The sum of two numbers
 x + y = 21
x = smaller number
y = larger number

Larger Number = y = (2x -6)
Substitute  (2x - 6) for y
x + y = 21
x + (2x - 6) = 21
3x - 6 = 21
3x = 21 + 6
3x = 27
3x / 3 = 27 / 3
x =  9
Smaller number = x = 9
Find the larger number by inserting 9 into (2x - 6)
(2x - 6)
(2(9) - 6)
18 - 6
12

So 
x = 9
y =12

Check our answer by inserting x = 9 and y = 12 into  x + y = 21
x + y =21
9 + 12 = 21
21 = 21 
So since we have 21 = 21 we know our answer is correct.

Given that the sec A = 13/5 and A is in QIV, determine exact value for the sin A.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is in Quadrant IV then the "opposite side" is negative and the "adjacent side" is positive.  Since sec A = hyp / adj = 13 / 5 and since opp^2 + adj^2 must add up to hyp^2,   Therefore y = √(hyp^2 - adj^2), or

y = -√(13^2 - 25) = -√144 = 12.

The exact value of sin A is opp/hyp = -12/13

I don't really get it plz help tell if it's a regular or not regular polygon
ladessa [460]
So the definition of a regular polygon is that the sides are all equal, the interior angles are all equal, and the exterior angles are all equal.
Notice how with #s 3 and 4, the angles are all shown as equal, as well as their sides. However, #s 5 and 6 have different angles and sides, respectively.
Therefore 3 and 4 are regular, but 5 and 6 are irregular (not regular).
