Using cosine, we can find the hypotenuse by using the formula below;

hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>Trigonometric ratios:</h3>
  • Trigonometric ratios are ratios of sides of a right angled triangle.
  • The simplest ratios are cosine, sine and tangent.

Using cosine, the hypotenuse side can be solved as follows:

cosine ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

cross multiply

hypotenuse cos ∅ = adjacent

divide both sides by cos ∅

hypotenuse cos ∅ / cos ∅ = adjacent / cos ∅

Therefore,

hypotenuse = adjacent / cos ∅

What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that contains the following points? (-2,18),(0,4),(4,24)
nydimaria [60]
Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given

1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4

2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14

3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20

4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3

Hence the equation  is y =2x²-3x+4

Solve for x. Write both solution, separated by a comma. 4x^2-x-3=0.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x = -3/4, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor left side of the equation.

(4x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

4x + 3 = 0

4x = -3

x = -3/4

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

Solve for p. -1 + 5p = -10 + 4p
sdas [7]

Answer:

p = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 1 + 5p = - 10 + 4p ( subtract 4p from both sides )

- 1 + p = - 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

p = - 9
