Answer:

36 °

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a rectangular triangle is formed so we can use the trigonometric functions to calculate the angle, they give us the value of the two legs, therefore we can apply the tangent function.

Tan A ° = opposite / adjacent

replacing:

Tan A ° = 50/68

Tan A ° = 0.735

A ° = arc tan (0.735)

A ° = 36.32

Which means that the angle of inclination is 36°

Ty has 230 pages of text to
Alona [7]
The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
                      20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.

Simplify: (sin θ − cos θ)^2 − (sin θ + cos θ)^2 A) −4sin(θ)cos(θ) B) 2 C) sin^2 θ D) cos^2 θ
N76 [4]

Answer:

-4sinθcosθ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

1. (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

2. (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

3. sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1

(sinθ -cosθ)^2 - (sinθ + cosθ)^2

= sin^2θ - 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ - (sin^2θ + 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ)

= sin^2θ + cos^2θ - 2sinθcosθ - (sin^2θ + cos^2θ + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1 - 2sinθcosθ - (1 + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1- 2sinθcosθ -1 - 2sinθcosθ

= - 2sinθcosθ - 2sinθcosθ

= -4sinθcosθ
