Using Sine.

Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin 60° = a / (6√3) But sin60° = √3/2

√3/2 = a/(6√3)

Cross multiply

2*a = 6√3 * √3

2a = 6 * √(3*3)

2a = 6*3

a = 6*3/2

a = 3*3 = 9

Option E.

Hope this helps.

Why are you allowed to move the decimal points before dividing with decimals? Explain your reasoning.

madam [21]

If you move the decimal point the same number of places in the dividend and the divisor, you are multiplying them both by the same power of 10. That does not change the quotient.

What is the fourth term in the binomial expansion of (2x – y) 7?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$(7C4) (2x)^4 (-y)^{7-4}$

And replacing we got:

$35 (2^4) x^4 (-y)^{-3}$

And then the final term would be:

$-560 x^4 y^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression:

$(2x-y)^7$

And we can use the binomial theorem given by:

$(x+y)^n =\sum_{k=0}^n (nCk) x^k y^{n-k}$

And for this case we want to find the fourth term and using the formula we have:

$(7C4) (2x)^4 (-y)^{7-4}$

And replacing we got:

$35 (2^4) x^4 (-y)^{-3}$

And then the final term would be:

$-560 x^4 y^3$

A school is selling tickets to a drama performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 adult tickets and 1 child

baherus [9]

Answer:

System of linear equations

$\left\{\begin{matrix} 3a+c=38 \\\\ 3a+2c=52 \end{matrix}\right.$

a: adult ticket price and c: child ticket price

Step-by-step explanation:

This system of equations can be used to find the price of the adult and child tickets.

We have two equations (one for each day) and two unknowns (adult ticket price and child ticket price).

Let a: adult ticket price and c: child ticket price,

we have for the first day that 3 adult tickets and 1 child ticket adds $38:

$3a+1c=38$

and for the second day we have that 2 adult tickets and 2 child tickets adds $52:

$3a+2c=52$

If we write this as a system of equations, we have:

$\left\{\begin{matrix} 3a+c=38 \\\\ 3a+2c=52 \end{matrix}\right.$
