8 0

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

Find the equation of the linear function 'g' going through (20,5) and (-5,-8). Use 'u' for your input variable.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form, which will be in this case:

g(u) = mu + b, where m is the slope, b is the y- intercept

Find the slope:

$m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$
$m=(-8-5)/(-5-20)=(-13)/(-25)=13/25$

Find the value of the y-intercept:

$5=1/25*20+b$
$b=5-4/5=21/5$

The equation is:

$g(u)=\frac{13}{25} u+\frac{21}{5}$

vesna_86 [32]

12 * 3 = 36, 1/2 * 3 = 1 1/2
36 + 1 1/2 = $37.50 for about 13 kilograms of sand.

Solve

NISA [10]

Answer:

$r = 0.01$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find r we have to square both sides of the equation

$0.1 = \sqrt{r} \\ {0.1}^{2} = { \sqrt{r} }^{2}$

The *square root* sign cancels out the *squared* sign therefore:

${0.1}^{2} = r \\ 0.01 = r$
