$x-children\\\\y-adults\\\\ \left \{ {{x+y=44\ \ -->x=44-y} \atop {3*x+5*y=168}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } \right. \\\\
Substitution\ method\ \\\\3(44-y)+5y=168\\\\132-3y+5y=168\\\\2y=168-132\\\\2y=36 \ \ |:2\\\y=18\\\x=44-y=44-18=26\\\\There \ were\ 26\ children.$

Find the value of sin(a/2) if cosa= 12/13<br>

daser333 [38]

Answer: sin $\frac{a}{2}$ = ± $\frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We very well know that,

cos2A=1−2sin²A

⟹ sinA = ± $\sqrt{(1-} \frac{cos2A}{2} )$

As required, set A = $\frac{a}{2}$ & cos a= $\frac{12}{13}$ ,thus we get

sin $\frac{a}{2}$ =± $\sqrt{\frac{1-cos a}{2} }$

∴ sin $\frac{a}{2}$ =± $\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{12}{13} }{2} }$ = ± $\frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }$

since ,360° < $\frac{a}{2}$ <450°

,180° < $\frac{a}{2}$ <225°

Now, we are to select the value with the correct sign. It's is obvious from the above constraints that the angle a/2 lies in the III-quadrant where 'sine' has negative value, thus the required value is negative.

hope it helped!
