How to find length in quadratic equation of right angle triangle?

1 answer:

8 0

If you have an equation you are factoring to find the length of a leg of a right triangle, factor it to solve for x. If by some chance, one of those x-values is negative we can count that one out since length will never be negative. If you have 2 positive solutions, you may have to use some math to see if both of the lengths work according to pythagorean's theorem or if only one works. It depends upon what type of information you are given other than the quadratic.

Which of the following is a logarithmic function?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Only a function that actually shows the word "ln" or "log" or "log to the base b" is a log function.

Taking a closer look at #3: y = log 0.25^x, we see that this can be simplified by writing the base (10) as follows: 10 10

and then using y as the exponent of the first 10 and log 0.25^x as the exponent of the second 10:

10^y = 10^(log 0.25^x)

You were not asked to do this, but this discussion may be of interest and help to you down the line.

10^y = 0.25^x

Answer:

This is an percentage change question, by any chance you have a maths textbook, look for units that contains the topic: Percentage Change. Now, let's get solving! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you must multiply 4.5% with 56. That is: shipping fees x purchase price

That gives ($) 2.52 (this is your answer)

No addition/totaling needed as the question asked ONLY for the shipping fees.

Sin97°cos43°+cos97°sin43°

kirza4 [7]

I added a screenshot with the head of the question

Answer:
sin (140°)

Explanation:
Angle addition formulas are used to express the trigonometric function in terms of the sum/difference between two angles α and β
These rules are shown in the attached image.

Now, the given expression is::
sin97°cos43°+cos97°sin43°We have:
α = 97°
β = 43°

Comparing the given formula with the general formulas in the image, we would find that the given formula represents the sum of the sin of two angles.

Therefore:
sin97°cos43°+cos97°sin43°
= sin (97°+43°)
= sin (140°)

Hope this helps :)

Sam wants to buy 8 pencils and 6 pens, which cost a total of $8.50. He realizes he doesn't have enough cash and instead takes on

Brums [2.3K]

Let x be the price of each pen and y be the price of each pencil. From the given, the equations that are described are,
6x + 8y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5
Solving for x and y simultaneously gives an answer of x = 0.75 and y = 0.5.

Thus, each pen costs $0.75 and each pencil costs $0.50.
