Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum possible value of a sine ratio is 1. This is because the formula to figuring out the sine is opposite leg/hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse of a triangle is ALWAYS the longest side of the triangle, and it's the denominator of the formula, then the value of a sine ratio will never exceed 1.  

Examples:  (Bold = hypotenuse)

3/5 = 0.6

6/8 = 0.75

If there <em>would</em> be a leg longer than the hypotenuse (which is not possible), then the answers would be greater than 1:

5/3 = 1.666666667

8/6 = 1.333333333

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

The sine ratio is basically a fraction of the opposite side over the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, this means the fraction cannot exceed 1. If it did,then that would lead to the opposite side being larger than the hypotenuse but again the hypotenuse is the longest side. The largest the sine ratio can get is 1.

If you apply the changes below to the quadratic parent function, f(x) = x2, what is the equation of the new function? Shift 3 un
Alex17521 [72]
To apply the changes to the equation of a vertical stretch of 4 and a translation of 3 units to the right, as well as the correct answer would be choice B.

The reason for this is when you apply a vertical stretch, because it changes the y-values (which causes it to vertically stretch or appear skinnier when graphed), you would multiply 4 to f(x) which would look like 4x^2.

Then, since you have a reflection over the x-axis, you must multiply a -1 to f(x) to reflect it over the x-axis which would result in -4x^2.

Finally, it also asks to shift the graph right 3 which by moving it right, you change the x values meaning you will perform f(x-3) to achieve this (subtract the value from x when you move right, and add the value to x when you move left).

This therefore results in your answer, the new graph would be
g(x)= -4(x-3)^2 or choice B.

You collect a total of $75 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 4 to 4 to 7. How much is each of
worty [1.4K]
Each smaller donation was for $20 The largest donation was $15 greater than the smaller donation. First, determine the size of each donation. Since they are in a ratio of 4:4:7, it's easiest to add the ratios together (4+4+7) = 15. Then divide the total donation by that sum (75/15) = 5. Finally, multiply 5 by each of the ratios. 5 * 4 = 20, 5 * 4 = 20, and 5 * 7 = 35 So the 2 smaller donations were $20 each, and the largest donation was for $35. The largest donation was $35 - $20 = $15 larger than one of the smaller donations.

Which choice is similar to the figure shown?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The parallelogram whose sides are 5 and 20  is similar

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelogram whose sides are 5 and 20  is similar to the given parallelogram whose sides are 2 and 8 because the figures are the same shade and corresponding sides are proportional.

 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{20}                 \frac{2}{4} \neq \frac{8}{18}

 \frac{2}{5} =\frac{2}{5}                   \frac{2}{4} \neq \frac{8}{4}
