Answer:

$LN = 55$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$LN = 12w + 7$

$LP = 15w - 5$

Required

Determine LN

Since LM is a bisector, then we have:

$LP = LN$ (See attachment for illustration)

$15w - 5 = 12w + 7$

Collect Like Terms

$15w - 12w = 5 +7$

$3w = 12$

Solve for w

$w = 12/3$

$w = 4$

LN is calculated as thus:

$LN = 12w + 7$

Substitute 4 for w

$LN = 12 * 4 + 7$

$LN = 48 + 7$

$LN = 55$

Solve (x+y) if x=-1/2 and y=-3

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

$(x+y)$

For x=-1/2 and y=-3

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the expression above

$x+y=(-\frac{1}{2})+(-3)$

Remember that

$(+1)(-1)=-1$

$x+y=-\frac{1}{2}-3=\frac{-1-6}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{7}{2}=-\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=-3\frac{1}{2}$

How do you do this trig problem.

loris [4]

Consider a right triangle in which one of the angles $\theta$ satisfies

$\sin\theta=\dfrac35\implies\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$

That is, the side opposite $\theta$ occurs in a ratio of 3 to 5 with the hypotenuse. The side adjacent to $\theta$ then occurs in a ratio of 4 to 5 with the hypotenuse. In other words,

$\cos\theta=\dfrac45$

because

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=\dfrac9{25}+\dfrac{16}{25}=1$

Then in this triangle,

$\cot\theta=\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{\frac45}{\frac35}=\dfrac43$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the exponents:

2*(3^6*3*-5)

2*((3*3*3*3*3*3)*(1/3*3*3*3*3))

2*(729*0.00411522633)

Then solve from there:

2*2.99999999457

5.99999998914

Since there is only whole numbers and a fraction present, im assuming you have to round:

5.99999998914

6 is your answer

Hope this helps!
