cos (θ + x) is 16/65

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1:

Given cos θ = -4/5, find sin θ.

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse = -4/5

The opposite side can be found using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse² = Opposite Side² + Adjacent Side²

⇒ Opposite side² = Hypotenuse² - Adjacent Side²

                             = 5² - (-4)² = 25 - 16 = 9

∴ Opposite Side = 3

⇒ sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse = 3/5

  • Step 2:

Given sin x = -12/13, find cos x.

sin x = opposite side/hypotenuse = -12/13

The adjacent side can be found using Pythagoras Theorem.

Hypotenuse² = Opposite Side² + Adjacent Side²

⇒ Adjacent side² = Hypotenuse² - Adjacent Side²

                             = 13² - (-12)² = 169 - 144 = 25

∴ Adjacent Side = 5

⇒ cos x = adjacent side/hypotenuse = 5/13

  • Step 3:

Find cos (θ + x).

cos (θ + x) = cos θ cos x - sin θ sin x

                 = -4/5 × 5/13 - 3/5 × -12/13

                 = -20/65 + 36/65 = 16/65

What is 20×40+3×9÷3+4
-Dominant- [34]
<span><span /><span>The answer to that problem is 813. When you are given a problem like this, you can answer it by using the MDAS technique. MDAS stands for multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Since you are following the MDAS technique, you are asked to answer the equation based on MDAS order. To put this simply, look at the example below:

     20x40+3x9/3+4
     800+3x9/3+4
     800+27/3+4
     800+9+4
     809+4
     813</span></span>  

You can clearly see the MDAS order by following the bold text.

What is the area of the figure ?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

70 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of square is 5×10=50 plus the square of triangle, high of triangle is 18-10=8 and base of triangle is 5 because it common base with square, so the square of triangle is 1/2(8)(5)=20

The total area is 50+20=70 cm^2

33) Given the graphs of f(x) = x - 1 and g(x) = -x - 7, what is the solution to the equation f(x) = g(x)?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is the point of intersection of the 2 lines

The lines intersect at (- 3, - 4 ), then

f(x) = g(x) has solution x = - 3

Which mathematical sentence most Accurately expresses the information in the problem below?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Don't quote me on this but it's probably C. 12c ≥ 88

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because he packages 88 eggs <em>into </em>cartons of 12.

88/12 is 7.33333... so it makes sense to have a greater or equal amount of eggs. If you multiply 7.333333... by 12, each additional 3 gets you closer to 88 so again, makes sense to have more.
