<h3>Answer: 22 degrees</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

Use the law of cosines to isolate angle A

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c*cos(A)

3^2 = 5^2 + 7^2 - 2*5*7*cos(A) ... plug in a=3, b=5, c=7

9 = 25 + 49 - 70*cos(A)

9 = 74 - 70*cos(A)

74 - 70*cos(A) = 9

-70*cos(A) = 9 - 74 .... subtract 74 from both sides

-70*cos(A) = -65

cos(A) = -65/(-70) ... divide both sides by 70

cos(A) = 13/14

A = arccos(13/14) .... apply the arcosine function to both sides

A = 21.7867892982619

This rounds to 22 degrees

Does the table represent an exponential function? Explain.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

No, because as the x-values are increasing by a constant amount, the y-values are not being multiplied by a constant amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a set of ordered pairs of the form (x, y)

If a function is exponential then the ratio between the consecutive values of y, is always equal to a constant.

This means that:

\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{y_4}{y_3}=by1y2=y2y3=y3y4=b

This is: y_2=by_1y2=by1

Now we have this set of points {(-1, -5), (0, -3), (1, -1), (2, 1)}

Observe that:

\begin{gathered}\frac{y_2}{y_1}=\frac{-3}{-5}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{y_3}{y_2}=\frac{-1}{-3}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{5}\neq \frac{1}{3}\end{gathered}y1y2=−5−3=53y2y3=−3−1=3153=31

Then the values of y are not multiplied by a constant amount "b"
