Answer:

7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

=x/x+5.

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

A rational number is a fraction

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we must use the unit circle. At the angle \frac{\pi }{6} the coordinate pair is (\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}, \frac{1}{2}) and the hypotenuse is 1

Now that we know these we can start using the trig functions

sin = y

cos = x

tan = \frac{y}{x}

And the other functions would be the reciprocal of these

csc = \frac{1}{y}

sec = \frac{1}{x}

cot = \frac{x}{y}

This would mean that

sinx = \frac{1}{2}

cosx =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

tanx =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } or \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} if you're supposed to rationalize your denominators

cscx = 2

secx = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} } or \frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}

cot = \sqrt{3}

Two cones have a radius of 2 cm. The height of one cone is 8 cm. The other cone is 1/4 of that height. Which of these statements
marta [7]
The wrong statement: The volume or the smaller cone cannot be determined because its height is unknown.

We already know that the larger cone has a height of 8 cm and that the smaller cone is just 1/4 of 8 cm.

8×1/4 = 2 cm.

You can still find its volume by using the formula 1/3πr^2.

For what interval(s) is the function negative?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The negative regions of a function are those intervals where the function is below the x-axis. It is where the y-values are negative (not zero). y-values that are on the x-axis are neither positive nor negative. The x-axis is where y = 0.
