If the terminal side of angle θ passes through a point on the unit circle in the first quadrant where x=√2/2, what is the exact

measure of θ?

The exact measure of the angle is 45°.

<h3>How to get the angle?</h3>

We know that the terminal side passes through a point of the form (√2/2, y).

Notice that the point is on the unit circle, so its module must be equal to 1, so we can write:

1 = \sqrt{( \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )^2 + y^2} \\\\1^2 = \frac{2}{4} + y^2\\1 - 1/2 = y^2\\\\1/\sqrt{2} = y

We know that y is positive because the point is on the first quadrant.

Now, we know that our point is:

(√2/2, 1/√2)

And we can rewrite:

√2/2 = 1/√2

So the point is:

( 1/√2,  1/√2)

Finally, remember that a point (x, y), the angle that represents it is given by:

θ = Atan(y/x).

Then in this case, we have:

θ = Atan(1/√2/1/√2) = Atan(1) = 45°

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values
Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}

L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0

Substitute x,y into the last equation and solve for \lambda:

\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6

Then we get two critical points,

(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)

We get an absolute maximum of 3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369 at the second point, and an absolute minimum of -3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369 at the first point.

If a price decreases by 20% I can calculate 20% of the price and subtract it from the original price or I can calculate it in on
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

both statements are fine

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,

First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.

For example:

let "x" be the original price

in the first case it would be:

0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:

x - 0.2 * x

in the second case it is:

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x
