Sam used his calculator to find the answer and wrote down cos 1.75 = 0.999. Does this seem like a reasonable answer to you? What

might he have done wrong on his calculator?

Since pi is equivalent to 3.14 and means 180°, therefore 1.75 which is about half of pi should be at almost 90°. The cos of a 90° angle which is located on the y axis should be zero, therefore cos 1.75 must be near zero. However in this case it is near one, clearly his calculator is in degree mode that is why he got an erroneous answer.

What Sam can do to get the correct answer would be to convert his calculator into radian mode or convert the given 1.75 rad into degrees:

θ = 1.75 rad (180° / π rad)

θ = 100.2676

<span>cos 100.2676 = -0.1782   which is now correct since it is nearer to zero</span>

Reflect (5,-4) over the y-axis. Then translate the result to the right 2 units. What are the coordinates of the final point?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(-3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When reflecting across the y-axis, you will mirror the coordinates across the y-axis. This means (5,-4) will turn into (-5,-4) because mirroring it across the y-axis will only change the x coordinate. Then, to translate it to the right, you move to the right two times to give you (-3,-4). The y-coordinate will never change in this situation because you are only reflecting and moving left and right.

If a sentence is defined recursively by f(0)=3 and f(n+1) = f(n) +5 for n ? 0, then f(2) is A) 2 B) 3 C) 5 D) 8
VladimirAG [237]

The recursive formula f(n+1)=f(n)+5 means that the next term in the sequence is 5 more than the previous one.

So, we know that we start from f(0)=3, which means that the next term is

f(1) = f(0)+5 = 3+5 = 8

Similarly,

f(2) = f(1)+5 = 8+5 = 13
