Answer: 4 / 5

Explanation:

1) For a right triangle, the ratio sine is defined as:

sin(x) = opposite-leg / hypotenuse

2) x is the angle. In this case: A

3) As per the figure, the opposite leg to tha angle A measures 28

4) As per the figure, the hypotenuse measures 35

5) Calculations:

sin(A) = 28 / 35

Simplify dividing both numerator and denominator by 7 => 28/35 = 4/5

write a linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at two points. Then write a second linear equation that intersects y=x^2 at just o

Liula [17]

We know that $y = x^2$ is a parabola, concave up, with vertex in the origin $(0,0)$

So, we may use three horizontal lines for our purpose: any horizontal line above the x axis will intersect the parabola twice. The x axis itself intersects the parabola once on the vertex, while any horizontal line below the x axis won't intercept the parabola.

Here's the examples:

The horizontal line $y = 4$ intercepts the parabola twice: the system $y = x^2,\ y = 4$ is solved by $x^2=4 \implies x = \pm 2$
The horizontal line $y=0$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=0$ which yields $x^2=0\implies x=0$ which is a repeated solution
The horizontal line $y=-5$ intercepts the parabola only once: the system is $y=x^2,\ y=-5$ which yields $x^2=-5$ which is impossible, because a squared number can't be negative.
