Cosine is $\frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}$ .

Apply the equation:

$sin(t) = \frac{3}{5} \\3^2 + b^2 = 5^2\\b^2 = 5^2 - 3^2\\\\\sqrt{b^2} = \sqrt{5^2}- \sqrt{3^2}\\\\\\b = 5 - 3 \\\\b = 2$

B is the adjacent side so

cosine is:

Cos(t) = 5/2

Have a great day,

How does understanding place value help you to subtract across zeros?

Oh it helps because a zero could count as a number when you write it down but it doesn't seem that way when u say it

The level of CO2 emissions, f(x), in metric tons, from the town of Fairfax x years after they started recording is shown in the

Temka [501]

1) The average increase in the level of CO2 emissions per year from years 2 to 4 is:
Average=[f(4)-f(2)]/(4-2)=(29,172.15-26,460)/2=2,712.15/2=1,356.075 metric tons. The first is false.

2) The average increase in the level of CO2 emissions per year from years 6 to 8 is:
Average=[f(8)-f(6)]/(8-6)=(35,458.93-32,162.29)/2=3,296.64/2=1,648.32 metric tons. The second is false.

3) The average increase in the level of CO2 emissions per year from years 4 to 6 is:
Average=[f(6)-f(4)]/(6-4)=(32,162.29-29,172.15)/2=2,990.14/2=1,495.07 metric tons. The third is false.

4) The average increase in the level of CO2 emissions per year from years 8 to 10 is:
Average=[f(10)-f(8)]/(10-8)=(39,093.47-35,458.93)/2=3,634.54/2=1,817.27 metric tons. The fourth is true.

Answer: Fourth option: The average increase in the level of CO2 emissions per year from years 8 to 10 is 1,817.27 metric tons.

There are 12 teams in the Jayhook Hockey League. Each team plays every other team twice per season, once at home and once away f

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Each team played 22 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 teams in the league, so each team has 11 rival teams. Since each team will play against a rival team twice, that means that each team will need to play 11 x 2 = 22 games per season. Of these 22 games, 11 games will be played at home while 11 games will be played away from home.

We can calculate this by using the following formula:

Total number of games played by each team = (n - 1) x 2, where n is the total number of teams in a league.
