Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

Find the inequality represented by the graph.

DaniilM [7]

From the graph,

$y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2$

But this one is inequality so you gotta remember this:

When y > x/2+2

- The shade/region is above the graph itself.

When y < x/2+2

- The shade/region is below the graph.

Therefore, the inequality as shown in the picture is

$y > \frac{1}{2} x + 2$

What is the trigonometric ratio for sin Z ?

Schach [20]

In all right triangles, the ratio between a leg and the hypothenuse is the sine of the angle opposite to the leg.

So, in your case, we have

$\sin(Z) = \dfrac{XY}{XZ}$

In order to find XY, we have

$XY = \sqrt{XZ^2-YZ^2} = \sqrt{1600-1024}=\sqrt{576} = 24$

So, the ratio for the sine is

$\sin(Z) = \dfrac{XY}{XZ} = \dfrac{24}{40} = \dfrac{3}{5}$

F(x)= 7.45x +33.7 at x=-4.3

weeeeeb [17]

To solve this function, all we need to do is substitute -4.3 in for wherever "x" appears and then simplify.

f(x) = 7.45x + 33.7; x = -4.3

f(-4.3) = 7.45(-4.3) + 33.7

f(-4.3) = -32.035 + 33.7

f(-4.3) = 1.665

This means that, when x = -4.3, f(x) = 1.665.

Note: It may help to remember that, in a function such as this, f(x) can be thought of as the "y" value that corresponds to the given "x" value (in fact, when writing it out with words, f(x) is the same as "function of x"). And, if you are given a value for f(x), then the opposite is true. Just substitute in the value given for f(x) and solve for x.

Hope this helps!
