What ia cos 16°? Please help me

Mathematics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
5 0

This is a terrible question. Send the publisher a nasty note.

First let's answer the question.

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, so the cosine of the angle labeled 16 degrees is 24 (the adjacent side to 16 degrees) divided by 25 (the hypotenuse).

Answer: 24/25

---------

Now I'm going to complain about the question.  24/25 is of course 0.96 exactly, while

cos 16° ≈ 0.96126169593831886191649704855706487352569

They're not the same, and never think 24/25 is the cosine of 16 degrees.  It's approximately the cosine of 16 degrees; there's a big difference.

The cosine of 16 degrees is some awfully complicated algebraic number, a zero of some high degree polynomial with integer coefficients.  Worse yet, the angle whose cosine is 24/25 is almost certainly a transcendental number, not the zero of any such polynomial.

Trigonometry as practiced forces approximations to be employed.  Let's not sweep that under the rug in the questions, please.

During a business trip, an individual stopped at two rest stops. In the parking lot of the first rest stop, they counted 20 cars
olganol [36]

Answer

given,

on first stop

number of car = 20  and number of trucks = 18

on second stop

number of car = 18  and number of trucks = 10

we need to calculate which rest stop has higher ratio of car to truck.

Rest Stop 1

ratio= r₁ =\dfrac{cars}{trucks}

           r₁ =\dfrac{20}{18}

           r₁ =\dfrac{10}{9}

Rest Stop 2

ratio= r₂ =\dfrac{cars}{trucks}

           r₂ =\dfrac{18}{10}

           r₂=\dfrac{9}{5}

hence, r₂ > r₁

rest stop 2 has more car to truck ratio than rest stop 1

Solve for x. 3^x−1=9^x+2 <br> Enter your answer in the box.
slava [35]

Answer:

-5 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

3^(x-1) = 9^(x+2)

Replace 9 with 3^2

3^(x-1) = 3^2^(x+2)

We know that a power to a power means the powers are multiplied

a^b^c = a^(b*c)

3^(x-1) = 3^(2x+2)

When the bases are the same, the powers have to be the same

x-1 = 2x+4

Subtract x from each side

x-x-1 =2x-x+4

-1 =x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

-1-4 =x+4-4

-1-4 = x

-5 =x

A publishing company claims that in fall 2019, the average price of college textbooks for a single semester is $385. Suppose you
hram777 [196]

Answer:

We accept H₀ . We don´t have enough evidence to express the publisher claim is not true

Step by Step explanation:

We must evaluate if the mean of the price of college textbooks is different from the value claimed by the publisher

n < 30 then we must use t - distrbution

degree of freedom   n  - 1     df = 22 - 1     df = 21

As the question mentions " different " that means,  a two-tail test

At 0,01 significance level     α  = 0,01       α/2  =  0,005

and t(c)  = 2,831

Test Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis                      H₀          μ  =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis           Hₐ          μ  ≠  μ₀

To calculate t(s)

t(s)  =  (  μ  -  μ₀ ) /σ/√n

t(s)  =  (  433,50 - 385 ) / 86,92 / √22

t(s)  =  2,6171

Comparing   t(c)   and t(s)

t(s) < t(c)

Then  t(s) is in the acceptance region we accept H₀. We don´t have enough evidence to claim that mean price differs from publisher claim

How is a scientist theory developed
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Theories and laws

Both scientific laws and scientific theories are produced from the scientific method through the formation and testing of hypotheses, and can predict the behavior of the natural world. Both are typically well-supported by observations and/or experimental evidence.
