Answer:

The variable b represents the y-intercept, where the line intersects the y-axis.

The variable m represents the rate of change [slope]. The formula for the slope is down below:

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

This is another way of saying $\frac{rise}{run}$ .

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

In the slope intercept formula

m is the slope ( $\frac{rise}{run}$ )

b is the y-intercept (the y-value of where the line intersects the y-axis)

Which statement about the net is true?

Schach [20]

The net cannot be folded to form a pyramid because the faces that are not a base are not all triangles

If you fold this net up, you will get a triangular prism, NOT A PYRAMID.

A pyramid can have ANY polygon as its base, as long as all the other rest of the shapes are triangles.

Depending on the base, the number of triangles in a net of a pyramid must match the number of sides its particular base has.

For example, if you have a square pyramid turned into a net:
The base is a square (4 sides)
There should be 4 triangles on each side.

Because a pyramid is where all the triangles must meet up at a point.

Can someone solve this?

First question:

Recall that $\cos^2x+\sin^2x=1$ and $\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$ for all $x$ . So

$\sqrt{1-\cos^2x}=\sqrt{\sin^2x}=|\sin x|$

$\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}=\sqrt{\cos^2x}=|\cos x|$

For $0$ , we expect both $\cos x>0$ and $\sin x>0$ (i.e. the sine and cosine of any angle that lies in the first quadrant must be positive). By definition of absolute value, $|x|=x$ if $x>0$ .
