Answer:
41°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠C is opposite of side c.
Using law of cosines:
c² = a² + b² − 2ab cos C
17.2² = 26² + 19² − 2(26)(19) cos C
cos C = 0.750
C ≈ 41°
Answer:
The answer is 41 degrees
given that ABCD is a rhombus, what is the value of x?
Answer:
D. 18Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
1. Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.
2. Diagonals divide the rhombus on four congruent right triangles.
3. The sum of measures of acute angles in a right triangle is equal 90°.
Angles CAD and ACB are alternate angles. Therefore they are congruent:
m∠DAC = m∠ACB ⇒ m∠ACB = x°.
From 3. we have the equation:
(5x - 18) + x = 90
(5x + x) - 18 = 90 add 18 to both sides
6x = 108 divide both sides by 6
x = 18
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
In any Rhombus the diagonals bisect the angles. The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
So,
5x-18+x+90=180 ( Angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees)
Simplifying like terms:
6x+72=180
Subtracting 72 both sides :
6x= 108
Dividing by 6 both sides:
x=18.
Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
match each function with the corresponding function formula when h(x)=5-3x and g(x)=-3+5
Answer:
k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)
k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)
k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)
k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)
k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)
k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)
Step-by-step explanation:
* To solve this problem we will substitute h(x) and g(x) in k(x) in the
right column to find the corresponding function formula in the
left column
∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x
∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5
- Lets start with the right column
# k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)
∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5
∵ 3g(x) = 3[-3^x + 5] = [3 × -3^x + 3 × 5]
- Lets simplify 3 × -3^x
take the negative out -(3 × 3^x), and use the rule a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)
∴ -3(3 × 3^x) = -(3^x+1)
∴ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15
∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x
∵ 5h(x) = 5[5 - 3x] = [5 × 5 - 5 × 3x] = 25 - 15x
- Now substitute 3g(x) and 5h(x) in k(x)
∵ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)
∴ k(x) = -3^x+1 + 15 + 25 - 15x ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x
∴ k(x) = 40 - 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x)
* k(x) = (3g + 5h)(x) ⇒ (1)
# k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)
∵ 5h(x) = 25 - 15x
∵ 3g(x) = -3^x+1 + 15
∵ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)
∴ k(x) = 25 - 15x - (-3^x+1 + 15) = 25 -15x + 3^x+1 - 15 ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x
∴ k(x) = 10 + 3^x+1 - 15x ⇒ k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x)
* k(x) = (5h - 3g)(x) ⇒ (3)
# k(x) = (h - g)(x)
∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x
∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5
∵ k(x) = (h - g)(x)
∴ k(x) = 5 - 3x - (-3^x + 5) = 5 - 3x + 3^x - 5 ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 3^x - 3x
∴ k(x)= 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (h - g)(x)
* k(x) = (h - g)(x) ⇒ (2)
# k(x) = (g + h)(x)
∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x
∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5
∵ k(x) = (g + h)(x)
∴ k(x) = -3^x + 5 + 5 - 3x ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 10 - 3^x - 3x
∴ k(x)= 10 - 3^x - 3x ⇒ k(x) = (g + h)(x)
* k(x) = (g + h)(x) ⇒ (4)
# k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)
∵ g(x) = -3^x + 5
∵ 5g(x) = 5[-3^x + 5] = [5 × -3^x + 5 × 5] = 5(-3^x) + 25
∴ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25
∵ h(x) = 5 - 3x
∵ 3h(x) = 3[5 - 3x] = [3 × 5 - 3 × 3x] = 15 - 9x
- Now substitute 5g(x) and 3h(x) in k(x)
∵ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)
∴ k(x) = -5(3^x) + 25 + 15 - 9x ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x
∴ k(x) = 40 - 5(3^x) - 9x ⇒ k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x)
* k(x) = (5g + 3h)(x) ⇒ (5)
# k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)
∵ 3h(x) = 15 - 9x
∵ 5g(x) = -5(3^x) + 25
∵ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)
∴ k(x) = 15 - 9x - [-5(3^x) + 25] = 15 - 9x + 5(3^x) - 25 ⇒ simplify
∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10
∴ k(x) = 5(3^x) - 9x - 10 ⇒ k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x)
* k(x) = (3h - 5g)(x) ⇒ (6)

What are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse shown below? (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2/9+36=1
Answer: -2,4
Step-by-step explanation:
Center = (-2,4) are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse .
What is the centre of ellipse?The major and minor axes' midpoints meet at the center of an ellipse. At their intersection, the axes are perpendicular. The foci are always on the major axis, and the constant sum of the distances between the foci is greater than the sum of the distances from the foci to any point on the ellipse.
The equation of an ellipse is [tex]\frac{\left(x - h\right)^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{\left(y - k\right)^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex]
where (h,k) is the center, b and a are the lengths of the semi-major and the semi-minor axes.
Our ellipse in this form is [tex]\frac{\left(x - \left(-2\right)\right)^{2}}{9} + \frac{\left(y - 4\right)^{2}}{36} = 1[/tex]
Thus, h = -2, k = 4
Center = (-2,4).

