_______________


Let  \mathsf{\theta=cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right).}


\mathsf{0\le \theta\le\pi,}  because that is the range of the inverse cosine funcition.


Also,

\mathsf{cos\,\theta=cos\!\left[cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right]}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{5}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{5\,cos\,\theta=4}


Square both sides and apply the fundamental trigonometric identity:

\mathsf{(5\,cos\,\theta)^2=4^2}\\\\
\mathsf{5^2\,cos^2\,\theta=4^2}\\\\
\mathsf{25\,cos^2\,\theta=16\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{25\cdot (1-sin^2\,\theta)=16}

\mathsf{25-25\,sin^2\,\theta=16}\\\\
\mathsf{25-16=25\,sin^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{9=25\,sin^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{9}{25}}


\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{3^2}{5^2}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{3}{5}}


But \mathsf{0\le \theta\le\pi,} which means \theta lies either in the 1st or the 2nd quadrant. So \mathsf{sin\,\theta} is a positive number:

\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}}\\\\\\
\therefore~~\mathsf{sin\!\left[cos^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{4}{5}\right)\right]=\dfrac{3}{5}\qquad\quad\checkmark}


I hope this helps. =)

The answer to this is no solution because it is in simplest form. 

3x²-x+1 and 2x²+5x-4 can not be factored anymore. The expression given was in simplest form and could not be factored anymore. A trinomial expression is the form of ax²+bx+c. Factoring trinomials help you to put the equation in simplest form.

I hope this helps!!!!!
