Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice B, -2 sqrt(85) / 85

Discussion:

By definition,

cos(@) = length of side adjacent to angle / hypotenuse

= -2/ ( sqrt ( (-2)^2 + (9^2) ) (usin Pythag. theorem)

= -2/ sqty (4 + 81)

= -2 / (sqrt(85)

Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(85):

= (-2 / ( sqrt(85) ) * (sqrt(85)/sqrt(85) )

= -2 sqrt(85) / 85

which is choice B

Thank you,

MrB

Y is directly proportional to x 2 . If y = 112 when x = 4 find y when x = 9

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

y = 567

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2

y = kx^2 ........k is constant

112 = k * 4^2

k = 112/ 4^2

k = 7

so,

y = x^2

if x = 9

then,

y = 7 * 9^2

y = 567

Answer:

7098

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we need to identify the area of the garden entirely and subtract the area of the parallelogram getting our land of grass.

1) 65*110=7150

2) 13*4=52

3) 7150-52=7098

What is the value of the expression (-8/9) divided by (-2/3) x (-4 1/2) ?

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B) $x=-\frac{8}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\frac{8}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}x(-4\frac{1}{2})$

To start things off, lets convert any mixed numbers like $-4\frac{1}{2}$ into improper fractions. In this case $-4\frac{1}{2}$ as an improper fraction is $-\frac{9}{2}$ .

$-\frac{8}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{9}{2})$

Now let's multiply $-\frac{2}{3}x$ by $-\frac{9}{2}$ . When multiplying fractions, all you need to do is multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Your final answer should be $\frac{18}{6}x$ .
*Note: a negative times a negative is a positive, so that's why we now have an even number in front of $x$ instead of a negative number.

$-\frac{8}{9}=\frac{18}{6}x$

Now we want to isolate $x$ , so we'll have to divide $-\frac{8}{9}$ by $\frac{18}{6}$ , but dividing these two fractions seems like a pain. To make things a bit easier, let's turn our improper fraction into a whole number. To change this improper fraction into a whole number, we should ask ourselves what times $6$ is equal to $18$ ? In this case, the answer is 3, so $\frac{18}{6}$ is actually the same thing as the whole number $3$ .
*Note: In general, keeping fractions as either improper fractions or whole numbers will make doing math easier. Avoid mixed numbers like $-4\frac{1}{2}$ when trying to do math and simply change improper fractions into mixed numbers once you have your final solution.
