As soon as I read this, the words "law of cosines" popped
into my head.  I don't have a good intuitive feeling for the
law of cosines, but I went and looked it up (you probably
could have done that), and I found that it's exactly what
you need for this problem.

The "law of cosines" relates the lengths of the sides of any
triangle to the cosine of one of its angles ... just what we need,
since we know all the sides, and we want to find one of the angles.

To find angle-B, the law of cosines says

       b² = a² + c² - 2 a c cosine(B)

B  =  angle-B
b  =  the side opposite angle-B = 1.4
a, c = the other 2 sides = 1 and 1.9

                  (1.4)² = (1)² + (1.9)² - (2 x 1 x 1.9) cos(B)

                 1.96  =  (1) + (3.61)  -  (3.8) cos(B)

Add  3.8 cos(B)  from each side:

                 1.96 + 3.8 cos(B) = 4.61

Subtract  1.96  from each side:

                             3.8 cos(B) =  2.65

Divide each side by  3.8 :

                                  cos(B)  =  0.69737  (rounded)

Whipping out the
trusty calculator:
                                 B  = the angle whose cosine is 0.69737

                                      =  45.784° .

Now, for the first time, I'll take a deep breath, then hold it
while I look back at the question and see whether this is
anywhere near one of the choices ...

By gosh !  Choice 'B' is  45.8° !                    yay !
I'll bet that's it !

Factor and add steps please<br><br> 81u^6+192
attashe74 [19]
ANSWER : (9u - 8)2



STEPS:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 81 • 64 = 5184

Step-2 : Find two factors of 5184 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -144 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -72 and -72
81u2 - 72u - 72u - 64

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9u • (9u-8)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9u-8) • (9u-8)
Which is the desired factorization

Which of the x values are solutions to the inequality 4(2 – x) &gt; –2x – 3(4x + 1)? Check all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
4(2 - x) > -2x - 3(4x + 1)
8 - 4x > -2x - 12x - 3
-4x + 2x + 12x > -3 - 8
10x > -11
x > -11/10
x > -1.1

Therefore, x = 0 and x = 10 zre solutions to the inequality.

Line segment YV of rectangle YVWX measures 24 units.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: YX=13.85\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Line segment YV of rectangle YVWX measures 24 units. What is the length of line segment YX?"</h3><h3> The missing figure is attached.</h3>

Since the figure is a rectangle, you know that:

WV=YX\\\\YV=XW=24

Notice that the segment YV divides the rectangle into two equal Right triangles.

Knowing the above, you can use the following Trigonometric Identity:

tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

You can identify that:

\alpha =30\°\\\\opposite=YX\\\\adjacent=YV=24

Therefore, in order to find the length of the segment YX, you must substitute values into  tan\alpha =\frac{opposite}{adjacent} and then you must solve for YX.

You get that this is:

tan(30\°)=\frac{YX}{24}\\\\(24)(tan(30\°))=YX\\\\YX=13.85
