The complete question in the attached figure

we have that
tan a=7/24    a----> III quadrant
cos b=-12/13   b----> II quadrant
sin (a+b)=?

we know that
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b<span>)
</span>
step 1
find sin b
sin²b+cos²b=1------> sin²b=1-cos²b----> 1-(144/169)---> 25/169
sin b=5/13------> is positive because b belong to the II quadrant

step 2
Find sin a and cos a
tan a=7/24
tan a=sin a /cos a-------> sin a=tan a*cos a-----> sin a=(7/24)*cos a
sin a=(7/24)*cos a------> sin²a=(49/576)*cos²a-----> equation 1
sin²a=1-cos²a------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
(49/576)*cos²a=1-cos²a---> cos²a*[1+(49/576)]=1----> cos²a*[625/576]=1
cos²a=576/625------> cos a=-24/25----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant
cos a=-24/25
sin²a=1-cos²a-----> 1-(576/625)----> sin²a=49/625
sin a=-7/25-----> is negative because a belong to III quadrant

step 3
find sin (a+b)
sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b)
sin a=-7/25
cos a=-24/25
sin b=5/13
cos b=-12/13
so
sin (a+b)=[-7/25]*[-12/13]+[-24/25]*[5/13]----> [84/325]+[-120/325]
sin (a+b)=-36/325

the answer is
sin (a+b)=-36/325

Vesna [10]
D. f(x+1)=2f(x)

f(x+1)=2(-2 2/3)=-5 1/3
f(x+1)=2(-5 1/3)=-10 2/3
f(x+1)=2(-10 2/3)=-21 1/3
f(x+1)=2(-21 1/3)=-42 2/3

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Option A is correct

it is an acute triangle. about 0.8 foot needs to be removed from the 20-foot board to create a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

She want to build a right angle frame

Then to proof it is right angle, we will apply Pythagoras theorem to the sides of the rectangle,

Since the vertical height of board is 12ft

And, the horizontal length of board is 15ft.

Then the beam that support the two beams which also form the hypotenuse is give as

(beam support)²=(horizontal board)²+(vertical board)²

x²=12²+15²

x²=144+225

x²=369

x=√369

x=19.2ft

Then the beam support is 19.2ft

To get the angle of the beam support to the horizontal

Applying trigonometric

Tanθ=opposite / adjacent

Tanθ= vertical / horizontal

Tanθ=12/15

Tanθ=0.8

θ=arctan(0.8)

θ=36.7°

This shows that it is an acute triangle.

We are told that the support beam is 20ft but this is not true because the support beam is calculated to be 19.2ft,

So, 0.8ft must be removed from the 20ft support beam to create the right angle.

Then, the best option is a

we need to cut the support beam by approx 0.8 feet to make right angle between vertical board and horizontal board.

If a car travels at a speed of 25 mi/h for t hours, then travels 45 mi/h for m hours. What does the expression 25t + 45m represe
dlinn [17]
The expression of 25t +45m shows the total number of miles driven at both speeds. In order to solve this equation you would need to know the total number of hours driven in order to multiply that by the appropriate speed in terms of miles per hour.
