1) 27.374

2)9.177

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To get the value of x , we use the appropriate trigonometric ratio

From what we are given;

we have the hypotenuse ( the side facing the right angle) and the adjacent

The trigonometric identity to use here is the cos

The cos of an angle is the ratio of the adjacent to the hypotenuse

cos 64 = 12/x

x = 12/cos 64

x = 27.374

2) Here, we are given the hypotenuse and the opposite

The trigonometric ratio to use here is the sine

the sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse

thus, we have it that;

sin 35 = x/16

x = 16 sin 35

x = 9.177

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
