25x^2 - 64y^2

The first thing you can do is look for a subtraction sign. The word difference implies subtraction, so you can rule out any expressions that add terms. Secondly, you can look for squares. 17x^2 - 23y^2 is a subtraction expression, but 17 and 23 are not squares. However, 25x^2 - 64x^2 is a subtraction expression and its terms are squares. 25 = 5x5, 64 = 8x8. Hope this helps!

A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.

jekas [21]

Answer:

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

$a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse^2\\a^2 + (14-a)^2=10^2\\a^2+ 14^2-28\,a+a^2=100\\2\,a^2-28\,a +96=0\\2\,(a^2-14\,a+48)=0\\2\,(a^2-6\,a-8\,a+48)=0\\2(a\,(a-6)-8\,(a-6))=0\\2\,(a-6)\,(a-8)=0$

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)

What are the graphs of y=sinx and y=cosx in the interval from -2 pi to 2 pi?

g100num [7]

I used Excel to create the tables and the graphs.

I attached both the tables and the graphs.

You should replace the numbers of the x-axis (in both graphs) by the numbers as a fraction of pi. Those numbers are also included in the table, so you should not have problems with that.
