Answer:

UN = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

(4x - 3)² = (3x + 3)² + x² ← distribute both sides

16x² - 24x + 9 = 9x² + 18x + 9 + x² ← simplify

16x² - 24x + 9 = 10x² + 18x + 9 ( subtract 10x² + 18x + 9 from both sides )

6x² - 42x = 0 ← factor out 6x from each term

6x(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

6x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

However, x > 0 ⇒ x = 7

Hence UN = x = 7 and SU = 4x - 3 = (4 × 7) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

What rule would you allow to test weather (x,y) is on line l
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on a straight line, coordinates of the point will satisfy the equation.

Slope of a line passing through two points C(4, 5) and D(8, 10),

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{10-5}{8-4}

m = \frac{5}{4}

Equation of the line passing through C(4, 5) and slope m = \frac{5}{4}

y - y' = m(x - x')

y - 5 = \frac{5}{4}(x-4)

y = \frac{5}{4}x-5+5

y = \frac{5}{4}x

If point B(4, 0) lies on the line CD,

0 = \frac{5}{4}(4)

0 = 5

Which is not true.

Therefore, point B doesn't lie on line CD.

For which value of theta is cot (theta) undefined?
sattari [20]

The cotangent function is defined as the ratio between cosine and sine of a given angle, i.e.


\cot(x) = \frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}


Since you can't have zero at the denominator, the cotangent function is not defined when the sine is zero.


Let's look at your option:


\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(180^\circ) = 0, so the cotangent is not defined here


\sin(270^\circ) = -1, so the cotangent is defined here


\sin(450^\circ) = \sin(360^\circ+90^\circ)=\sin(90^\circ) = 1, so the cotangent is defined here
