Starting from the formula

\cos^2(x)=\dfrac{1+\cos(2x)}{2}

We can divide all the angles by 2 and we get

\cos^2\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)=\dfrac{1+\cos(x)}{2}

And finally

\cos\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos(x)}{2}}

Angle x is a third quadrant angle, meaning that it is somewhere between 180 and 270. This implies that x/2 lies between 90 and 135. So, x/2 is a second quadrant angle, and its cosine is negative. This means that we can update the previous equation to

\cos\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos(x)}{2}}

You know that

\cos(x)=-\dfrac{1}{5}

so, plug that value into the expression and you'll get cos(x/2).

Find a vector function, r(t), that represents the curve of intersection of the two surfaces. the paraboloid z = 9x2 y2 and the p
dolphi86 [110]

The vector function is, r(t) =  \bold{ < t,2t^2,9t^2+4t^4 > }

Given two surfaces for which the vector function corresponding to the intersection of the two need to be found.

First surface is the paraboloid, z=9x^2+y^2

Second equation is of the parabolic cylinder, y=2x^2

Now to find the intersection of these surfaces, we change these equations into its parametrical representations.

Let x = t

Then, from the equation of parabolic cylinder,  y=2t^2.

Now substituting x and y into the equation of the paraboloid, we get,

z=9t^2+(2t^2)^2 = 9t^2+4t^4

Now the vector function, r(t) = <x, y, z>

So r(t) = \bold{ < t,2t^2,9t^2+4t^4 > }

It’s only one question plz help (DON’T GUESS NO LINKS) please I will do anything there is a part two I’m struggling and this is
pshichka [43]

Answer:

For question 1 it's B

For question 2 it's C

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For question 1, you have to apply the "Triangle Inequality Theorem"</u>

A+B > C

B+C > A

A+C > B

Let's say that A=22, B=17, C= 14

22+17 > 14       True

17+14 > 22       True

22+14 > 17       True

Therefore, the answer is B

<u>For question 2, you apply the rule of the sum of the triangles which is 180°</u>

70+70+? = 180

140+? = 180

? = 40

Therefore, it's C

Is “12.95 x 10^4” a Scientific Notation? Yes or No? Explain.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 10^8. and that is something Very similar.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
