From the law of sines, we have:

\displaystyle{ \frac{\sin \angle X}{x}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{y}, 

where x and y are the sides opposite to angles X and Y, respectively.


Substituting the known values, we have:



\displaystyle{ \frac{51^{\circ}}{5}= \frac{\sin \angle Y}{2}, thus

                           \displaystyle{ \sin \angle Y=\frac{\sin 51^{\circ}}{5}\cdot2\approx \frac{0.777}{5}\cdot2=0.31.


Using a calculator, we can find that arcsin(0.31)=18 degrees, approximately.

We know that sine of (180-18)=162 degrees is also 0.31. But 162 and 51 degrees add up to more than 180 degrees.

Thus, there is only one triangle that can be formed under these conditions.

Logarithm 2. The alkalinity of a fluid (pH) can be modeled in terms of its hydrogen ion concentration (H^+,measured in moles/lit
makkiz [27]

ok. We are given the following equation:

ph=-\log (H)

Where:

\begin{gathered} P=\text{ alkalinity} \\ H=\text{ hydrogen ion concentration} \end{gathered}

Since we are asked to determine "H" we will solve for "H" in the equation. To do that we will first multiply both sides by -1:

-ph=\log (H)

Now, we will use the following property of logarithms:

\log _aB=c\rightarrow B=a^c

Applying the property and having into account that:

\log (H)=\log _{10}(H)

We get:

10^{-pH}=H

Now we substitute the given value of "pH = 4.5":

10^{-4.5}=H

Solving the operation:

0.000032=H

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration of the fluid is 0.000032

The function, f(x)=70n-400, models the profit the instructor of guitar class per month, where n is the number of students enroll
densk [106]
The instructor wants the profit to be positive, so
  f(n) > 0
  70n -400 > 0
  n - 400/70 > 0
  n > 5 5/7

The instructor must enroll at least 6 students to make a profit.
