Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 12 by 4 and get 3.

If we add 3 to 12(which would be 15), we would get the total amount of younger cousins.

If you divide 15 by 5 (since there are 5x more), you will get 3.

So... there are 3 older cousins...

Now, there are 15 younger cousins and 3 older cousins.

15 + 3 = 18

Therefore, Jerry has 18 cousins altogether.

Help with this algebra question please thank you

konstantin123 [22]

The average rate of change is just change in y divided by change in x.

(f(4)-f(-1))/(4--1)

(16-8-4-1-2+4)/5

5/5

1

So the average rate of change is just 1.

Trigonometry Trigonometric Functions Given: Cos θ = (3/5), Find: Csc θ

nasty-shy [4]

The value of $\csc \theta$ is $\frac{5}{4}$

Explanation:

Given that the function $cos \ \theta$ is $cos \ \theta= \frac{3}{5}$

We need to determine the value of $\csc \theta$

The value of Opposite side of the triangle:

The formula for $cos \ \theta$ is given by

$cos \ \theta= \frac{adj}{hyp}=\frac{3}{5}$

The value of opposite side can be determined using the formula,

$opp=\sqrt{hyp^2-adj^2$

$opp=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}$

$opp=\sqrt{25-9}$

$opp=\sqrt{16}=4$

Thus, the value of opposite side is 4

The value of $\csc \theta$ :

The formula for $\csc \theta$ is given by

$csc \ \theta=\frac{1}{sin \ \theta}$

First, we shall determine the value of $sin \ \theta$

The formula for $sin \ \theta$ is given by

$sin \ \theta= \frac{opp}{hyp}$

Substituting the values, we have,

$sin \ \theta= \frac{4}{5}$

Thus, the value of $sin \ \theta$ is $\frac{4}{5}$

Substituting the values in the formula for $\csc \theta$ , we have,

$csc \ \theta=\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}$

$csc\ \theta= \frac{5}{4}$

Hence, the value of $\csc \theta$ is $\frac{5}{4}$

Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8
