Answer:
You use the facts about a 30, 60, 90 triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles in a triangle add up to 180.
90+30+x=180
120+x=180
x=60
This is a 30-60-90 right triangle.
The side opposite the 30 degree angle is a.
The side opposite the 90 degree angle (hypotenuse) is 2a.
The side opposite the 60 degree angle is a
We know the side opposite the 90 degree angle.
2a = 12
Divide by 2.
a=6
a is the side opposite the 30 degree angle (y)
Because we know a, we can find a
.
6
The square roots cancel, leaving 3.
6 times 3 is 18.
Therefore, the side opposite the 60 degree angle (x) is 18.
Steps to solve:
3^2 • 3^-8 • 3^0
~Apple exponent rule [ a^b * a^c = a^b+c ]
3^2-8+0
~Simplify
3^-6
~Use exponent rule [ a^-b = 1/a^b ]
1/3^6
~Simplify
1/729
Best of Luck!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
5 (-5 + n) = -3 - 6n
-25 + 5n = -3 - 6n
-25 + 11n = -3
11n = 22
n = 2
