Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: List out all of the formulas for the trigonometric functions

sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

Step 2: Find the value of h

cos(68) = 13/unknown is FALSE

cot(68) = 13/h is FALSE

sin(68) = h/unknown is FALSE

tan(68) = h/13 is TRUE

Answer: The correct option would be D

When shopping for a personal loan, why is it important to limit the amount of loan applications you submit?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The best answer is actually, When shopping for a loan, do not submit too many applications. Each time you submit an application, the lender will do a hard inquiry on your credit score. Having too many hard inquiries at one time will negatively affect your credit and raise your interest rate.

this is 100% correct

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8y^6+ 144y^5+ 640y^4 and 2y^4 + 40y^3 + 200y^2.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

LCM = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Making factors of $8y^{6}+ 144y^{5}+ 640y^{4}$

Taking $8y^{4}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 18y+ 80)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 10y + 8y + 80)\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y (y+ 10) + 8(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y+ 10)(y + 8))\\\Rightarrow \underline{2y^{2}} \times 4y^{2} \underline{(y+ 10)}(y + 8)) ..... (1)$

Now, Making factors of $2y^{4} + 40y^{3} + 200y^{2}$

Taking $2y^{2}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 20y+ 100)$

Using factorization method:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 10y+ 10y+ 100)\\\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y (y+ 10) + 10(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow \underline {2y^{2} (y+ 10)}(y + 10) ............ (2)$

The underlined parts show the Highest Common Factor(HCF).

i.e. HCF is $2y^{2} (y+ 10)$ .

We know the relation between LCM, HCF of the two numbers 'p' , 'q' and the numbers themselves as:

$HCF \times LCM = p \times q$

Using equations (1) and (2): $\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y+ 10) \times LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times 2y^{2} (y+ 10)(y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times (y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Hence, LCM = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

There is one very important exception to the rule that multiplying or dividing an inequality is the same as multiplying or dividing an equation. Whenever you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

a kittens heartbeat can be as fast as 240 beats per minute . to find the number of times a kittens heart beats in 30 seconds , A

Alina [70]

I do not agree. If you divide 240 by 30, it would be 8 heartbeats, which is absurd. It's impossible for something to survive with 8 heartbeats per 30 seconds.
In order to get the CORRECT answer, divide 240 by 60 seconds.
This would give you 4 heartbeats per second.
Then, multiply it by 30 seconds, which would give you 120 heartbeats.

CORRECT answer: 120
