Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side adjacent to the angle. However, we do not have the measure of the hypotenuse given to us. This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Our sides have lengths of 5 and 12.

5²+12²=c²

25+144=c²

c²=169

We square root both sides

c=13

Now, we take our hypotenuse (13) and we put it over the adjacent side to angle L, which is 5.

Therefore, the secant is B) 13/5.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Which best describes the transformation that occurs from the graph of f(x)=x^2 to g(x)=(x-2)^2+3?? ​
Leokris [45]

answer right 2, up 3

any function with the following form is a transformation from f(x) = x²

g(x) = (x – a)² + b

were a moves the function to the right when a is a positive number and to the left when its a negative number, and b moves the function up when b is positive and down when its negative.

then for a=2 positive and b=3 positive, we have

right 2, up 3

The sequence 2,6,18,54 shows the number of sit-ups Alan can do each day.
jek_recluse [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

this sequence is geometric not arithmetic

HOw we know that ??

when we get a common difference  that must Be equal  

d=6-2=4  not equal to  d=18-6=12

So it is not arithmetic

but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3    equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3    

<u>Explicit rule:</u> a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

<u>Recursive rule:</u>  a(n)= r * a(n-1)

a(n-1) ⇒ priviuse term

SO:  a(n)= 3 * a(n-1)

For example:

a(3)= 3 * 6 =18

<em>I really hope this helps <3</em>

Help!!! ASAP pleaseee!!
Alla [95]

Answer:

1. The two numbers are 4 and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) variables: x and y

2) x + y = 12, y - x = 4

3) graph using desmos or another graphing calculator

4) the solution is x = 4, y = 8, or 4 and 8. This means that 4 and 8 can be added to equal 12, and the difference between them is 4.
