Answer:

√41

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sides with lengths 48 and 52 units, we would use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side. Let that side be t

52² = 48² + t²

t² = 52² - 48²

= 2704 - 2304

= 400

t = √400

= 20

Considering the next triangle with sides t (20 units) and 12 units, again using the theorem

20² = 12² + y²

where y is the third side

400 = 144 + y²

y² = 400 - 144

= 256

y = √256

= 16 units

Considering the triangle with two sides given as 5 and 13 units, the third side (which is part of the 16 units calculated earlier)

13² = 5² + u²

where u is the 3rd side

169 = 25 + u²

u² = 169 - 25

u² = 144

u = √144

u = 12

The other part of the side of that triangle

= 16 - 12

= 4

Considering the smallest triangle whose sides are x, 5 and 4,

x² = 5² + 4²

= 25 + 16

= 41

x = √41

Point b has coordinates (-8,15) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2+y^2=289. If an angles is drawn in standard position

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of Point b $=(-8,15)$

b lies on the circle whose equation is $x^2+y^2=289$

$x^2+y^2=17^2$

Comparing with the general form a circle with center at the origin: $x^2+y^2=r^2$

The radius of the circle =17 which is the length of the hypotenuse of the terminal ray through point b.

For an angle drawn in standard position through point b,

x=-8 which is negative

y=15 which is positive

Therefore, the angle is in Quadrant II.

$\cos \theta=\dfrac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} \\$Adjacent=-8\\Hypotenuse=17\\\cos \theta=\dfrac{-8}{17} \\\cos \theta=-\dfrac{8}{17}$

Why is the answer D?

Sedaia [141]

Step-by-step explanation:

Inflection points are where a function changes concavity (the second derivative changes signs). At x = 4, f"(x) goes from negative to positive, so that's an inflection point. However, at x = 8, we don't know if f"(x) changes signs or not. So we can't say that that's an inflection point.

How do you divide decimals?

olga55 [171]

It's the same as normal division. All you need to do is add the decimal in. Let me show you:

2.5/2
2/2 What's 2 divided by 2? It's 1.
.5/2 What's 5 divided by 2? 2.5, right? But since it's .5 (not 5) divided by 2, the decimal goes somewhere else. Since the 5 comes just to the right of the decimal, so will the 25. You have .25.

1 + .25 = 1.25. And that's the answer! 2.5/2=1.25. See how I broke it up into pieces? It makes life easier.
