Answer:

0.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle MNP, MP = 4 cm, m∠N = 90°, m∠P = 21°

By the sine definition,

\sin \angle P=\dfrac{\text{Opposite leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MN}{MP}\\ \\MN=MP\sin \angle P\\ \\MN=4\sin 21^{\circ}\approx 1.43\ cm

Now, consider right triangle HMN (it is right because NH is an altitude). By the cosine definition,

\cos \angle M=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MH}{MN}\\ \\MH=MN\cos \angle M

In the right triangle, two acute angles are always complementary, so

m\angle M=90^{\circ}-m\angle P=90^{\circ}-21^{\circ}=69^{\circ}

Thus,

MH=1.43\cos 69^{\circ}\approx 0.51\ cm

Answer:

A = -12

B = -8

C = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-8

x = -2

y=2(-2)-8=-4-8=-12

A = -12

x = 0

y = 2 (0)-8=-8

B = -8

x = 2

y = 2 (2) -8 = 4-8 = -4

C = -4

Hope this helps

12a)
5x + 45 + 3x - 25 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
  x = 20

12b)
2x - 5 = 2(20) - 5 = 40 - 5 = 35
3x - 25 = 3(20) - 25 = 60 - 25 = 35

y = 180 - (35+35)
y = 180 - 70
y = 110

Can someone please answer this, ill give you brainliest Would be very appreciated.

Explanation:

f(x) = (x-4)(x+2)

1) For x-intercept, y will be 0

  • (x-4)(x+2) = 0
  • (x-4) =0, (x+2) = 0
  • x = 4, x = -2

<u />

<u>x-intercept</u>: (4, 0), (-2, 0)

2) For vertex: x = -b/2a where ax² + bx + c

<u>Quadratic function</u>:

  • (x-4)(x+2)
  • x² +2x-4x -8
  • x² -2x -8

<u>vertex</u>:

  • x = -(-2)/2(1)
  • x = 1

y: (x-4)(x+2) = (1-4)(1+2) = -9

ordered pair of vertex: (1, -9)

3) For y-intercept, x will be 0

  • (x-4)(x+2)
  • (0-4)(0+2)
  • -8

<u>y-intercept</u>: (0, -8)
