What ia cos 16°? Please help me

Mathematics

LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago

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.

Steve is analyzing two linear functions, f(x) and g(x). Will they intersect?
user100 [1]
We get for x=2, f(2)=3, (f(x)=x+1) and g(2)=3, that means that they intersect at the moint M(3,3), so the answer is
(a)Yes, at a point with a positive x-coordinate

Someone please pass the answers to this

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. The figure is composed of a triangle and a rectangle.

Area of the triangle = ½*base*height

base = 4 ft

height = 12 - 8 = 4ft

Area of triangle = ½*4*4 = 8 ft²

Area of rectangle = length * width

Length = 8 ft

Width = 4 ft

Area of rectangle = 8*4 = 32 ft²

✔️Area of the figure = 8 + 32 = 40 ft²

2. The figure is composed of a semicircle and a triangle

Area of the semicircle = ½(πr²)

radius (r) = 3 cm

π = 3

Area = ½(3*3²) = 13.5 cm²

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

base = 3*2 = 6 cm

height = 6 cm

Area = ½*6*6 = 6 cm²

✔️Area of the figure = 13.5 + 6 = 19.5 cm²

Eric randomly surveyed 150 adults from a certain city and asked which team in a contest they were rooting​ for, either North Hig
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A 95% confidence level interval will have 0.52 (lower interval) & 0.68 (upper interval) which means that that if 90 individuals root for North HS then p value is 0.6 which will fall in the 95% confidence interval range.
  • For the option B the p value will also be same as in case A hence B is true as an alternative hypothesis.
  • We can calculate P value

         Confidence Interval = p ± z \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}
