We have been given that \text{sin}(A)=\frac{12}{13} and angle A is in quadrant 1. We are asked to find the exact value of \text{cot}(A) in simplest radical form.

We know that sine relates opposite side of right triangle with hypotenuse.

\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

This means that opposite side is 12 units and hypotenuse is 13 units.

We know that cotangent relates adjacent side of right triangle with adjacent side.

\text{cot}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Opposite}}

Now we will find adjacent side using Pythagoras theorem as:

\text{Adjacent}^2=\text{Hypotenuse}^2-\text{Oppoiste}^2

\text{Adjacent}^2=13^2-12^2

\text{Adjacent}^2=169-144

\text{Adjacent}^2=25

Let us take positive square root on both sides:

\sqrt{\text{Adjacent}^2}=\sqrt{25}  

\text{Adjacent}=5

Therefore, adjacent side of angle A is 5 units.

\text{cot}(A)=\frac{5}{12}

Therefore, the exact value of cot A is \frac{5}{12}.

Combine like terms.<br> (x+6)(x+6)
ycow [4]

Answer:

(x+6)(x+6)

(x+6)^2

Always remember this identity

(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab

So, Now take x=a , 6 =b

Substitute above values

x^2 + 36 +2(x)(6)

=x^2 +36 +12x

=x(x+12) +36

Which polynomials are in standard form?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

A. x^2 + 3x + 2

D. 3x^4 + 4x^3 - 3x^2 - 1

E. 3t^3 + 3t^2 + 2t

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is where the equation is set up so that the exponents decrease from left to right, and where you put a number with no variable or exponent last.
