Answer:

cos A = 9/41

Step-by-step explanation:

cosine is a function that puts together the ADJACENT side of a triangle in a ratio with the HYPOTENUSE.

So from angle A the side length 9 is right next to A so it is the ADJACENT side. The HYPOTENUSE is the longest side ,that is the side length 41.

so cos A = ADJ/HYP

cos A = 9/41

It could be that the directions were confusing bc they said simplest radical form. Many, but not all right triangles have one or more sidesides that have a radical as part of their measure. This triangle doesn't. If you get a radical in the denominator of a ratio, be sure to rationalize so that there is no radical on the bottom.

The price for 11 ballpoint pens is $11.77. Which of the following represents the same price per pen? A. 4 pens for $4.44 B. 5 pe

Harrizon [31]

First we need to know how much each pen costs. So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11. That gives us 1.07 per pen. So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4. That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer. For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5. That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer. For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42. So we know the correct answer is option C.

How to solve the inequality

beks73 [17]

Answer:

x $\geq$ 19/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply both sides by 6 (the LCM of 6,3)

5/2 + 3-x <= 2(x-2)

2. Simplify 5/2+3-x to 11/2-x

11/2 - x<=2 (x-2)

3. Expand.

11/2-x<= 2x-4

4. Add x to both sides.

11/2<= 2x-4+x

5. Simplify 2x-4+x to 3x-4.

11/2<=3x-4

6. Add 4 to both sides.

11/2+4<=3x

7. Simplify 11/2+4 to 19/2

19/2<=3x

8. Divide both sides by 3

19/2 /3 <=x

9. Simplify 19/2 /3 to 19/2*3

19/2*3<=x

10. Simplify 2*3 to 6

19/6<=x

11. Switch sides.

x>= 19/6

Hope this helps!
