Answer: Angle B measures 70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: One angle is given as 40 while the other two angles are yet unknown.

Remember that the sum of the interior angles in a triangle equals 180 degrees. In other words

Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180

Therefore

40 + (2x - 30) + (x + 20) = 180

40 + 2x - 30 + x + 20 = 180

By collecting like terms we have

40 - 30 + 20 + 2x + x = 180

30 + 3x = 180

Subtract 30 from both sides of the equation

3x = 150

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x = 50

Having calculated x = 50 we can now compute the value of angle B as follows;

When x = 50,

2x - 30 becomes

2(50) - 30

= 100 - 30

= 70.

Angle B measures 70 degrees

I'll write "x" instead theta.

sin x + 1 = cos(2x)

formula: cos(2x) = 1 - 2sin²x

sin x + 1 = 1 - 2sin²x

2sin²x + sin x = 0

sin x (2sin x + 1) = 0

sin x = 0 or sin x = -1/2

x1 = πk and x2 = -π/6 + 2πk and

x3 = 5π/6 + 2πk

for domain 0≤x<2π :

x1 = 0 (for k=0 in x1)

x2 = π (for k=1 in x1

x3 = 11π/6 (for k=1 in x2)

x4 = 5π/6 (for k=0 in x3).

k is an integral.

Answer:

$\displaystyle s = -\frac{1}{5}h + 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is the dependent variable, so you set your function equal to s. Then, the correlation of the graph has a $\displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}$ rate of change [slope] from the y-intercept of $\displaystyle [0, 20],$ so we choose this answer choice.
