To remember the ratios, use the mnemonic sohcahtoa.
S = O/H
C = A/H
T = O/A
In this case, we want S, sin. The side opposite angle X would be 24. The hypotenuse is 26, so the ratio is 24/26. <span />
F(x)=x2,
g(x)=f(3x)=(3x)2=9x2
Now to graph y=9x2. This is a parabola (U-shape), vertex at (0, 0), symmetric aroung y axis. When x=1/3 or -1/3, then y=1.
So, try to draw the graph.
Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6
