    How do I answer this Trig function question?

    I disagree. Learning math and geometry/trig is a series of small steps of learning. Each step concludes with an 'aha' moment, when what seemed to be complex becomes simple.

    How do I answer this Trig function question?

    a) the question is what is the length of side ac sin65=ab/ac; you know ab=25 feet, solve for ac b) the question is what is the length of side ad sin62=ad/ab; you know ab=25 feet, solve for ad redraw the picture for yourself with sides labeled, and apply sin=opposite/hypotenuse. [rule 1-...

    Sinus domain: y = sin(alpha) What is the domain of y is between -1 to 1?

    because the sin of an angle is never larger than 1 (or -1). [@ 900 and 2700​]

    Understanding equation, vertices of hyperbola: "Since (sqrt{3}, 4) lies on curve..."

    general eqn for hyperbola with origin (0,0) is; x2/a2-y2/b2=1 where a=x intercept and b=co-vertices so the specific eqn for this hyperbola is; x2-y2/8=1 because it intersects x at -1,1, and has covertices=+-sqrt8

    Working out a percentage: What grade do I need in the second part?

    .5=.2(17/20)+.8(.5)(12/22+x/80) solve for x the .5 is because you have to average the 2 parts of the second course

    Help: Find line perpendicular to y=-2/3x-8/9 passing thru (6,-9)

    pka gives a nifty way to solve the problem, using the general eqn of a line, but it is easier for me to understand using the defn of slope. in any case, you must first recognize that perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals. e.g. the line y=-2/3x-8/9 has a slope of -2/3 the negative...

    Please help I need to solve this: My Base pay is a 31.44 Overtime is 1.5 (base pay) =

    this where I saw a problem if they are already paying 18$ @ $31.44 The overtime premium should be paid @ $18(47.16)(.5) correct? no no, the premium is 18($31.44)(.5)=$282.96; not $379.82, the premium is how much is added to your regular pay for those hours. you get the same answer either way 18...

    Polynominal equation: x^4-5x^2+4=0 x(x^3-5x+4)=0

    you are close x4-5x2+4=0 (x2-4)(x2-1)=0 (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)=0 because one of the terms has to equal 0 x=-2,2, and x=-1,1 alternatively, you dont have to factor (x2-4)(x2-1)=0 (x2-4)(x2-1)=0 again, because one of the terms has to equal 0 x=sqrt4, and x=sqrt1 x=-2,2, and x=-1,1

    Where do I start

    a,b,and c are the salaries; x=scale factor x[3a(0.2)+3b(0.15)+(0.10)c]=6772.5 x=6772.5/[(0.6)a+(0.45)b+(0.1)c] then the bonuses are x(0.2)a, x(0.15)b, and x(0.1)c

    Where do I start

    1 part = 6772.5/115=58.89 (divide by 115 to change your scale to 115%) 58.89 x 20=1177.82 x 3=3533.46 (bold is individual payments) 58.89 x 15 = 883.35 x 3= 2650.05 58.89 x 10= 588.9 total, of underlined amts =6772.41, (= .09 left over)

    Polynominal equation: x^4-5x^2+4=0 x(x^3-5x+4)=0

    x4-5x2+4=0 what drudge was saying; substitute w=x2 w2-5w+4=0 (w-4)(w-1)=0 w=4, and 1 then, since w=x2 x=sqrt4, and sqrt1
