Answer:

X = -1/2 or 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When the square root of a number is found, this usually results in 2 solutions which may be equal in size but opposite in signs.

As such,

X^2=1 to find x find the root of both sides

X = √1

X = -1 or 1

Going by this

4x^2=1

Divide both sides by 4

X^2=1 /4

taking the square root of both sides

X = √1/4

The root of 1 is -1 or 1 while that of 4 is -2 or 2 hence,

X = -1/2 or 1/2

Given: KL ║ NM , LM = 45, m∠M = 50° KN ⊥ NM , NL ⊥ LM Find: KN and KL

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08\\ \\KN=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

KL ║ NM ,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

KN ⊥ NM

NL ⊥ LM

Find: KN and KL

1. Consider triangle NLM. This is a right triangle, because NL ⊥ LM. In this triangle,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

So,

$\tan \angle M=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}=\dfrac{NL}{LM}=\dfrac{NL}{45}\\ \\NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

Also

$m\angle LNM=90^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$ (angles LNM and M are complementary).

2. Consider triangle NKL. This is a right triangle, because KN ⊥ NM . In this triangle,

$NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

$m\angle KLN=m\angle LNM=40^{\circ}$ (alternate interior angles)

$m\angle KNL=90^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ (angles KNL and KLN are complementary).

So,

$\sin \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KL}{LN}=\dfrac{KL}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08$

and

$\cos \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KN}{LN}=\dfrac{KN}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KN=45\tan 50^{\circ}\cos 50^{\circ}=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

What is the slope in the table below

eduard

Answer:

<h2>The table does not show a linear function</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{From the table we have:}\\\\(5,\ 24),\ (10,\ 21),\ (15,\ 17),\ (20,\ 13)\\\\\text{Check}\\\\\dfrac{21-24}{10-5}=\dfrac{-3}{5}=-\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\\dfrac{17-21}{15-10}=\dfrac{-4}{5}=-\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{5}\neq-\dfrac{4}{5}$
