You can use the Pythagorean Theorem since it's indicated in the problem that the triangle is right (has a 90 degree angle in it).
So what you can do is use: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + x^2 = 16^2
64 + x^2 = 256
x^2 = 192
x = 8√3
I don't think you can use tangent in this problem since no other interior angles are given.
Since there are already choices in the question, I suggest you just substitute in the values of x to each choice and check whether the corresponding value for y appears. This is also called the trial and error method in multiple choice.
The answer that represents the data in the table is C. <span>y = x^2 – 5.</span>
Answer:then the days would be on the x axis (dependant variable) and the Amount of candy would be on the y axis(independent variable=something that can be changed)
Answer:
583
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a data set is the average of the data set. It can be found by adding up all of the values and then dividing by the total number of values added. In this case, one is given the mean, and one needs to find a missing value. Since there is a missing element, add one to the total number of values in the data set. The missing element is represented by the parameter (x). Set up an equation and solve:
