Value of cos^2 (48) - sin^2 (12)?

The value of that <span>(√5 + 1)/8 and We can prove it like this:
</span>cos 2A= 2cos^2 A-1=1-2sin^2 A 
<span>so cos^2 48 – sin^2 12 </span>
<span>=(1/2)(1+cos 96) - (1/2)(1-cos24) </span>
<span>=(1/2)(cos 96 +cos 24) and using cos(A)+cosB)=2cos((A+B)/2)cos((A-B)/2) </span>
<span>=cos60cos36 </span>
<span>=(1/2)cos36 </span>
<span>and you have to find cos36. </span>
<span>Suppose 5x=180, then </span>
<span>cos(5x)=cos(180) then x=-180,-108, -36, 36, 108 </span>
<span>Also 3x=180-2x </span>
<span>so cos(3x)=cos(180-2x)=-cos2x </span>
<span>so 4cos^3(x) -3cos(x)=1 - 2cos^2(x) </span>
<span>giving 4c^3+2c^2 - 3c-1=0 where c=cosx </span>
<span>c=-1 is a root and factorizing gives </span>
<span>(c+1)(4c^2-2c-1)=0 </span>
<span>so 4c^-2c-1=0 giving </span>
<span>c=(2±√20)/8=(1±√5)/4 and these have values cos(36) and cos(108) </span>
<span>the positive root is therefore cos(36)=(1+√5)/4 </span>
<span>and the required value (1/2)cos(36)=(1+√5)/8
</span>I think this can be very useful

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line 4x+7y=9?​
o-na [289]

Answer: -4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, let's change the equation to slope-intercept form.

4x+7y=9              [subtract both sides by 4x]

7y=-4x+9           [divide both sides by 7]

y=-\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{9}{7}

Now, we know the slope is -4/7.

Use the multiplier method to decrease £27 by 8%. You must show your working.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

decrease by 2.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.

P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.

Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.

How do I find the mass of 250.0mL
kupik [55]

Answer:

  mass = density · volume

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of a given volume, multiply your given volume by the <em>density</em>. Often, density is given in grams per cubic centimeter. 1 cubic centimeter is the same as 1 milliliter.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!<br> Make sure you show all your work for full points. What is o?
Pie

Answer:

  o = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle sum theorem tells you the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. The definition of a linear pair tells you the two angles of a linear pair total 180°. Together, these relations tell you that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

In this geometry, the angle marked 78° is exterior to the left-side triangle. That means ...

  78° = o° +24°

  o° = 78° -24° = 54°

The value of 'o' is 54.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

n° is the supplement of 78°, so is 102°.

m° is the difference between 102° and 22°, so is 80°.
