Answer:

B. 39.59

Step-by-step explanation:

So 43 degrees, you know the length of the opposite side (27) and the angle (43 degrees), the only unknown is the hypotenuse. So you're looking for a trigonometric ratio that uses the angle (all of them do, except technically the inverse don't), the opposite side, and the hypotenuse. Sine is defined as \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}. So let's plug in known values:

sin(43) = \frac{27}{x}

Multiply both sides by x

sin(43) * x = 27

divide both sides by sin(43)

x=\frac{27}{sin(43)}

Normally I would use a calculator, but in this case I'll use the approximation given in the problem of 0.682

x=\frac{27}{0.682}

simplify the fraction

x\approx39.59

Answer: cos(Θ) = (√15) / 4

Explanation:

The question states:

1) sin(Θ) = 1/4

2) 0 < Θ < π / 2

3) find cos(Θ)

This is how you solve it.

1) Use the fundamental identity (in this part I use α instead of Θ, just for facility of wirting the symbols, but they mean the same for the case).

(cos \alpha )^2 + (sin \alpha )^2 =1

2) From which you can find:

(cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (sin \alpha )^2

3) Replace sin(α) with 1/4

=> (cos \alpha )^2 = 1 - (1/4)^2 = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16

=> cos \alpha =+/- \sqrt{15/16} = +/- (\sqrt{15} )/4

4) Given that the angle is in the first quadrant, you know that cosine is positive and the final answer is:

cos(Θ) = \sqrt{15} /4.

And that is the answer.

Determine the equation of the line with slope 3 that passes through the point M(1.2).<br> ?
guapka [62]
Y = 3x - 1

The format for slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b

m represents the slope and that was given so:

y = 3x + b

Now we have to substitute the value from the given point into “y” and “x” to solve for “b”

(2) = 3(1) + b
2 = 3 + b
-1 = b

Now that we know b we can substitute it into y = 3x + b to get the equation of the line

y = 3x - 1

~~hope this helps~~
