Answer:

A cos C = 12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

cos theta = adjacent side/ hypotenuse

cos C = BC/AC

But we don't know BC, but we can find it using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

5^2 +BC^2 = 13^2

25 + BC ^2 =169

Subtract 25 from each side

BC^2 = 169-25

BC ^2 = 144

Taking the square root of each side

BC =12

cos C = 12/13

Which interval is the solution set to 0.35x - 4.8 < 5.2 -0.9x?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: $(-\infty, 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following inequality:

$0.35x - 4.8 < 5.2 -0.9x$

You need to solve for "x" in order to find the solution.

The steps are:

1. Add $0.9x$ to both sides of the inequality:

$0.35x - 4.8+0.9x < 5.2 -0.9x+0.9x\\\\1.25x-4.8$

2. Add $4.8$ to both sides:

$1.25x-4.8+4.8$

3. Divide both sides by $1.25$ :

$\frac{1.25x}{1.25}$

Notice that "x" is less than 8. This indicates that 8 is not included in the solution and you must use parentheses.

The solution in Interval notation is:

$(-\infty, 8)$
