So you have a right angle triangle. You need to use trig for this, as you have two values you can figure out a third.

You know that you have

90 deg. angle
19 deg. angle
Therefor you have 71 deg. angle

sin19 = x/15
15sin19 = x
x = 2.2

Now do Pythagoras c^2-b^2=a^2

a = 14.8

So the sides are 2.2 and 14.8 units long. (If these numbers are wrong tell me and I'll edit answer)

Answer:

D.  4.9 units, 14.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By working in reverse, doing arctan( small side / big side) we can deduce it to answer D, seeing as

4.9/14.2 ~= 0.34507

tan^{-1}(0.34507) = 19.04degrees

Which rounds out to 19degrees in the tenths.

Sauron [17]
Correlation coefficient (r) = [nΣxy - (Σx)(Σy)] / [sqrt(nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)sqrt(nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2)]
Σx = 21 => (Σx)^2 = 21^2 = 441
Σy = 671 => (Σy)^2 = 671^2 = 450,241
Σx^2 = 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 = 91
Σy^2 = 98^2 + 101^2 + 109^2 + 117^2 + 119^2 + 127^2 = 75,665
Σxy = 1(98) + 2(101) + 3(109) + 4(117) + 5(119) + 6(127) = 2,452
r = [6(2,452) - 21(671)] / [sqrt(6(91) - 441)sqrt(6(75,665) - 450,241)] = 621/sqrt(105)sqrt(3749) = 0.99

option b is the correct answer.

If 9i is a root of the polynomial function f(x), which of the following must also be a root of f(x)?
Stels [109]
<span>Given the question "If 9i is a root of the polynomial function f(x), which of the following must also be a root of f(x)?" The correct answer is -9i. Given a polynomial with a complex root, then the conjugate of the complex root must also be a root to that polynomial function. The conjugate of a complex number is the number with equal real part and imaginary part but with the sign between the real part and the imaginary part opposite. For example, the complex conjugate of 3 + 4i is 3 − 4i. Therefore, given that 9i is a root to a polynomial function f(x), the conjugate of 9i = -9i will also be a root to the equation.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 20 is √(2 * 2 * 5) which is 2√5  Not so

√5 does not terminate and there is no pattern to the decimal. √5 is irrational.

Neither one is correct.
