Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

You have the hypotenuse: 13

You seek the adjacent side: x

You have the angle enclosing the 2: 47 degrees.

The relationship is the Cosine

Solution

Cos(47) = opposite / hypotenuse

Cos(47) = 0.6820 From your calculator

Cos(47) = x / 13 Multiply both sides by 13

13*cos(47) = x

x=8.866

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below?(6c^2+3c/-4c+2)/(2c+1/4c-2)

algol [13]

Answer:

-3c

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$\frac{\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2}}{\frac{2c+1}{4c-2}}$

We need to simplify this expression. The rational expression in the denominator can be multiplied to numerator by taking its reciprocal as shown below:

$\frac{\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2}}{\frac{2c+1}{4c-2}} \\\\ =\frac{6c^{2}+3c}{-4c+2} \times \frac{4c-2}{2c+1}\\\\=\frac{3c(2c+1)}{-(4c-2)} \times \frac{4c-2}{2c+1}\\\\ =-3c$
