Answer:
x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.
Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
The trig function sine, often abbreviated as "sin" (pronounced the same way as "sine"), is essentially the ratio or fraction of the opposite side and the hypotenuse. See the attached image for a reference.
The leg opposite angle B is side AC. Note how B is not present in the sequence "AC". Visually, we are as far away as possible from point B. This side is 16 units long. So AC = 16
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. Always always always. This longest side is opposite the largest angle (90 degrees). Therefore the hypotenuse is BC = 17.46
In summary so far, we have,
opposite side = AC = 16
hypotenuse BC = 17.46
Let's use those values to compute sin(B)
sin(Angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(B) = AC/BC
sin(B) = 16/17.46
sin(B) = 0.916 (this is approximate)
sin(B) = 0.92 (rounding to nearest hundredth)
This points to the final answer of choice A) 0.92
