Answer:

C. 2 square root of 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a right triangle is base times height divided by 2.

In this case, the legs are the base and the height. They gave the ratio as 2 to 3 so by using simple trial and error you can calculate that the legs are 4 and 6 inches long and you can check to make sure that the area matches, and it does!

Now using the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for right triangles we can find that the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is the square root of 52, by using factorization that will simplify to: 2 square root of 13.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21 feet below is written as -21

9 feet up is written as +9

So we have -21 + 9 = -12 or 12 feet below sea level

Which function is the same as y = 3 cosine (2 (x startfraction pi over 2 endfraction)) minus 2? y = 3 sine (2 (x startfraction p

kirza4 [7]

The function which is same as the function y = 3cos(2(x +π/2)) -2 is: Option A: y= 3sin(2(x + π/4)) - 2

<h3>How to convert sine of an angle to some angle of cosine?</h3>

We can use the fact that:

$\sin(\theta) = \cos(\pi/2 - \theta)\\\sin(\theta + \pi/2) = -\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta + \pi/2) = \sin(\theta)$

to convert the sine to cosine.

<h3>Which trigonometric functions are positive in which quadrant?</h3>

In first quadrant (0 < θ < π/2), all six trigonometric functions are positive.
In second quadrant(π/2 < θ < π), only sin and cosec are positive.
In the third quadrant (π < θ < 3π/2), only tangent and cotangent are positive.
In fourth (3π/2 < θ < 2π = 0), only cos and sec are positive.

(this all positive negative refers to the fact that if you use given angle as input to these functions, then what sign will these functions will evaluate based on in which quadrant does the given angle lies.)

Here, the given function is:

$y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2$

The options are:

$y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$
$y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2$

Checking all the options one by one:

Option 1: $y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$

$y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\y= 3\sin (2x + \pi/2) -2\\y = -3\cos(2x) -2\\y = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2\\y = 3\cos(2(x+ \pi/2)) -2$

(the last second step was the use of the fact that cos flips its sign after pi radian increment in its input)
Thus, this option is same as the given function.

Option 2: $y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2$

This option if would be true, then from option 1 and this option, we'd get:
$-3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\2(3\sin(2(x + \pi/4))) = 0\\\sin(2(x + \pi/4) = 0$
