Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in the question is false.

$x - 2 = 3(x - 4)$

$x - 2 = 3x - 12$

$3x - x = 12 - 2$

$2x = 10$

$x = 10 \div 2$

$x = 5$

Area of triangle= 1/2(bh)
So u do the reverse to find the base
48 x 2 which equals 96
Then u divide
96 divided by 8 = 12
Length of base equals 12

The point (16, 12) lies on the terminal side of an angle. find cos, tan, and sin

frez [133]

The terminal side means that it's 16 to the right and 12 up. Which means that the triangle made from this has the sides of 16 and 12 and the hypotenuse is 20 units long. Theta, in this case, would have 16 as it's adjacent and 12 as it's opposite.
Therefore, using the Pythagorean identities:
 $sin(\theta) = \frac{12}{20} = \boxed{\frac{3}{5}} \\\ cos(\theta) = \frac{16}{20} = \boxed{\frac{4}{5}} \\\ tan(\theta) = \frac{12}{16} = \boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$

Write each expression as a single power of 10

swat32

Answer:

It is

${10}^{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ {10}^{4}. {10}^{5} . {10}^{6} }{ {10}^{3} . {10}^{7} } = \frac{ {10}^{(4 + 5 + 6)} }{ {10}^{(3 + 7)} } \\ \\ = \frac{ {10}^{15} }{ {10}^{10} } \\ \\ = {10}^{(15 - 10)} \\ = {10}^{5}$
