Calculate the length of ac

Mathematics

vredina [299]2 years ago

You can use the law of cosines. Let x be the length of AC. Then

13.5^2=x^2+8.2^2-16.4x\cos81^\circ

and you can use the quadratic formula to find x. The solutions are approximately -9.518 and 12.084. Take the positive solution, since we're talking about length.

Answer:

  12.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the law of sines, we can find angle C. Then from the sum of angles, we can find angle B. The law of sines again will tell us the length AC.

  sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

  C = arcsin((c/a)sin(A)) = arcsin(8.2/13.5·sin(81°)) ≈ 36.86°

Then angle B is ...

  B = 180° -A -C = 180° -81° -36.86° = 62.14°

and side b is ...

  b/sin(B) = a/sin(A)

  b = a·sin(B)/sin(A) = 13.5·sin(62.14°)/sin(81°) ≈ 12.0835

The length of AC is about 12.1 cm.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The problem can also be solved using the law of cosines. The equation is ...

  13.5² = 8.2² +b² -2·8.2·b·cos(81°)

This is a quadratic in b. Its solution can be found using the quadratic formula or by completing the square.

  b = 8.2·cos(81°) +√(13.5² -8.2² +(8.2·cos(81°))²)

  b = 8.2·cos(81°) +√(13.5² -(8.2·sin(81°))²) . . . . . simplified a bit

The 4th and 8th term of a G.P. are 24 and 8/27 respectively. find the 1st term and common ratio
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric progression is

• a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₄ = 24, then

a₁r^{3} = 24 → (1)

Given a₈ = \frac{8}{27}, then

a₁r^{7} = \frac{8}{27} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

r^{4} = \frac{\frac{8}{27} }{24} = \frac{1}{81}

Hence r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81} } = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into (1)

a₁ × (\frac{1}{3} )³ = 24

a₁ × \frac{1}{27} = 24, hence

a₁ = 24 × 27 = 648

Can someone help me with answer C? its the last one i need
Dmitry [639]

Using the monthly payment formula, it is found that her down payment should be of $1,419.

<h3>What is the monthly payment formula?</h3>

It is given by:

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

In which:

  • P is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate.
  • n is the number of payments.

For this problem, the parameters are:

A = 250, r = 0.072, n = 72.

Hence:

r/12 = 0.072/12 = 0.006.

We solve for P to find the total amount of the monthly payments, hence:

A = P\frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n}{\left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^n - 1}

P\frac{0.006(1.006)^{72}}{(1.006)^{72}-1} = 250

0.0171452057P = 250

P = 250/0.0171452057

P = $14,581.

The total payment is of $16,000, hence her down payment should be of:

16000 - 14581 = $1,419.

According to the rational root theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x)=5x^3-7x+11
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

\pm11,\pm1,\pm\frac{11}{5},\pm\frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial function is

f(x)=5x^3-7x+11

According to the Rational Roots Theorem, the ratio of all factors of the constant term expressed over the factors of the leading coefficient.

The potential rational roots are

\pm\frac{11}{1}=\pm11

\pm\frac{1}{1}=\pm1

\pm\frac{11}{5}

\pm\frac{1}{5}

Please assist me with this problem: part 11​
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

  a² = b² -w² +2wx

Step-by-step explanation:

The algebra is pretty straightforward. Expand the expression in parentheses and add x².

  b² -(w -x)² = e² = a² -x²

  b² -(w² -2wx +x²) = a² -x² . . . . . expand the square

  b² -w² +2wx -x² = a² -x² . . . . . . distribute the minus sign

  b² -w² +2wx = a² . . . . . . . . . . . . add x²
