This question is incomplete because it lacks the diagram of the right angled triangle. Find attached to this answer the diagram of the right angle triangle.

Answer:

d-50

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached diagram, the only way to solve for this is the use of the trigonometric function. The trigonometric function to be used is the cosine function.

From the diagram, we are given

Hypotenuse = AB = 14

Adjacent = AC = 9

The measure of angle A to the nearest degree is calculated as:

cos θ = Adjacent / Hypothenuse

cos θ = 9/14

θ = cos -¹ (9/14) or arccos(9/14)

θ = 49.994799115°

To the nearest degree = 50°

Therefore,the measure of angle A to the nearest degree = 50°

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)? y squared over 40 minus x square
N76 [4]

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the hyperbola?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Directrices at x = ±2
  • Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)

The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:

Foci = (k ± c, h)

The center is:

Center = (h,k)

And the directrix is:

Directrix, x = h ± a²/c

By comparison, we have:

k ± c = ±5

h = 0

h ± a²/c = ±2

Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2

0 ± a²/c = ±2

This gives

a²/c = 2

Multiply both sides by c

a² = 2c

k ± c = ±5 means that:

k ± c = 0 ± 5

By comparison, we have:

k = 0 and c = 5

Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c

a² = 2 * 5

a² = 10

Next, we calculate b using:

b² = c² - a²

This gives

b² = 5² - 10

Evaluate

b² = 15

The hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - k)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - h)^2}{b^2} = 1

So, we have:

\frac{(x - 0)^2}{10} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{15} = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

What is a number line for 5a + 18 &lt; -27?
Alexandra [31]

a < -9

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

                    5*a+18-(-27)<0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  5a + 45  =   5 • (a + 9)  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

2.1    Divide both sides by  5  

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2      Subtract  9  from both sides

           a < -9

chegg tell whether each sequence is arithmetic. if the sequence os arithmetic, identify the common difference and find the indic
spin [16.1K]

No, the given sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

What is Arithmetic Sequence ?

An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers with a definite pattern. If you take any number in the sequence then subtract it by the previous one, and the result is always the same or constant then it is an arithmetic sequence.

In the above question,

The sequence is 3,5/2,3/2,-3/2,...

Take the 2nd term and minus the 1st term.

Now take the 3rd term and minus the 2nd term.

We can clearly notice that the differences are not same. Hence there is no common difference and therefore it's not an arithmetic sequence
