Given that cos(theta) = -2 radical 5/5, and is in Quadrant II, what is cos(2theta)?

1 answer:

5 0

$cos \theta = \frac{ - 2 \sqrt{5} }{5}$

$cos 2\theta = 2cos {}^{2} \theta - 1 \\ cos2 \theta = 2( \frac{ - 2 \sqrt{5} }{5} ) {}^{2} - 1 \\ cos2 \theta = 2( \frac{20}{ \\ 25} ) - 1 \\ cos2 \theta = \frac{40 - 25}{25} = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5}$

If BC = 61 and AB = 82, what is the length of AC?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

54.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Plug the given values in to get 61^2+b^2=82^2

61^2 is 3,721 and 82^2 is 6,724.

6,724-3,721 is 3,003.

The square root of 3,003, rounded to a reasonable value, is 54.8.

The length of AC is 54.8.

the performing arts department put in its spring show on Friday and Saturday nights. the price of a ticket was the same both nig

Galina-37 [17]

Let $p=$ the price of a ticket
Let $c=$ the cost to put on the show

Formula:
(profit) = (ticket price) * (number of people) - (cost to put on show)
We have two equations here:
$500=120p-c$
$400=100p-c$
Solve:
$100=20p$
⇒ $p=5$
⇒ $400=100(5)-c$
⇒ $400=500-c$
⇒ $c=100$

So the price of a ticket is $5, and the cost to put on the show is $100.
