Answer:

Solution given;

In right angled triangle with respect to θ

perpendicular: opposite side: [P]=12

base:adjacent:[b]=8

hypotenuse [h]=?

cosθ=?

According to the Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

h²=12²+8²

h=\sqrt{208}

h=4\sqrt{13}

Now

we have

Cos θ=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Cos θ=\frac{8}{4\sqrt{13}}

by rationalising it

Cos θ= \frac{2\sqrt{13}}{\sqrt{13}×\sqrt{13}}

Cos θ= \frac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}

is a required answer.

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

[Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA

[Right Triangles Only] cosθ = adjacent over hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

<em>a</em> = 8

<em>b</em> = 12

<em>c</em>

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>c</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                          8² + 12² = c²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                       64 + 144 = c²
  3. Add:                                                                                                                 208 = c²
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                  √208 = c
  5. Rewrite:                                                                                                           c = √208
  6. Simplify:                                                                                                           c = 4√13

<u>Step 3: Define Pt. 2</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

Angle θ

Adjacent leg = 8

Hypotenuse = 4√13

<u>Step 4: Find</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Cosine]:                                                                   \displaystyle cos\theta = \frac{8}{4\sqrt{13}}
  2. Rationalize:                                                                                                     \displaystyle cos\theta = \frac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (look at the picture) (0, 1) and (-2, -2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-2-1}{-2-0}=\dfrac{-3}{-2}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}\to\boxed{D}

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the
emmasim [6.3K]
To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0   y = 567
at x = 1   y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
