Answer:x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Two points co-ordinates are given
A=(5,-8)
B=(5,4)
let other point be C =(x,y)
Area of triangle is given by
A=20-5y+40-8x+5y-4x
A=60-8x
and A=48 square unit
48=60-8x
x=1.5
As area is independent of y therefore at x=1.5 any value of y will give area of 48 square unit
Big ifs, question writers. These are of course approximations.
The "co" in cosine comes from complementary angles. It means since
Answer: cos 48° = 2/3
Similarly,
Answer: tan 69.5° = 8/3
The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
