PolarNik [594]3 years ago

Answer:

JL ≈ 32  

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle JKL  has a side of JK = 24 and we are asked to find side JL. The triangle JKL is a right angle triangle.

Let us find side the angle J first from the  triangle JKM. Angle JMN is 90°(angle on a straight line).

using the cosine ratio

cos J = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos J = 18/24

cos J = 0.75

J = cos⁻¹ 0.75

J = 41.4096221093

J ≈ 41.41°

Let us find the third angle L of the triangle JKL .Sum of angle in a triangle = 180°. Therefore,  180 - 41.41 - 90 = 48.59

Angle L = 48.59 °.

Using sine ratio

sin 48.59 ° = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 48.59 ° = 24/JL

cross multiply

JL sin 48.59 ° = 24

divide both sides by sin 48.59 °

JL = 24/sin 48.59 °

JL = 24/0.74999563751

JL = 32.0001861339

JL ≈ 32

A quadratic equation is set up in the form of ax² + bx +c
First set equation = to 0
0= x² - 5x - 24
Next plug into quadratic formula( -b Plus or minus the √b²-4ac) ÷ 2a
[10 plus or minus √(25² - 4×1×24)] ÷ 2
Solve for inner parenthesis first 
√625- 96   = √529
Now set up two equations
(10 + √529) ÷2   = x   = 16.5
(10 -  √529) ÷2   = x   = -6.5 
So therefore x = 16.5 and -6.5

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear function shown on the grid ?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Slope: -1/4; Y-Intercept: 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. The best way to do this is to transform the two given points to y=mx+b form. When given two points, the best way to find the slope will be to do y2-y1/x2-x1. In this equation it would be -2-0/2+6, which is -2/8, simplified is -0.25 or -1/4. So we have the slope, which can determine the length of the line.

Step 2: Find the Y-Intercept. Finding the Y-intercept is so much simpler when given a graph, since all you have to do is find where the line goes through the y-axis, which in this case is (0,1.5), meaning that the y-intercept is 1.5 <em>(note: the y-intercept can also be found when x=0, for example (0,9).</em>

Hope this helped, good luck!

In ΔOPQ, the measure of ∠Q=90°, OQ = 80, QP = 39, and PO = 89. What ratio represents the cosecant of ∠P?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

cos(O) = 39 / 89

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔOPQ, where

∠Q=90°

PO = 89

OQ = 39

QP = 80

cosine of ∠O?

cos(O) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos(O) = 39 / 89

Tommy has 5 jars of marbles. Each jar is 2/3 filled with marbles. If Tommy decided to combine the marbles completely fill the ja
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this answer we will then have to do 5 x 2/3

since we our multiplying by a fraction we will then have to change the fraction to a decimal.

2/3 = 0.6

this will then give us the equation of 5 x 0.6

this will give us the sum of 3 jars that had were able to be filled woth marbles.
