Trigonometry ratios:

    [tex]\sf Sin \ \theta =\dfrac{opposite \ side }{hypotenuse} =\dfrac{12}{37}[/tex]

To find the adjacent side use  Pythagorean theorem.

   

      Opposite side² + adjacent side² = hypotenuse²    

                                  adjacent side² = hypotenuse² - opposite side²

                                                           = 37² - 12²

                                                           = 1369 - 144  

                                                           = 1225

                                  adjacent side = √1225

                                                          = 35

Find a linear inequality with the following solution set. Each grid line represents one unit.

Answers

Answer:

y≤-x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is slanted down and crossing through a point every one unit the slope is negative one. The line is also crossing 1 on the y-axis. This is the y-intercept. The last thing we need to know is which sign to use, less than, greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to. We can immediately cross out less than and greater than because it is a solid line. The sign used on the graph is less than or equal to because it is a solid line shaded to the left. Now, we can use the formula with the information we have found to create the linear inequality.

Formula: y≤x+b

I put the less than or equal to sign there instead of the equal sign because the line graphed is less than or equal to. Plug in the information we have.

y≤-x+1

Using function notation.

f(x)≤-x+1

I have also attached a picture for you to see it is correct.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you look at the first photo I sent you'll see I marked three points. So the first point is going to be the two lines meet and the other two are going to be at 0 degrees and 48 degrees. After that you're going to draw a line to connect 2 of the dots to the middle one or the one connecting the two. After this you're going to put the protractor back on the triangle and line it up and then draw a point at 24 degrees (half of 48 degrees) and then draw a line to it. And this will be the bisector. And then after that label all the points. Also for the congruency thing just do the same thing except without an angle bisector through it.

The full set is;

This question introduces the concept of polynomial long division.

This is what we are

Now, from the concept of polynomial long division, we can see that:

if, f (x) ÷ g (x) = h (x),

This means that we can write:

f (x) = g (x) × h (x)

Applying the same concept to the question, we can also say:

F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (2.5, ∞).
F(x) > 0 over the intervals (-0.7, 0.76) and (0.76, ∞).

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Wherever the function crosses the x-axis, its sign changes. This lets us make a map of the signs of the function, and identify intervals where it is positive and negative.

Sign changes

The x-intercepts are said to be at x ∈ {-0.7, 0.76, 2.5}.  These three crossing points divide the graph into four (4) intervals. The sign of the function is given as positive at x=0 and negative at x = 1.9. So, our sign map is ...

  < -0.7 . . . . . negative

  -0.7 to 0.76 . . . . . positive (2 at x=0, for example)

  0.76 to 2.5 . . . . . negative (-5.7 at 1.9, for example)

  > 2.5 . . . . . positive

Choosing from the descriptions, the one that matches is ...

  F(x) < 0 over the intervals (-∞, -0.7) and (0.76, 2.5)

Which of the following demonstrates the correct first step in copying an angle?

Create a line that intersects the angle.

Draw a ray with one endpoint.

Create a point outside of the angle.

Swing an arc that intersects the angle's rays.

Answers

"Draw a ray with one endpoint" demonstrates the correct first step in copying an angle. This is further explained below.

What is the angle?

In general, the distance (which is sometimes stated as a degree) that occurs between two crossing lines or surfaces at or near the point where they meet. This distance might be positive or negative.

The formation of an angle is caused by the conjunction of two rays at a single point in space. The split or 'opening' that can be seen between these two rays is referred to as a 'angle,' and the symbol denotes this particular angle. The degree is the standard unit of measurement for angles, and its values include things like 60 degrees and 90 degrees, amongst other possible combinations.

In conclusion, "Draw a ray with one terminal" illustrates the correct first step in duplicating an angle. This step shows how to replicate an angle.

A function that measures two polynomials in comparison. Because one is divided by the other, just like a ratio, it is a "rational function."

All real numbers x, except those for which the denominator is 0, are included in the domain of a rational function. Equilibrate the denominator to zero and then solve for x to determine which x values are excluded from the scope of a rational function.

The exponential function is [tex]f(x) = 18(12)^{-x-4} + 2[/tex]

How to determine the equation?

An exponential function is represented as:

y = b^x

Where b represents the base.

The base is given as:

b = 12

So, we have:

y = (12)^x

It is vertically compressed by a factor of 1/8.

So, we have:

y = 18(12)^x

When reflected across the y-axis, we have:

[tex]y = 18(12)^{-x}[/tex]

The horizontal asymptote is y = 2.

So, we have:

[tex]y = 18(12)^{-x} + 2[/tex]

It passes through the point (-3, 4).

So, we shift the function to the right by 4 units

[tex]y = 18(12)^{-x-4} + 2[/tex]

Express as a function

[tex]f(x) = 18(12)^{-x-4} + 2[/tex]

The number of cars parked in a car park increases from 50 to 73. what is the percentage increase?

Answers

73 is a 46% increase of 50.

What is percentage ?

A percentage is a relative value that represents the hundredth part of any quantity. One percent (symbolized 1%) is a hundredth part; thus, 100 percent represents the entire amount and 200 percent specifies twice the given amount.

Percentage is defined as a specific part or amount out of a hundred. It is a fraction with the denominator 100 and is denoted by the symbol "percent."

The percent increase formula is as follows:

Percent increase = [(new value - original value)/original value] * 100.

Number of car parking (original value)=50

Number of car parking(new value)=73

The Percentage increase =[(73-50)/50]*100

                                          = [(23)/50]*100  

                                          =.46*100

Consider [tex]$\triangle ABC$ such that $BC = 3AC$ and $\angle A = \pi/6$[/tex]
What are [tex]\[12 \sin(\angle B), 12 \sin(\angle C)\][/tex] in that order?

Answers

The answer to the question is,

12 sin(∠B) = 2,           12 sin(∠C) = √3+√35

Sin rule is,

sin(A)/BC = sin(B)/AC = sin(C)/AB

sin(B) = (sin(A)×AC)/BC

sin(C) =(sin(B)×AB)/AC

To solve this question we apply sin rule,

Now we take

12 sin(∠B) =12 (sin(∠A)×AC)/BC

12 sin(∠B) =12 (sin(π/6)×(x/3x))          where ∠A =π/6 and AC=x, BC =3x

12 sin(∠B) =12 ((1/2)×(1/3))

12 sin(∠B) =12/6 = 2

12 sin(∠B) = 2

now we find the value of 12 sin(∠C)

12 sin(∠C) = 12(sin B)×(AB/BC)

now put the value of 12 sin(∠B) = 2

12 sin(∠C) = 2×(AB/BC)

12 sin(∠C) = (2/AC)×[AC×(cos(π/6))+BC×(cos B)]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[cos(π/6)+(BC/AC)×(cos B)]

cos (π/6) = √3/2 and BC/AC =3

then

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×(cos B)]

cos B= √1-sin²B

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×√(1-sin²B)]

12 sin(∠B) = 2

sin B = 1/6

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×√(1-(1/6)²]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×√1-(1/36)]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×√(36-1)/36]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+3×√(35/36)]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+(3/6)×√35]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(√3/2)+(1/2)×√35]

12 sin(∠C) = 2×[(1/2)(√3+√35)]

12 sin(∠C) = √3+√35

Hence the answer is,

12 sin(∠B) = 2,         12 sin(∠C) = √3+√35
