Mhm, absolutely. Notice that we do not have a common unit circle value for any division of 8. But we do have a value for is 7pi/4. Now in order to actually get the value of 7pi/8, we use a half angle formula. So what we do is we will write out the formula and plug 7pi/4 into that formula, this will give us the value of 7pi/8. So the formula we need to plug 7pi/4 into is this: <span>±<span><span><span>1+cos2θ</span>2</span><span>−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span></span><span>SO if you plug in 7pi/4 for theta in that formula, you think you could simplify it to find 7pi/8?</span>

Cos²(7pi/8)

cos²(7π/8)

But π radians = 180°

7π/8 = 7*180/8 = 157.5°

cos²(7π/8) = cos²(157.5°) = (cos(157.5))²

cos 157.5 = - cos(180 - 157.5)            Second quadrant angle

  cos 157.5     =  -cos22.5

  cos²157.5     =  cos²22.5.....................(a)


Note:  cos2θ= 2cos²θ - 1              Trigonometric Identity

cos45 = 2cos²(45/2) - 1

cos45 = 2cos²22.5 - 1            cos 45 = √2/2

√2/2 =  2cos²22.5 - 1

 √2/2 + 1 = 2cos²22.5

 2cos²22.5 = √2/2 + 1

  cos²22.5 = (√2/2 + 1)/2           

Recall equation (a)

cos²157.5     =  cos²22.5.....................(a)

cos²157.5     =  cos²22.5 = (√2/2 + 1)/2

Therefore cos²(7pi/8) = cos²157.5     =  cos²22.5 = (√2/2 + 1)/2
 
Hope this explains it.

Suppose that Fx) = x3 and G(x) = -2x2. Which statement best compares the
Rudiy27

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

you can just find the value of y and try some number of x

i.e. if x = 0, both of them will be 0

x = 1

G(x) result is -2

F(x) result is 1

x= -1

G(x) result will be 2

F(x) result is -1

so from these we can prove that G(x) is bigger graph than F(x) but flip vertically by y axis

Which triangle side lengths form a right triangle? Choose all that apply. 5, 6, 7 6, 8, 14 8, 15, 17 10, 12, 15 15, 20, 25 16, 1
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C. 8, 15, 17

E. 15, 20, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to take the 2 smaller numbers as in 8 and 15 square it, so 8x8= 64 and 15x15= 225 and then add 64+225= 289 and 17x17=289 so 289=289 ✔

Again square 15 and 20, 15x15=225 and 20x20=400 add them 225+400=625

and 25x25=625 so 625=625 ✔

Hope this helped and good luck!
