Answer:

  12.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig functions relate the sides and angles in a right triangle. Here, we're given an angle and an adjacent side, and we're asked to find the hypotenuse. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(50°) = DE/CD = (8.1 ft)/CD

Solving for CD, we find ...

  CD = (8.1 ft)/cos(50°) ≈ 12.601 ft

The length of CD is about 12.6 feet.

Which quadratic equation has roots –2 and 1/5?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The equation 5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0 has roots –2 and 1/5.

Hence, the option 'a' is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking the equation

5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0

putting x = -2 in the equation

5\left(-2\right)^2\:+\:9\left(-2\right)-\:2\:=\:0\:

2^2\cdot \:\:5-9\cdot \:\:2-2=0

2^2\cdot \:5-18-2=0

20-20=0

0=0

L.H.S=R.H.S

putting x = 1/5 in the equation

5\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2\:+\:9\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)-\:2\:=\:0\:

5\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2+9\cdot \:\frac{1}{5}-2=0

\frac{1}{5}+\frac{9}{5}-2=0

2-2=0

0=0

L.H.S=R.H.S

As putting x = -2 and x = 1/5 satisfy the equation.

Therefore, the equation 5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0 has roots –2 and 1/5.

Hence, the option 'a' is the correct answer.

B2-4b+4=0 using quadratic forumla
Ivan

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term   

Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span> 
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span>  1 • 4 = 4</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  4  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span>     </span></span>

<span><span>-4   +   -1   =   -5</span><span>     -2   +   -2   =   -4   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -2  and  -2 
                     <span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    b • (b-2)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (b-2)  •  (b-2)
             Which is the desired factorization