Please help!!!! sinx= -1/2, and cosy= sqrt 3/2. if angle x is the fourth quadrant and angle y is in the first quadrant the value of cos(x-y) is??
Answer:
[tex]\cos (x-y)=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula:
[tex]\cos (x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y[/tex]
Since
[tex]\sin x=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
and angle x is in the fourth quadrant, then cos x is greater than 0 and is equal to
[tex]\cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin ^2x}=\sqrt{1-\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1-\dfrac{1}{4}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]
Since
[tex]\cos y=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]
and angle y is in the first quadrant, then sin y is greater than 0 and is equal to
[tex]\sin y=\sqrt{1-\cos ^2y}=\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1-\dfrac{3}{4}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\cos (x-y)=\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

The graph that correctly represents the inequality 2x > 50 is graph
. The graph that correctly represents the inequality x + 6 < 32 is graph
Answer:
the first one is graph c and the second, graph b.
Step-by-step explanation:
They are both linear inequalities, so for both, you have to solve for x first. For the first one, since x is basically multiplied to 2 (2x), you have to divide both sides to get x by itself, and you get x>25. The graph has to have an opened circle, and the arrow should go to the right because all the numbers greater than 25 can be x. For the second one, you have to subtract 6 to both sides to get x by itself which then leaves you with ×<26. This one should also be an opened circle, and is going to the left, because all the numbers less than 26 can be x.

A car salesman earns a 20% commission on every car that he sells. Approximately what commission would he make if he sold a car for $9,895?
First you are going to multiply the number by the percent. 9,895 x 20= 197,900.
Now divide the answer by 100. 197,900 / 100= 1,979.
This means the car salesman should make 1,979 from the car sale.
Remember, multiply the number by the percent, then divide that answer by 100.

Last year, a total of 26 inches of rain fell in Center City. This year, experts predict rainfall in Center City will increase by 15% over last year's total.
How many more inches of rain are predicted to fall in Center City this year than last year?
Multiply last years rainfall by the percent of increase.
26 inches x 0.15 = 3.9 inches more.
Round the answer as needed.
First, we need to find 15% of last years total rainfall to estimate next years. To do this, multiply last years rain by the decimal form of 15%.
26*.15=3.9
There will be 3.9 more inches of rain predicted to fall next year.

Pentagon PQRST and its reflection, pentagon P'Q'R'S'T', are shown in the coordinate plane below:
What is the line of reflection between pentagons PQRST and P'Q'R'S'T'?
The line of reflection between the two pentagons is the y-axis.
We can see this because all of the points in pentagon P'Q'R'S'T' have the same x-coordinate as their corresponding points in pentagon PQRST, but their y-coordinates are negated. For example, point P has coordinates (-4, 6), and its reflected image P' has coordinates (-4, -6).
The y-axis is the only line that passes through all of the midpoints of the segments connecting corresponding points in the two pentagons. Since reflection preserves distance, the line of reflection must be the perpendicular bisector of any segment connecting a point in one pentagon to its reflected image in the other pentagon.
What is tan 11(3.14)/6
Answer:
A) -sqrt(3)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you know your unit circle (attached), 11pi/6 has the value of (sqrt(3)/2,-1/2), where the coords are (cosine, sine).
Tangent is sine/cosine:
(-1/2)/(sqrt(3)/2)
We can convert this to multiplication by miltiplying the reciprocal of sqrt(3)/2:
(-1/2)*(2/sqrt(3))
Multiplied out to:
-2/(2sqrt(3))
We have to rationalize this by multiplying the numerator and denominator by sqrt(3):
-2(sqrt(3))/2sqrt(3)(sqrt(3)
two of the same square roots multiplied together equals the number without the sqrt:
-2(sqrt(3))/2*3
we can factor out 2 from the numerator and denominator:
-sqrt(3)/3
Therefore, the answer is A

The maximum number of hours that can rent the canoe is 2 hours
The equation that represents the number of hours you can rent the canoe is h = ($32.50-$14.50)/$6.
Explanation:The subject of this question is Mathematics and it appears suitable for a Middle School level. Given the scenario you presented, we will need to create a linear equation to determine the number of hours of canoe rental. In this case, the $14.50 is a fixed cost, like the $31.50 in one of your examples. Additionally, the $6 per hour to use the canoe is a variable cost. To create an equation that represents the amount of hours you can rent the canoe, we first deduct the fixed cost from your total budget. This gives you $32.50 - $14.50 = $18 left to work with. Each hour of canoe use costs $6, so we divide the remaining amount by 6 to find how many hours (h) you can rent the canoe. This gives us the equation, h = ($32.50-$14.50)/$6.

Cate purchases $1600 worth of stock and her broker estimates it will increase in value by 4.2% each year. After about how many years will the value of Cate’s stock be about $2000?
Answer:
Since the money appreciates 4.2% each year, then:
2000=1600x(1.042)^n, where n is the number of years
Then:
1.25=1.042^n
ln 1.25=ln 1.042^n=n ln 1.042
n=5.424 years
Cate's $1600 stock investment, growing at 4.2% annually, will take approximately 5.21 years to reach a value of about $2000.
Explanation:Given that Cate purchases $1600 worth of stock with an estimated increase in value by 4.2% each year, we are looking to find out after how many years the value will be about $2000. To determine this, we can use the formula for exponential growth, P = P_0 (1 + r)^t, where P is the future value, P_0 is the initial value, r is the rate of increase, and t is the time in years.
Cate's initial investment is $1600 (P_0), and we aim for a future value of $2000 (P). The annual growth rate r is 4.2%, or 0.042 when expressed as a decimal. Plugging these values into the formula and solving for t gives us:
2000 = 1600 (1 + 0.042)^t1.25 = (1.042)^tt = ln(1.25) / ln(1.042)t ≈ 5.21So, it will take approximately 5.21 years for Cate's investment to reach a value of about $2000, assuming a steady 4.2% growth rate.
