Answer:

\cos(\theta)=\pm \frac{24}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know where \theta is so there is going to be two possibilities for cosine value, one being positive while the other is negative.

A Pythagorean Identity is \cos^2(\theta)+\sin^2(\theta)=1.

We are given \sin(\theta)=\frac{7}{25}.

So we are going to input \frac{7}{25} for the sin(\theta):

\cos^2(\theta)+(\frac{7}{25})^2=1

\cos^2(\theta)+\frac{49}{625}=1

Subtract 49/625 on both sides:

\cos^2(\theta)=1-\frac{49}{625}

Find a common denominator:

\cos^2(\theta)=\frac{625-49}{625}

\cos^2(\theta)=\frac{576}{625}

Square root both sides:

\cos(\theta)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{576}{625}}

\cos(\theta)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{576}}{\sqrt{625}}

\cos(\theta)=\pm \frac{24}{25}

Substitution property of equality if y=-5 and 7x+y=11, then____. A. 7(-5) + y=11 B.7x-5=11 C.7x+5=11 D.-5+y=11
jolli1 [7]
7x+y=11 where y= -5                                                                                              So, when we substitute y in the equation then,
7x + (-5) = 11 that is 7x - 5 = 11....
So, B. is the right answer.

If I have my mean mode median range so how can I construct a frequency table​
Ugo [173]

Answer:

To find the mean, multiply the values by frequencies, add the subtotals, and divide by the total number of the frequency. Median : To find the median, calculate a running total of the frequencies, which is half the total, it contains the median that corresponds to the value.
