How do similar right triangles lead to the definitions of the trigonometric ratios?

The ratio of two sides of one right triangle is the same of the corresponding sides of any its similar triangles.

Call a, b, c the sides of a right triangle and A, B, C the sides of any of its similar triangles.

Then a/b  = A/B, which means that this ratio is a constant.

The same for a/c = A/C, and b/c = B/C.

Even, the same is true for the inverses: b/a = B/A; c/b = C/B, and d/a = C/A.

Then, you can define a function for every one of these ratios. Those functions are the trigonometric functions.

If you triple 4 and subtract to each day how many days until you have zero
Mrrafil [7]
Do you mean subtract two each day? If so...
4x3=12 and 12 divided by 2 is 6 so it would take six days to reach zero
or
you could manually subtract two from 6 each days as in 12-2=10 (1 day), 10-2=8 (2 days), and so on...

How many "words" can be written using exactly five A's and no more than three B's (and no other letters)?
kakasveta [241]

This is a problem of Permutations. We have 3 cases depending on the number of B's. Since no more than three B's can be used we can use either one, two or three B's at a time.

Case 1: Five A's and One B

Total number of letters = 6

Total number of words possible = \frac{6!}{5!*1!}=6

Case 2: Five A's and Two B's

Total number of letters = 7

Total number of words possible = \frac{7!}{5!*2!}=21

Case 3: Five A's and Three B's

Total number of letters = 8

Total number of words possible = \frac{8!}{5!*3!}=56

Total number of possible words will be the sum of all three cases.

Therefore, the total number of words that can be written using exactly five A's and no more than three B's (and no other letters) are 6 + 21 + 56 = 83

Answer:

K = 2/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality can be found using any two given pair of values.

Constant of proportionality = y/x

Therefore, using (1, 2) , we have

Constant of proportionality = y/x = 2/1 = 2

Or it can be written as: k = ²/1 = 2
