What is the exact value of the cos F?

Mathematics

Galina-37 [17]2 years ago

Answer:

cos(F) = 9/41

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so you know that ...

... cos(D) = cos(A) = 40/41.

From trig relations, you know ...

... cos(F) = sin(D)

and

... sin(D)² +cos(D)² = 1

So ...

... cos(F) = sin(D) = √(1 -cos(D)²) = √(1 -(40/41)²) = √(81/1681)

... cos(F) = 9/41

_____

The ratio for cos(A) tells you that you can consider AB=40, AC=41. Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find BC = √(41² -40²) = √81 = 9.

From the definition of the cosine, you know cos(C) = BC/AC = 9/41. Because the triangles are similar, you know

... cos(F) = cos(C) = 9/41

How many intersections are there of the graphs of the equations below?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

<u>The number of intersections = ∞</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

0.5 x + 5y = 6

3x + 30y = 36

By multiplying the first equation by 6

∴ 6 (0.5 x + 5y) = 6 * 6

∴ 3x + 30y = 36

So, Those equations are "Dependent", because they are really the same equation, just multiplied the first equation by 6.

So, the two equations are identical

Therefore: <u>They have infinity number of solutions.</u>

<u>See the attached figure.</u>

0.5 x + 5y = 6 ⇒ in black color

3x + 30y = 36 ⇒ in red color

Consider this equation: –2x – 4 + 5x = 8 Generate a plan to solve for the variable. Describe the steps that will be used.
horrorfan [7]
We are given the function <span>–2x – 4 + 5x = 8  and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x =8+4
Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12
x = 4.
The variable x has a value of 4.</span>

The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is <br> 270.<br> What is the second number in this sequence?
KonstantinChe [14]
Lets find all the numbers..

x (1st number)
x + 2 ( 2nd number)
x + 4 (3rd number)
x + 6 (4th number)
x + 8 (5th number)
x + 10 (6th number)

Now add all those expressions and set them equal to 270 because that is the total.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
x = 40

Now we will substitute 40 for x in the expression of the second number.

x + 2
40 + 2
42

So the second number is 42

Hope this helps :)
