Answer:
x=4.0625 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.
Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:
(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2
(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)
x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9
16x=65
x=4.0625
Checking:
(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2
82.1289=82.1289
Answer:
16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the situation above, it forms into a right triangle. Therefore we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem. We will use the formula below:
c = √( a² + b²)
In the problem above, the ladder acts as the hypotenuse denoted by c. It has a length of 20 ft. While the base denoted by b is 12 ft. Therefore, we need to solve for a. We will derive the formula above.
c² = a² + b²
a² = c² - b²
a = √( c² - b² )
a = √( 20² - 12² )
a = 16
The unit is in ft.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I hope it helps.
Answer:
D. x = 0; y = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a vertical asymptote at the value of x that makes the denominator zero. That value is x=0. This is sufficient to choose the correct answer.
When x gets large, the term 1/x nears zero, so the value of y nears -6. This is the horizontal asymptote.
vertical asymptote: x = 0; horizontal asymptote: y = -6
Answer:
- sin(4a) = -24/25
- cos(4a) = 7/25
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator can tell you these values:
sin(4a) = sin(4·arctan(3)) = -0.96 = -24/25
cos(4a) = cos(4·arctan(3)) = 0.28 = 7/25
_____
Some useful trig identities are ...
sin(2a) = 2tan(a)/(1 +tan(a)^2)
cos(2a) = (1 -tan(a)^2)/(1 +tan(a)^2)
Filling in the given value for tan(a), we find ...
sin(2a) = 2(3)/(1+3^2) = 6/10 = 3/5
cos(2a) = (1 -3^2)/(1 +3^2) = -8/10 = -4/5
Now, double-angle formulas are useful:
sin(4a) = 2sin(2a)cos(2a) = 2(3/5)(-4/5) = -24/25
cos(4a) = 1 -2sin(2a)^2 = 1 -2(3/5)^2 = 7/25
The desired trig function values are sin(4a) = -24/25; cos(4a) = 7/25.
