In the default window of a graphing calculator, there is only one intersection that you see.
However, if you zoom out, you will see that they are 3 intersections to the pair of equations.
Answer:
-a(a+4)/(16 - a²)
Step-by-step explanation:
a/(a - 4) Multiply by (a + 4)/(a + 4)
= a(a + 4)/[(a – 4)(a + 4)] Multiply the denominatorator terms
= a(a + 4)/(a² - 16) Multiply by -1/(-1)
= -a(a+4)/(-a² + 16) Reorder terms in denominator
= -a(a+4)/(16 - a²)
Answer:
QT = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔQRS ~ ΔQRT
In similar triangles, corresponding angles are in same ratio.
Cross multiply,
QT * 25 = 20 * 20
If you learned about the 45-45-90 triangle (which is isosceles), then the faster way is to know that the hypotenuse (side opposite of right angle) is √2 times either one of the sides.
3√2 = (√2)x
x = 3
But if you didn't learn the 45-45-90 triangle yet, that's ok.
Recall the trigonometric ratios for right triangles: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan).
If your angle is x, then
sin(x) = opposite side / hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side
Remember the hypotenuse is the side opposite and across from the right angle (3√2 in this case).
An acronym to remember this is SohCahToa.
In this problem, the angle given is 45°, and you need to find the length of the adjacent side x. The hypotenuse is also given as 3√2.
Because we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we use cosine to relate those two sides
cos(45°) = x / (3√2)
x = (3√2)cos45°
If you plug this into your calculator (in degree mode), then
x = 3
Answer:
a=3
Step-by-step explanation:
This should be very simple, just substitute xy and y for 5 and 7 respectively, so 5a-2*7=1, or 5a-14=1, or 5a=15, if we divide both sides by 5, we get a=3
