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}

I am Lyosha [343]
The medium sized orange would have 62 calories. To divide by 1/5, which in decimal form is 0.2, you just multiply 310 by 0.2, therefore, giving you 62. Hope this helps!

Westkost [7]

Answer:

1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

start by subtracting 2.6 and 4 you'll get -1.4 dont mind the negative because it doesn't matter, and now you add 1.4 to each number and that's how you get the next number. like 1.4+5.4=6.8 and 1.4+6.8=8.2, and so on.

Find the domain of f(x) = Square 3 x + 8 ​
vagabundo [1.1K]

The question is a bit ambiguous: you may mean

\sqrt{3x+8}

or

\sqrt{3x}+8

Anyway, in both cases, the domain of a function involving a square root is found by imposing the content of the root to be greateer than or equal to zero. So, in the first case you have

3x+8\geq 0 \iff 3x\geq -8 \iff x\geq -\dfrac{8}{3}

In the second case, you have

3x\geq 0 \iff x\geq 0
