Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.
Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:
Then, knowing that:
You need to substitute these values into:
Now, you can solve for "x":

Answer:
The x-coordinate of another point is zero
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope between the two given points
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
we have
substitute in the formula
Simplify
step 2
Find the x-coordinate of another point
we have
(x,-3)
we know that
If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same
so
Find the slope between the points
Remember that
substitute in the formula
the denominators must be the same
therefore
The x-coordinate of another point is zero
Answer:
(t, t -1, t)
Step-by-step explanation:
You have three unknowns but only 2 equations, so you can't really SOLVE this...you can get a solution with a variable still in it (I forget what this is called. I think it refers to infinite many solutions). Here's how it works:
Set up your matrix:
You want to change the number in position 21 (the 2 in the scond row) to a 0 so you have y and z left. Do this by multiplying the top row by -2 then adding it to the second row to get that 2 to become a 0. Multiplying in a -2 to the top row gives you:
Then add, keeping the first row the same and changing the second to reflect the addition:
The second equation is this now:
3y - 3z = -3. Solving for y gives you y = z - 1. Let's let z = t (some random real number that will make the system true. Any number will work. I'll show you at the end. Just bear with me...)
lf z = t, and if y = z - 1, then y = t - 1. So far we have that y = t - 1 and z = t. Now we solve for x:
From the first equation in the original system,
x - 2y + z = 2. Subbing in t - 1 for y and t for z:
x - 2(t - 1) + t = 2. Simplify to get
x - 2t + 2 + t = 2 and x - t = 0, and x = t. So the solution set is (t, t - 1, t). Picking a random value for t of, let's say 2, sub that in and make sure it works. If:
x - 2y + z = 2, then t - 2(t - 1) + t = 2 becomes t - 2t + 2 + t = 2, and with t = 2, 2 - 2(2) + 2 + 2 = 2. Check it: 2 - 4 + 4 = 2 and 2 = 2. You could pick any value for t and it will work.
