Answer: 336

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of runners = 8

The number of positions = 3

Since for awarding prize, the order of winners matters.

So by permutations ,the number of possible ways to award 3 prizes will be

^8P_3=\dfrac{8!}{(8-3)!}=8\times7\times6=336

Therefore , the total number of ways by which runners finish in first, second, and third place is 336.

Answer:

1) tanФ = 0.8392 ⇒ 2nd answer

2) cosФ = 20/29 ⇒ 3rd answer

3) cosФ = -√2/2 , cotФ = -1 ⇒ first answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first check the quadrant of the angle

∵ 180° < Ф < 270°

∴ Ф lies on the third quadrant

* Remember in the 3rd quadrant tanФ and cotФ only positive

∵ sinФ ≅ -0.7660

∵ tan²Ф = sec²Ф - 1

∵ secФ = 1/sinФ

∵ secФ = 1/-0.7660

∴ sec²Ф = (1/-0.7660)²

* Substitute this value in the equation

∴ tan²Ф = (1/-0.7660)² - 1 = 0.70428594 ⇒ take √ for both sides

∴ tanФ ≅ ± 0.8392

∵ Ф lies on the 3rd quadrant

∴ tanФ = 0.8392

* At first check the quadrant of the angle

∵ 0° < Ф < 90°

∴ Ф lies on the first quadrant

* Remember in the 1st quadrant all are positive

∵ sinФ = 21/29

∵ sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1

∴ (21/29)² + cos²Ф = 1 ⇒ subtract (21/29)² from both sides

∴ cos²Ф = 1 - (21/29)² = 400/841 ⇒ take √ in both sides

∴ cosФ = ± 20/29

* Because Ф lies in the 1st quadrant

∴ cosФ = 20/29

* Remember that when the point is at the terminal side of angle Ф

∴ Its x-coordinate is cosФ

∴ Its y-coordinate is sinФ

* The point is (-√2/2 , √2/2)

∵ x-coordinate is negative ad y-coordinate is positive

∴ the point is on the 2nd quadrant

∴ 90° < Ф < 180°

∴ The values of sinФ and cscФ only positive

* From previous we know that:

∴ cosФ = -√2/2

∴ sinФ = √2/2

∵ cotФ = cosФ/sinФ

∴ cotФ = -√2/2 ÷ √2/2 = -√2/2 × 2/√2 = -√2/√2 = -1

* cosФ = -√2/2 , cotФ = -1

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a + 56.75 = 76.75

Step-by-step explanation:

that is because ,money raised on first day(a) + money raised on second day = 76.75

that gives us,  a = $20
