Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. 17
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine rule (also see attached for reference):
AB² = BC² + AC² - 2·AC·BC cos C
2·AC·BC cos C = BC² + AC² - AB²
Given that AC = 18, AB = 12 and BC = 18, substituting these into the formula
2(18)(28) cos C = 28² + 18² - 12²
1008 cos C = 964
cos C = 964/1008
cos C = 0.9563
C = cos⁻¹ 0.9563
C = 16.99 ( = 17° rounded to nearest degree)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form.

Answer:
The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.
Step-by-step explanation:
The characteristics of the motion of the particle is derived by eliminating
in the parametric expressions. Since both expressions are based on trigonometric functions, we proceed to use the following trigonometric identity:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
By (2) and (3) in (1):

(4)
The motion of the particle describes an ellipse.
