Answer:
3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle, its opposite side, and the hypotenuse are given. Then the relevant trig relation is ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(21°) = x/8.3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the given values
x = 8.3·sin(21°) ≈ 8.3×0.3584 . . . . . . multiply by 8.3
x ≈ 3.0

Answer:
It was 26.5 degrees colder at midnight than at 2:00 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
At 2:pm, it was 4 degrees.
The temperature dropped 2.5 degrees per hour until 9:00 pm.
From 2pm to 9pm, there are 7 hours. 2.5 per hour, it was 4 degrees at 2 pm.
So at 9 pm the temperature is:
4 - 2.5*7 = -13.5
The temperature dropped another 9 degrees by midnight.
At midnight, the temperature is -13.5 - 9 = -22.5 degrees
How much colder was it at midnight than at 2:00 pm?
2pm: 4 degrees
Midnight: -22.5 degrees
How much coldren
-22.5 - 4 = -26.5
It was 26.5 degrees colder at midnight than at 2:00 pm
<u>We are given the equation:</u>
log₂(x-3) + log₂x - log₂(x+2) = 2
<u>When is it defined:</u>
in this equation, log₂(x-3) and log₂(x+2) can only be defined when
x-3 >0 and x+2 > 0
solving for the values of x, we get:
x > 3 and x > -2
which basically means x > 3
<em>Because we are looking for an inequality which is true for both x>-2 and x>3</em>
Hence, x will have a value greater than 3
<u>Solving for x:</u>
using the product rule <em>[logₐb + logₐc = logₐ(bc)]</em>
log₂[(x-3)(x)] - log₂(x+2) = 2
using the quotient rule <em>[logₐb - logₐc = logₐ(b/c)]</em>
log₂[(x-3)(x) / (x+2)] = 2
from the property <em>[ aˣ = b ⇒ logₐb = x]</em>
(x² - 3x) / (x+2) = 2²
x² - 3x = 4x + 8
x² - 7x - 8 = 0
x² + x - 8x - 8 = 0
x(x+1) - 8(x+1) = 0
(x-8)(x+1) = 0
(x-8) = 0 OR (x+1) = 0
x = 8 OR x = -1
We know that the equation is defined only for x > 3
We can see that x = 8 satisfies that inequality
Therefore, x = 8
