Answer: The numbers are -3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the first number and y be the second number

then according to given statements the linear equations will be:

"Four times a number minus twice another number is -16"

"The sum of the two numbers is -1"

From equation 2:

Putting y = -x-1 in equation 1

Subtracting 2 from both sides

Dividing both sides by 6

Putting x = -3 in equation 2:

Hence,

The numbers are -3 and 2

State one form of the Law of Cosines and provide a trick for writing the other two forms and explain when Law of Cosines should

Yuki888 [10]

Solving for Angles

$\displaystyle \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} = cos∠C \\ \frac{a^2 - b^2 + c^2}{2ac} = cos∠B \\ \frac{-a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{2bc} = cos∠A$

* Do not forget to use the inverse function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

Solving for Edges

$\displaystyle b^2 + a^2 - 2ba\:cos∠C = c^2 \\ c^2 + a^2 - 2ca\:cos∠B = b^2 \\ c^2 + b^2 - 2cb\:cos∠A = a^2$

You would use this law under two conditions:

One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the third edge
ALL three edges defined

* Just make sure to use the inverse function towards the end, or elce you will throw your answer off!

_____________________________________________

Now, JUST IN CASE, you would use the Law of Sines under three conditions:

Two angles and one edge defined, while trying to solve for the second edge
One angle and two edges defined, while trying to solve for the second angle
ALL three angles defined [of which does not occur very often, but it all refers back to the first bullet]

* I HIGHLY suggest you keep note of all of this significant information. You will need it going into the future.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.

In which figure is DE BC

stepan [7]

Answer:

Given: DB = 7.2 cm, AE = 1.8 cm and EC = 5.4 cm and DE || BC.

[by basic proportionality theorem which states that if a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in the same.

7.2

5.4

1.8

AD=

5.4

7.2×1.8

Can someone help me with this question

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For any prism or cylinder for that matter, you can find the volume by multiplying the area of the base times the height. So this problem just becomes simple algebra.

B * h = V

25 * h = 80

h = 80/25

h = 3.2

If you don't get why it's the area of the base let me know and I can try to explain it.
