Answer: X= 6 or X=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we don't know the length of the hypo, but do have measures of both legs of this right triangle: x and 40 yd.
Use the tangent function to determine the value of x:
x
--------- = tan 62 degrees. Solving for x: x = (40 yd)(tan 62 deg).
40 yd can you evaluate this yourself?
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
A = (0,0)
B = (1,-1)
Slope = (-1-0)/(1-0) = -1/1 = -1
First, we determine that the given equation in this item
is a linear equation. Thus, it should be a straight line. With this, we are
left with the third and fourth choice. Then, we substitute the given data
points to the equation and see if the points satisfy the given.
Choice 3:
<span> (1,3) :
(-5)(1) + (2)(3) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (3,8) :
(-5)(3) + 2(8) = 1 TRUE</span>
<span> (-3,-7)
: (-5)(-3) + (2)(-7) = 1 TRUE</span>
Choice 4:
<span> (4,-3) :
(-5)(4) + (2)(-3) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-1,2) : (-5)(-1) + (2)(2) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span> (-4,5) : (-5)(-4) + (2)(5) ≠ 1 FALSE</span>
<span>Thus, the answer is the third choice.</span>
Answer:
By making ‘a’ the subject, I believe you mean isolate the variable ‘a’.
1/a - 1/b = 1/c : add 1/b to both sides
1/a = 1/b + 1/c : combine the unlike fractions by finding a common denominator, bc is the common denominator
1/a = (1/b)(c/c) + (1/c)(b/b) : simplify
1/a = (c/bc) + (b/bc) : add numerators only, because the denominators match
1/a = (c + b)/bc : multiply both sides by a
1 = (a)[(c + b)/bc] : multiply both sides by the reciprocal of [(c + b)/bc] which is [bc/(b + c)]
1[bc/(b + c)] = a
a = bc/(b + c)
This will not work if c = -b, because then you would be dividing by zero.
Example: 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6 a = 2, b = 3 c= 6
a = bc/(b + c) => 2 = (3 x 6)/(3 + 6) => 2 = 18/9 => 2 = 2.
