15/17. The value (ratio) of cos A is 15/17.

The trigonometric ratios of an acute angle are, basically, the sine, the cosine and the tangent. They are defined from an acute angle, α, of a right triangle, whose elements are the hypotenuse, the leg contiguous to the angle, and the leg opposite the angle.

-The sine of the angle is the opposite leg divided by the hypotenuse.

-The cosine of the angle is the adjacent leg divided by the hypotenuse.

-The tangent of the angle is the opposite leg divided by the adjacent leg or, which is the same, the sine of the angle divided by the cosine of the angle.

cos A = adjacent leg/hypothenuse = BC/AC = 15/17

The total area of both plots of land is?

VikaD [51]

You have 2x^2 + 9x -9 and 3x^2 -2x +14

To find total area add the two polynomials together by combining the like terms.

2x^2 + 3x^2 = 5x^2

9x + -2x = 9x-2x = 7x

-9 + 14 = 5

Total area = 5x^2 + 7x + 5

reposting cuz i need this asap for the one i circled do i find the hypotenuse or leg? pls help. i don’t need the answer i just n

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem you are given the vertical and horizontal sides of the triangle. The flagpole (6.5 meters) is the up-and-down triangle side and the distance from the hook to the flagpole is the base (5.2 meters) of the triangle.

Hope this helps!

A car dealership pays you 4% commission on your first $8,000 in car sales and 8% commission on additional sales over the $8,000.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Total Commission = $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total is $9000 (in sales) -- commision is 4% on the first $8000 and 8% in the additional part over $8000 (9000-8000=1000). So 8% on $1000.

<u>Total commission</u> = 4% of 8000 + 8% of 1000

= (0.04)(8000) + (0.08)(1000)

= 400

Total Commission is $400

Could someone help me for this?

Answer:

x = - $\frac{5}{3}$ , x = $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the points of intersection equate the 2 equations , that is

7x - 15 = 10 + 12x - 6x² ( subtract 10 + 12x - 6x² from both sides )

6x² - 5x - 25 = 0 ← factor the quadratic on left side

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 6 × - 25 = - 150 and sum = - 5

the factors are - 15 and + 10

use these factors to split the x- term

6x² - 15x + 10x - 25 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(2x - 5) + 5(2x - 5) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 5) from each term

(2x - 5)(3x + 5) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x + 5 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 5 ⇒ x = - $\frac{5}{3}$

2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x = $\frac{5}{2}$
