2xy=-8

You can find a value of x and a value for y that would make that true, so YES it is a function.
Example:
2(2)(-2) = -8

Yes 2,920 is the correct answer because if you divide 2,920 divided by 8 then you will get 365 days.

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-3) and is perpendicular to the line y=-2x-3

Alina [70]

Answer:

y = 1/2 x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of perpendicular line is 1/2

y +3 = 1/2 (x -2)

y + 3 = 1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x - 4

find the missing angle and side measures of the triangle. The triangle has one angle that measures 90 degrees, and the other two

Tamiku [17]

Since we know that the measure of one of the angles is 90°, we know that we have a right triangle with legs 1 and $\sqrt{3}$ . Now lets apply the Pythagorean theorem: $hypotenuse= \sqrt{leg^{2}+leg^{2} }$ , to find our hypotenuse:
$h= \sqrt{1^{2}+ \sqrt{3}^{2} }$
$h= \sqrt{1+3}$
$h= \sqrt{4}$
$h=2$

Now that we know that the measure of the hypotenuse is 2, lets use the trig function sine to find one of the angles that we are going to call $x$ .
Remember that $sin(x)= \frac{opposite.side}{hypotenuse}$ , so:
$sin(x)= \frac{1}{2}$
$x=sin^{-1} ( \frac{1}{2} )$
$x=30$
Now that we have two angles, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°; lets use that to find our final angle $y$ :
$y=180-(90+30)$
$y=180-120$
$y=60$

We can conclude that the measure of the hypotenuse of our triangle is 2, and the measure of its missing angles are 30° and 60° respectively.
