Sin angle that equals the 1/2 value is the 30 degree on the 1st Quadrant.

The angle of 30 degree on the 3rd Quadrant is equivalent to (formula and circle in the 1st photo) 180 + 30 = 210°.

So theta = 210° (3rd Quadrant) = 30° (1st Quadrant).

$cos \: 30\degree = \sqrt{3} \div 2$

Now just transfer the cos 30° to the 3rd Quadrant and the signal will be negative (as shown in the 2nd photo attached).

$cos \: 210 \degree = - \sqrt{3} \div 2$

What is the slope of the line?

avanturin [10]

3/4 To find the slope of a line you need to do rise/run. you find two solid points meaning find two points are exactly on a intersection. Then you count up how much it needs to the point then count across to the next point

Quick please I really need this

Answer:

y = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

550 x $\pi$ = $\pi$ $r^{2}$ x 11 + y

550 x $\frac{7}{22}$ = $\frac{7}{22}$ x 11 x 11 + y

550 x $\frac{7}{22}$ x $\frac{22}{7}$ = 11 x 11 + y

550 = 11 x 11 + y

$\frac{550}{11}$ = $\frac{11}{11}$ x 11 + y

50 = 11 + y

50 - 11 = y

39 = y

Whats a linear function

slega [8]

Answer:

A Linear Function is any function that graphs to any straight line. It can be consist of one or 2 or more variables but the degree or the exponent value of the variable shouldn't be greater than 1. it can be 0 but not greater than one .

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= y= a +bx , is the example of linear fucntion where the variable x has the exponent value of 1 ,

but the function f(x)= y= a+bx^2 is not a linear function because the exponent value of variable x is 2 .

Also if the Value of Exponent of the variable is in negative, that will be also a non linear function .
