Find the exact values of the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle. 255=300-45

1 answer:

7 0

Sin 255 = sin(300 - 45) = sin 300 cos 45 - cos 300 sin 45; where sin 300 = -sin(360 - 60) = - sin 60 = -√3/2, sin 45 = cos 45 = 1/√2, cos 300 = cos(360 - 60) = cos 60 = 1/2
Therefore, sin 255 = (-√3/2)(1/√2) - (1/2)(1/√2) = -√3/2√2 - 1/2√2 = -(√3 + 1)/2√2 = -(√6 + √2)/4

cos 255 = cos(300 - 45) = cos 300 cos 45 + sin 300 sin 45 = (1/2)(1/√2) + (-√3/2)(1/√2) = (1 - √3)/2√2 = (√2 - √6)/4

tan 255 = tan(300 - 45) = (tan 300 - tan 45)/(1 + tan 300 tan 45); where tan 300 = sin 300 / cos 300 = (-√3/2) / (1/2) = -√3 and tan 45 = 1
Therefore, tan 255 = (-√3 - 1)/(1 + (-√3)) = (-√3 - 1)/(1 - √3) = √3 + 2

N76 [4]

Answer:

We combine x ounces of 100% juice

with 40-x of 10% juice

to get 40 ounces of 55% juice

x + 0.1(40-x) = .55(40)

x + 4 - 0.1x = 22

0.9x + 4 = 22

.09x = 18

x = 20 ounces of 100% juice

40-x = 20 ounces of 10% juice

We combine 20 ounces of each.

Double the quotient of 3 and 6

Hitman42 [59]

$\huge{\boxed{1}}$

This statement can be represented as $2*\frac{3}{6}$ , since the quotient is the answer to a division problem.

Divide. $2*\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply. $2*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{1}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2*1}{1*2}=\frac{2}{2}$

Simplify. When the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction is equal to 1. $\frac{2}{2}=1$

Leon drew a life cycle of Insect M as shown below.

tankabanditka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.
