The technique of matrix isolation involves condensing the substance to be studied with a large excess of inert gas (usually argon or nitrogen) at low temperature to form a rigid solid (the matrix). The early development of matrix isolation spectroscopy was directed primarily to the study of unstable molecules and free radicals. The ability to stabilise reactive species by trapping them in a rigid cage, thus inhibiting intermolecular interaction, is an important feature of matrix isolation. The low temperatures (typically 4-20K) also prevent the occurrence of any process with an activation energy of more than a few kJ mol-1. Apart from the stabilisation of reactive species, matrix isolation affords a number of advantages over more conventional spectroscopic techniques. The isolation of monomelic solute molecules in an inert environment reduces intermolecular interactions, resulting in a sharpening of the solute absorption compared with other condensed phases. The effect is, of course, particularly dramatic for substances that engage in hydrogen bonding. Although the technique was developed to inhibit intermolecular interactions, it has also proved of great value in studying these interactions in molecular complexes formed in matrices at higher concentrations than those required for true isolation.
Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form:
. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly:
. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is
. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.

Answer:
{-8, -4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
Possible rational roots are positive and negative divisors of the constant 8:
{-8, -4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4, 8}
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This polynomial has no rational roots. Its two real roots are both negative and irrational.
The term "supplementary" means that the two angles add up to 180°, which means we can write an equation:
17x + x = 180
18x = 180
÷ 18
x = 10
And now you can multiply 10 by 17, because it is 17 times the angle, to get 170° and 10° as your answer.
I hope this helps!
