Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
So that means the adjacent side = 15 and the hypotenuse = 17
By Pythagorean Theorem, we know that
opposite^2 = hypotenuse^2 - adjacent^2
opposite^2 = 17^2 - 15^2
opposite^2 = 289 - 225
opposite^2 = 64
opposite side = 8
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
So,
sine A = 8 / 17
Using the quadratic formula, the solutions are:
a) 
b) 
<h3>What is a quadratic function?</h3>
A quadratic function is given according to the following rule:

The solutions are:


In which:

Item a:
The coefficients are a = 2, b = -3, c = -4, hence:
Item b:
The coefficients are a = 1, b = 2, c = 2, hence:

Correct option is B, Lines 39-42 ("Normally . . . community")
The "matter of urgency," as Akira explains in lines 39–42, is that he has "an opportunity to go to America, as dentist for Seattle's Japanese community." Chie's response to Akira's marriage proposal is necessary for him to determine whether or not to take the position in Seattle.
The answers to the previous question are not well supported by the evidence in Choices A, C, and D. Choice A is wrong since Akira apologizes for disturbing Chie's peaceful evening in line 39. Lines 58–59 discuss the gravity of Akira's demand, not its immediacy, hence option C is incorrect.
Line 73 merely demonstrates that Akira's suggestion "startled" Chie, not why his request is time-sensitive, hence option D is incorrect.
Here's another question with an answer similar to this Chie and Akira:
