Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = x
2/5 (x - 1)
<
3/5 (x + 1)
2/5 (x - 1 ) < 3/5(x+ 1) Multiply both sides by 5
2(x - 1) < 3 ( x + 1) Remove the brackets.
2x - 2 < 3x + 3 Add 2 to both sides
2x < 3x + 5 Subtract 3x from both sides
2x - 3x < 5
- x < 5 Here's the tricky part . Divide by - 1
x > -5 Notice what happened. The < become > That happens because you have divided (or multiplied) by a negative number.
The original question 2/5 (x - 1 ) < 3/5(x+ 1) was graphed. The red part is every value that satisfies the inequality. You should be using a y and x together to find a more suitable answer using this program. But if you just look along the x axis, you will see that the < has been turned around.

Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
the sine of an angle =
(a)
here the opposite is 12 and the hypotenuse is 13
12 is the side opposite ∠DEF ← required angle
(b)
the tangent of an angle =
here the opposite is 5 and the adjacent is 12
∠DFE ← required angle
(2)
to calculate AB use Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
AB² = 2² + 3² = 4 + 9 = 13, hence
AB = ≈ 3.6 ( to nearest tenth )
tanB = ⇒ B = 33.7°
tanA = ⇒ A = 56.3°
