Step-by-step explanation:

sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - cos(x))/2)

cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + cos(x))/2)

tan(x/2) = sin(x/2)/cos(x/2)

sin(x) = 15/17

so, we can assume the Hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle is 17, the vertical leg is 15.

via Pythagoras we get the 3rd, horizontal side :

17² = 15² + side²

289 = 225 + side²

64 = side²

side = 8

cos(x) = 8/17

sin(x/2) = sqrt((1 - 8/17)/2) = sqrt(9/34) = 3/sqrt(34) =

= 0.514495755...

cos(x/2) = sqrt((1 + 8/17)/2) = sqrt(25/34) = 5/sqrt(34) =

= 0.857492926...

tan(x/2) = 3/sqrt(34) / 5/sqrt(34) = 3/sqrt(34) × sqrt(34)/5 =

= 3/5 = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: You need the Unit Circle to answer these (attached)

5) cos (t) = 1

Where on the Unit Circle does cos = 1?

Answer: at 0π (0°) and all rotations of 2π (360°)

In radians: t = 0π + 2πn

In degrees: t = 0° + 360n

******************************************************************************

$6)\quad sin (t) = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Where on the Unit Circle does $sin = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Hint: sin is only positive in Quadrants I and II

$\text{Answer: at}\ \dfrac{\pi}{6}\ (30^o)\ \text{and at}\ \dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ (150^o)\ \text{and all rotations of}\ 2\pi \ (360^o)$

$\text{In radians:}\ t = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + 2\pi n \quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{5\pi}{6} + 2\pi n$

In degrees: t = 30° + 360n and 150° + 360n

******************************************************************************

$7)\quad tan (t) = -\sqrt3$

Where on the Unit Circle does $\dfrac{sin}{cos} = \dfrac{-\sqrt3}{1}\ or\ \dfrac{\sqrt3}{-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad (1,-\sqrt3)\ or\ (-1, \sqrt3)$

Hint: sin and cos are only opposite signs in Quadrants II and IV

$\text{Answer: at}\ \dfrac{2\pi}{3}\ (120^o)\ \text{and at}\ \dfrac{5\pi}{3}\ (300^o)\ \text{and all rotations of}\ 2\pi \ (360^o)$

$\text{In radians:}\ t = \dfrac{2\pi}{3} + 2\pi n \quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{5\pi}{3} + 2\pi n$

In degrees: t = 120° + 360n and 300° + 360n

Which equation describes a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex is at the point (h,v)

Serggg [28]

y = a ( x - h)^2 + v

a is positive when the parabola opens up and negative when it opens down.

Complete the steps to find the value of x.

Aneli [31]

Answer:

x = 64 degree , 2x = 128 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 128 (being alternate interior angles)

x = 128/2

x = 64 degree

=2*64

=128 degree
