First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2

If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12

Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).

I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Answer

Let height =h

Total surface area=2πr(r+h)

r=7cm

⇒968=2×  

7

22

​  

×7(7+h)

⇒  

44

968

​  

=7+h

⇒h+7=22

⇒h=22−7

=15cm.

Dr. Jimenez found that after applying an antibiotic to bacteria, he observed only 90% of the bacteria left in the culture dish e
USPshnik [31]
<span>If the intial count was 100,000 bacteria, after one hour 90% decrease => 10 % stands => 100,000*0.1 bacetria. After two hours 90% decrease => 10% stands => 100,000*0.1^2. After three hours, they stand 100,000 * 0.1^3. After four hours, 100,000*0.1^4 and after five hours 100,000*0.1^5 = 1 bacteria. Answer: 1 bacteria. If the inital count is different you just have to muliply the inicial count time (0.1^n) to get the number of bacteria after n hours, and if the number of hours is 5, then the factor is (0.1^5). </span>

Using the equation y = 2x + 5 , what would the input need to be for an output of -45?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

-25

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, y is your output and x is your input.

Here's your base equation: y = 2x + 5

Knowing the information above, let's plug it in:

-45 = 2x + 5

(Subtract 5 from both sides)

-50 = 2x

(Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x)

-25 = x

And there you go.
