Find the exact value of cos 157.5°.

1 answer:

3 0

Cos 157.5º=-cos (180º-157.5º)=-cos 22.5=-cos(45/2)

cos Ф/2=⁺₋√((1+cosФ)/2).

In this case 157.5º is in the second quadrant, therefore we use the following equation:
cos Ф/2=-√((1+cosФ)/2). (we will have a negative number)

cos 157.5º=-cos (45/2)=-√((1+cos 45º)/2)
=-√((1+√2/2)/2)
=-√((2+√2)/4)
=-√(2+√2) / 2 (≈-0.92387...)

Answer: cos 157.5º= -√(2+√2) / 2

The first three steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations algebraically are shown in the table. y = −x2 +

lianna [129]

You have a system of equations $\left \{ {{y = -x^2+2x-9} \atop {y =-6x+6}} \right.$ .

1. Substitude right side of second equation into the left side of the first equation: $-6x+6=-x^2+2x-9$ .

2. Solve this equation:
$x^2-2x+9-6x+6=0, \\ x^2-8x+15=0, \\ D=(-8)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 15=64-60=4, \\ \sqrt{D}=2, \\ x_{1,2}=\dfrac{8\pm 2}{2 } =3,5$ .

3. Find y:
for $x_1=3, y_1=-6\cdot 3+6=-18+6=-12$ ,
for $x_2=5, y_2=-6\cdot 5+6=-30+6=-24$ .

4. The solutions of the system are: (3,-12) and (5,-24).
Answer: Correct choice is A.
