Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side. We will then use the law of cosines to find the angle.

2√15² = 2√6² + b²

60 = 24 + b²

Subtract 24

36 = b²

b = 6

Now, that we have all three sides, we will use the law of cosines to figure out the angle.

c² = a² + b² - 2abCosC°

Substitute the values in.

6² = 2√15² + 2√6² - 2(2√15)(2√6)CosC°

36 = 60 + 24 - 2(37.947331922)CosC°

36 = 60 + 24 - 75.894663844CosC°

36 = 84 - 75.894663844CosC°

Subtract 84

-48 = -75.9CosC°

0.63241106719 = CosC°

Arccos (0.63241106719) = 50.77176844°

The largest acute angle is approximately 50.8°

The data below are the monthly average high temperatures for New York City. What is the five-number summary? 40, 40, 48, 61, 72,

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B) Sample minimum: 40, Sample maximum: 84

Q1: 45, Median: 63, Q3: 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to write the temperatures in crescent order:

40, 40, 42, 48, 54, 61, 65, 72, 76, 78, 84, 84,

The sample minimum is the lowest value = 40

The sample maximum is the highest value = 84.

Since there are 12 numbers, the sample median is the average between the 6th and 7th terms:

$M = \frac{61+65}{2}\\ M=63$

The first quartile is the average between the 3rd and 4th terms:

$Q_1 = \frac{42+48}{2}\\ Q_1=45$

The third quartile is the average between the 9th and 10th terms:

$Q_3 = \frac{76+78}{2}\\ Q_3=77$

Therefore, the answer is:

B) Sample minimum: 40, Sample maximum: 84

Q1: 45, Median: 63, Q3: 77

Find the exact value for x leaving your answer as a surd with a rational denominator where appropriate :

lesya [120]

Answer:

x = 10 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin60° = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ , then

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{x}{20}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2x = 20 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10 $\sqrt{3}$

Find the center and radius of the circle with the given equation. Then select the correct graph of the equation.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the center and the radius of this circle, you have to complete the square on it. And only for the x-terms, because the y term is squared and there is no other y term. We'll get to that in a second.

Take half the linear x-term, square it and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 10. Half of 10 is 5, and 5 squared is 25. We add 25 to both sides:

The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial inside that set of parenthesis. Simplifying the right side as well gives us:

This tells us that the center is (-5, 0). Remember when I said we would get back to the y terms? Because there was only a y-squared and no other y terms, that is the same as writing the equation as

The radius is the square root of the constant. So the radius is 6.

D is the graph you want.
