4 0

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember this messy thing?

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The quadratic formula, as it's called, gives us the roots to any quadratic equation in standard form (ax² + bx + c = 0). The information on the type of roots is contained entirely in that bit under the square root symbol (b² - 4ac), called the discriminant. If it's non-negative, we'll have real roots, if it's negative, we'll have complex roots.

For our equation, we have a discrimant of (-3)² - 4(6)(-4) = 9 + 96 = 105, which is non-negative, so we'll have real solutions, and since quadratics are degree 2, we'll have exactly 2 real solutions.

For the triangle shown below, complete the following table.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle

With reference angle A

perpendicular (P) = 3

hypotenuse (h) = 5

So sin A = p/h = 3/5

and

With reference angle C

perpendicular (p)= 4

hypotenuse (h) = 5

Sin C = p/h = 4/5

hope it helps :)

The polar coordinates of a point are 3π 4 and 7.00 m. What are its Cartesian coordinates (in m)? (x, y) = 6.06,−3.5 m

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) $\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)$

b) $r\angle\theta = 7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar coordinates are represented as: $r\angle\theta$ , where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and ' $\theta$ ' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.

in our case:

$7\angle\dfrac{3\pi}{4}$

to covert the polar to cartesian:

$x = r\cos{\theta}$

$y = r\sin{\theta}$

we can plug in our values:

$x = 7\cos{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = -7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$y = 7\sin{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = 7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

the Cartesian coordinates are:

$\left(x,y\right)=\left(-7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)$

$\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)$

(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)

we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'

$r^2 = x^2+y^2$

$r^2 = (6.06)^2+(-3.5)^2$

$r = \sqrt{48.97} \approx 7$

the angle can be found by:

$\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{x}$

$\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{3.5}{6.06}$

$\theta = \arctan{left(\dfrac{3.5}{6.06}\right)}$

$\theta = 0.5236 \text{radians}$

to convert radians to degrees:

$\theta = 0.5236 \times \dfrac{180}{\pi} \approx 30^\circ$

writing in polar coordinates:

$r\angle\theta = 7\angle30^\circ\,\,\text{OR}\,\,7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}$

HELP WITH MY MATH PLEASE

Cloud [144]

The angels across from each other are the same. That makes the sides and the interior lines the same as well. So that means the lines cannot cross each other. They are parallel
