 is 8201.0695

How you would convert the repeating, nonterminating decimal to a fraction? Please EXPLAIN the process as you solve the problem,
zmey [24]
Okay, here we go.

With simpler decimals, this is a bit easier so I'll explain that first to make sure you get the basic idea. 

Let's say you had a decimal for .75 and wanted to create the fraction mathematically. To do this you would:

First divide the decimal by 1 so .75/1
Then multiply be a multiple of 10 that eliminates the decimal so in this case 100
so you now have 75/100
When you simplify that fraction by dividing by 25, you of course get 3/4

Now on to your more complicated question:

Let's assign a variable to your repeating decimal so:

x=.1515151515

Now, let's identify the repeating digits, here they are .15

Move one set of the repeating digits in front of the decimal  so now we get:

100x=15.1515151515

Now you have two equations, they are:

x=.1515151515
100x=15.1515151515

Combine the equations into one equation:

100x-x=15.1515151515-.1515151515
99x=15
15/99
simplify and you get 5/33

The sum of two numbers is 68. The second number is 2 more than twice<br> the first.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

22 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

let

one number is x

another is 2x+2

now 2x+2+x=68

or, 3x+2=68

3x=66

or x=66/3=22

so one number is 22 and another is (22X2+2)=46
