A. opp/adj because the the tangent is the hypotenuse so it eliminates all equations that require the hypotenuse.

Answer: a.opp/adj


Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function, along with sine and cosine, is one of the three most common trigonometric functions.

For any given angle x

\tan\ x=\frac{\sin\ x}{\cos\ x}=\frac{\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}{\frac{\text{side adjacent to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}\\\Rightarrow\tan\ x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}

thus, opp/adj  correctly describes the tangent function.

ASAP IM BEING TIME PLEASE!!

x° = 14°, y° = 14°; Use vertical and supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of the answer is attached below.

In the given image two lines are parallel with transversal.

(9x + 12)° and ∠1 are vertically opposite angles.

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

∠1 = (9x + 12)°

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

(9x + 12)° + 3x° = 180°

⇒ 12x° = 168°

⇒ x° = 14°

Sum of the adjacent angles in a line are supplementary.

3x° + (4y – 10)° = 180°

⇒ 3(14)° + 4y° – 10° = 180°

⇒ 4y° = 148°

⇒ y° = 14°

Hence, x° = 14°, y° = 14°; Use vertical and supplementary angles.

Answer:

  (c)  P(x) = x^4 +3x^3 -10x^2 -30x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial has integer coefficients, its complex or radical roots come in conjugate pairs. That is, -√10 is also a root. The four roots mean the polynomial has degree 4. That eliminates all but answer choice C.

Each root 'a' gives rise to a factor (x -a), so the factored polynomial is ...

  P(x) = (x -0)(x -(-3))(x -√10)(x -(-√10))

  P(x) = x(x +3)(x² -10) = x(x³ +3x² -10x -10)

  P(x) = x^4 +3x^3 -10x^2 -10x
