<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3><h3>sqrt(3)/2, 1/2, sqrt(3)</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuse. For reference angle A, the opposite side is BC = 6sqrt(3). The hypotenuse is the longest side AB = 12

Sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(A) = BC/AB

sin(A) = 6sqrt(3)/12

sin(A) = sqrt(3)/2

---------------

Cosine is the ratio of the adjacent and hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(A) = AC/AB

cos(A) = 6/12

cos(A) = 1/2

---------------

Tangent is the ratio of the opposite and adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 6sqrt(3)/6

tan(A) = sqrt(3)

What is the best estimate for the length of a bike

castortr0y [4]

<span>The average length of a bike (including the length of both wheels) is about 68 inches.For finding the true answer we must follow the following convertion rule: 1 inch is equivalent to 0.02 yard, so 68 inches equal to 1.88 yards. Consequently, the value nearest 1.88 yards is 1.5 yards, so the answer is the choice A: 1.5 yards. </span>

Determine if the table shows a linear or an exponential function

____ [38]

Answer:

<em>The table shows an exponential function</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear vs Exponential Functions</u>

A linear function is written as:

$y=mx+b$

where m and b are constants.

If a table contains a linear function, then for each pair of ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of m must be constant.

The slope can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

An exponential function is written as:

$y=y_o.r^x$

Where r is the ratio and yo is a constant.

If a table contains an exponential function, for two ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of r must be constant.

The ratio can be calculated as:

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[x2-x1]{\frac{y2}{y1}}$

Calculate the slope for (0,4) and (1,2):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{2-4}{1-0}=-2$

Calculate the slope for (1,2) and (2,1):

$\displaystyle m=\frac{1-2}{2-1}=-1$

Since the slope is not the same, the function is not linear.

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (1,2)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[1-0]{\frac{1}{2}}$

The radical of index 1 is simply equal to its argument:

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (2,1)

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[2-0]{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}$

Testing other points we'll find the same ratio, thus the table is an exponential function

Record for Boston Marathon's wheelchair division is 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 27 seconds.

aleksley [76]

1 hr 18 minutes and 27 seconds hmmm

there are 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 18 minutes is 18/60 hrs or 0.3hr.

so 1hr 18min is 1.3 hrs

there are 60 seconds in 1 minute and 60 minutes in 1 hr, thus 60*60 seconds in 1hr, or 3600 seconds, so, 27 seconds is just 27/3600 hrs, or 0.0075 hrs.

so, 1.3 hr or 1.3000 hr for that matter plus 0.0075, is just 1.3075 hrs.

a)

so, they covered 26.2 miles in 1.3075 hrs, so the average speed is just 26.2/1.3075, or about 20.0382409177 miles/hr

b)

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
miles&hrs\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
26.2&1.3075\\
30&h
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{26.2}{30}=\cfrac{1.3075}{h}\implies h=\cfrac{1.3075\cdot 30}{26.2}$

Help please<br> solve for x

Katen [24]

Since A and B are parallel lines, the two marked angles are congruent.
Then, 2x + 12 = x + 25
We can solve for x:
x = 13
