Write 4 feet to 15 inches as a ratio. Compare in inches. Write the ratio in lowest terms.

1 answer:

8 0

1 ft = 12 inches....so 4 ft = (4 * 12) = 48 inches

ratio is : 48 to 15...or 48/15 or 48:15......which reduces to 16/5 in lowest terms

<em>The right answer for:</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The cosine function is an even function, which means that for every point $(x,y)$ on the graph of $y=cos(x)$ then the point $(-x,y)$ also lies on the graph of the function. In other words, we can write:

$cos(-170^{\circ})=cos(170^{\circ})$

But:

$170^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-10^{\circ}$

So:

$cos(170^{\circ})=cos(180^{\circ}-10^{\circ})$

By property:

$cos(a-b)=cosacosb+sinasinb \\ \\ a=180^{\circ} \\ \\ b=10^{\circ} \\ \\ cos(170^{\circ} )=cos(180^{\circ} -10^{\circ})=cos180^{\circ} cos10^{\circ} +sin180^{\circ} sin10^{\circ} \\ \\ cos(170^{\circ})=-cos(10^{\circ})+0 \\ \\ \boxed{cos(170^{\circ})=-cos(10^{\circ})}$
