Complete question :

Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:

5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :

5 / 6 = 0.8333

Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;

5/6 = 0.8333

To the nearest tenth :

0.8

Find the partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression with prime quadratic factors in the denominator

SpyIntel [72]

$\dfrac{5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21}{(x-3)(x^2-2)^2}=\dfrac{a_1}{x-3}+\dfrac{a_2x+a_3}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{a_4x+a_5}{(x^2-2)^2}$
$\implies 5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=a_1(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(a_4x+a_5)(x-3)$

When $x=3$ , you're left with

$147=49a_1\implies a_1=\dfrac{147}{49}=3$

When $x=\sqrt2$ or $x=-\sqrt2$ , you're left with

$\begin{cases}17-8\sqrt2=(\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(\sqrt2-3)&\text{for }x=\sqrt2\\17+8\sqrt2=(-\sqrt2a_4+a_5)(-\sqrt2-3)\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}-5+\sqrt2=\sqrt2a_4+a_5\\-5-\sqrt2=-\sqrt2a_4+a_5\end{cases}$

Adding the two equations together gives $-10=2a_5$ , or $a_5=-5$ . Subtracting them gives $2\sqrt2=2\sqrt2a_4$ , $a_4=1$ .

Now, you have

$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3(x^2-2)^2+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)+(x-5)(x-3)$
$5x^4-7x^3-12x^2+6x+21=3x^4-11x^2-8x+27+(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$
$2x^4-7x^3-x^2+14x-6=(a_2x+a_3)(x-3)(x^2-2)$

By just examining the leading and lagging (first and last) terms that would be obtained by expanding the right side, and matching these with the terms on the left side, you would see that $a_2x^4=2x^4$ and $a_3(-3)(-2)=6a_3=-6$ . These alone tell you that you must have $a_2=2$ and $a_3=-1$ .

So the partial fraction decomposition is

$\dfrac3{x-3}+\dfrac{2x-1}{x^2-2}+\dfrac{x-5}{(x^2-2)^2}$

I need help with my trig homework

blondinia [14]

Answer:

1. sine = opposite / hypotenuse = 30 / 34 = 15 / 17

cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse = 16 / 34 = 8 / 17

tangent = opposite / adjacent = 30 / 16 = 15 / 8

2. you have to use the law of sines function

the formula for law of sines is

sin of angle A / side A = sin of angle B / side B = sine of angle C / side C

The information we know is sin of a and side a which is 90 degrees and side A length of 20

we don't know Side B and C

we know sin of angle B = 45 degrees

all we have to do is ratios

$\frac{sin(90}{20} = \frac{sin(45}{x} \\\\sin(90)*x = 20 * sin(45\\\\sin(90) * x = 14.14\\$

now divide both sides by sin(90

left side both cancel and on right side 14.14/ sin(90 = 14.14 is the answer
