Answer:

X = 12.84°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of the angle labeled x

To do this, we use the appropriate trigonometric identity

From the diagram, we have it that the side 200 which the angle x faces is the opposite, the other side of 900 is the hypotenuse which is the longest side and the side that faces the right angle

The trigonometric identity that relates opposite to the hypotenuse is the sine

Thus;

sin x = 200/900

sin x = 2/9

sin x = 0.222

x = arc•sin (0.222)

x = 12.84 degrees

HELP ME Use the figure shown. Let point D be at ( - 4,1). Use the sides of ABDA to find the slope of the line. Ay 4 3 C(-2,2) 2
ipn [44]

Answer:

slope = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we use point B and point A to find the slope

A(-2,1)    B(-4,2)

-2 = x1

1 = y1

-4 = x2

2 = y2

the formula for slope is: y/x = y1 - y2  /  x1 - x2 = 1 -2 / -2-(-4) = -1/2

Multiply 6 by $16.50 to get the total amount = $99

now to get the percentage discount : 99-90 (which is the difference) / 99 (original price of what it should have been )

and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage discount

A(n)=3/2(-2)^(n-1). What is the 3rd term in the sequence?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n for 3

A(n) = 3/2(-2)^(n-1)

A(3) = 3/2(-2)^(3-1)

A(3) = 3/2(-2)²

A(3) = 3/2(4)

A(3) = 12/2

A(3) = 6
