E. 1/2
With trig functions, multiple x values correspond with the same y value.
Using an initial x value (the principle value), we can find other x values for the same y value, this is what we are are being asked to find in this question.
There are slightly different ways to find these x values (also known as solutions) for each of the basic trig functions.
The x values are in degrees for the basic trig functions.
For cosine, the rule is as follows:
360 - principle value;
this will give what I, personally, like to think of as a secondary principle value (this value is not actually recognised as a secondary principle value, I just like to think of it as such). Anyway, all other solutions can the be found by adding or substrating any integer multiple of 360 to/from the PV and 'secondary PV'.

For your question:
cos60 = 1/2
60 is the x value (PV)
so...
360 - 60 = 300 is the 'secondary PV'
Just to be clear, this means that if I were to find the cos300, I would get 1/2.

That is sufficient for explaining the answer to this particular question but if you wanted to find any other solution, you would just have to do either:
60 + or - n(360)
or...
300 + or - n(360),
where n = any integer

On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday. On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday. Over the thre
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of sales on Monday

We are given that On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x

We are also given that On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x

Over the three days, he had a total of 728 sales

So, x+3x+9x=728

13x=728

x=\frac{728}{13}

x=56

Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x =3(56)=168

Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x=9(56)=504

Hence Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.

URGENT! PLEASE HELP.
uysha [10]

Answer: a) BC = 1386.8 ft

b) CD = 565.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the triangle,

AD = BD + 7600

BD = AD - 7600

Considering triangle BCD, we would apply the the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 24 = CD/BD = CD/(AD - 700)

0.445 = CD/(AD - 700)

CD = 0.445(AD - 700)

CD = 0.445AD - 311.5 - - - - - - - -1

Considering triangle ADC,

Tan 16 = CD/AD

CD = ADtan16 = 0.287AD

Substituting CD = 0.287AD into equation 1, it becomes

CD = 0.445AD - 311.5

0.287AD = 0.445AD - 311.5

0.445AD - 0.287AD = 311.5

0.158AD = 311.5

AD = 311.5/0.158

AD = 1971.52

CD = 0.287AD = 0.287 × 1971.52

CD = 565.8 ft

To determine BC, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 24 = CD/BC

BC = CD/Sin24 = 565.8/0.408

BC = 1386.8 ft
