Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

sqrt(15)/4

Discussion:

The attachment shows a right triangle where arcsin(@) = 1/4. (The arcsin means find the angle whose sine is 1/4 as is done in the triangle.) The missing side, sqrt(15), shown in red, was determined by the Pythagorean theorem.

Then cos(@) = cos(arcsin(1/4)) = sqrt(15)/4

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

Dependent: Cost of the ride.

Independent : Number of rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the variable what we change and the dependent variable is the variables which changes because of that changes.

Here the total cost of ride changes for any change in the number of rides.

Hence, the number of rides is the independent variable and the total cost of ride is the dependent variable

A plane intersects a double-napped cone so that it contains the generating line.

mr Goodwill [35]

To understand this picture 2 cones that are stacked one on top of another. A double-napped cone is created when a generator is rotated about a fixed vertical axis. A line is created when the cone is cut by a plane containing the generator. Please see the attachment to help you understand this.

I hope this helps, Regards.
