Answer: x = 15.035677095729 approximately

Round this however you need to.

=================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming you want to find the value of x, which your diagram is showing to be the length of segment QR.

If so, then we'll need to find the measure of angle Q first. Using the law of sines, we get the following:

sin(Q)/q = sin(R)/r

sin(Q)/PR = sin(R)/PQ

sin(Q)/13 = sin(85)/19

sin(Q) = 13*sin(85)/19

sin(Q) = 0.6816068987

Q = arcsin(0.6816068987) ... or ... Q = 180-arcsin(0.6816068987)

Q = 42.9693397461 ... or ... Q = 137.0306602539

These values are approximate.

----------------

Now if Q = 42.9693397461 approximately, then angle P is

P = 180-Q-R

P = 180-42.9693397461-85

P = 52.0306602539

Similarly, if Q = 137.0306602539 approximately, then,

P = 180-Q-R

P = 180-137.0306602539-85

P = -42.0306602539

A negative angle is not possible, so we'll ignore Q = 137.0306602539

----------------

The only possible value of angle P is approximately P = 52.0306602539

Let's apply the law of sines again to find side p, aka segment QR

sin(P)/p = sin(R)/r

sin(P)/QR = sin(R)/PQ

sin(52.0306602539)/x = sin(85)/19

19*sin(52.0306602539) = x*sin(85)

19*sin(52.0306602539)/sin(85) = x

x = 15.035677095729

This value is approximate.

Round this value however you need to.

Round to the nearest hundredth : 3.2649
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

3.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding to the nearest hundredth means round to the nearest two decimal places.

To do this, all we need to look at is the 3rd decimal place.

Since 4 is not 5 or greater, that means we must round down, no matter how close it is to 5.

Therefore, the answer should just be 3.26

(Algebra II) Standard Form of a Quadratic Function - I'm having trouble with two questions on this quiz? Please don't just give

1.
the x value of the vertex in form
ax^2+bx+c=y
is
-b/2a
so

-2x^2+8x-18
x value of vertex is
-8/(2*-2)=-8/-4=2

plug it in to get y value
-2(2)^2+8(2)-18
-2(4)+16-18
-8-2
-10

vertex is at (2,-10)
or you could complete the square to get into y=a(x-h)^2+k, where the vertex is (h,k)
so as follows
y=(-2x^2+8x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x)-18
y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4)-18
y=-2((x-2)^2-4)-18
y=-2(x-2)^2+8-18
y=-2(x-2)^2-10
vertex is (2,-10)
