Find sin(x/2), cos (x/2), and tan(x/2) from the given information.

Mathematics

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

7. Find an equation of the line containing (- 4,5) and perpendicular to the line 5x - 3y = 4.
bagirrra123 [75]

The equation of the line containing (- 4,5) and perpendicular to the line 5x - 3y = 4 is y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented as follows:

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation passes through (-4, 5) and perpendicular to 5x - 3y = 4

Hence,

perpendicular lines follows the rule below:

m₁m₂ = -1

Hence,

5x - 3y = 4

5x - 4 = 3y

y = 5/ 3 x - 4 / 3

m₁ = 5 / 3

5/3 m₂ = -1

m₂ = - 3 / 5

Hence,

using (-4, 5)

5 = - 3 / 5 (-4) + b

5 = 12 / 5 + b

b = 5 - 12 / 5 = 25 - 12 /5 = 13 / 5

Therefore,

y = -3 / 5 x + 13 / 5

The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. What is the distance betw
shusha [124]
We know that
circumference=2*pi*r-------> r=circumference/(2*pi)
circumference=30 in
r=circumference/(2*pi)------> 30/(2*pi)-----> 4.7746 in
the radius of a <span>standard basketball is 4.77 in
</span>
<span>the distance between the ball and the rim is equal to
</span>radius of a basketball rim minus radius of a a standard basketball  
radius of a basketball rim =18/2------> 9 in
radius of a a standard basketball=4.77 in<span>

</span>
the distance between the ball and the rim=[9-4.77]------> 4.23 in

the answer is
4.23 in
