Answer:
An exponent
Step-by-step explanation: So if we have 83, we want to multiply three 8s, or 8 * 8 * 8. A root is basically the opposite. We're trying to find the number that we multiply by itself a certain number of times to get the number under the radical sign.
I believe if Socratic is right the answer is -x+4y=8
So there is a total of 6 ears, 12 paws, and 3 tails in the room.
Answer: Choice C
7 divided by cosec 50 degrees
=====================================
Explanation:
Abbreviations:
sec = secant
cot = cotangent
cosec = cosecant (csc is also a widely used abbreviation)
-----------------
Let the horizontal leg be x
This leg is opposite the angle 50 degrees. The hypotenuse is 7
Opposite = x
Hypotenuse = 7
We'll either use the sine rule or the cosecant (csc) rule
sine = opposite/hypotenuse
cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
Since "sine" is nowhere to be found in the answer choices, we'll use the cosecant rule
-----------
cosecant = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(angle) = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(50) = 7/x
x*csc(50) = 7
x = 7/csc(50)
This is why the answer is choice C
