Answer:

16.86°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the value for sin(a) = 0.29, we need to find the angle, in this case, a, whose sin(a) = 0.29.

In other words, we need to find <em>the inverse function</em> for the function in question.

In this case, the inverse function of <em>sin(x)</em> is <em>arcsin(x) </em>(which is also commonly known as \\ sin^{-1}(x)).

So, for \\ sin(a) = 0.29, we can find the function \\ sin^{-1}(x) in a digital calculator, or asking WolframAlpha in Internet, so we have that \\ sin^{-1}(0.29)=16.86 degrees (°).

In fact, we can check this result for a = 16.86°:\\ sin(16.86) = 0.29.

In other words, we found that 16.86° is the <em>angle in degrees</em> whose \\ sin(16.86) = 0.29.

<u>One word of caution</u>: we need to be careful about if we are using <em>degrees</em>  (known for this symbol ° ) or <em>radians</em> when calculating <em>angles</em>.

In the past, people were used to consult large tables with values for \\ sin(x), cos(x), tan(x) and so on, and looking for the <em>angle</em> that generated such a value of \\ sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), respectively.

There are many other cases in which we have inverse functions, for example, logartithm is the inverse function of exponential function.

How do you solve this as a solution 9(2 + 3x) &lt; 72
laila [671]

Answer:

x <2

Step-by-step explanation:

9(2 + 3x) < 72

Divide each side by 9

9/9 *(2 + 3x) < 72/9

2+3x < 8

Subtract 2 from each side

2+3x-2 < 8-2

3x<6

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 <6/3

x <2

An 80-foot rope from the top of a tree house to the ground forms a 45° angle of elevation from the ground. How high is the top o
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

56.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOH = opp/hyp

Where θ = 45°

Hpy = 80m

Opp = ?

Sin θ = opp/hpy

Sin 45 = opp/ 80

Sin 45 × 80 = opp

0.7071 × 80 = opp

Opp = 56.568

~ 56.6m

Hence the height of the top of the tree is 56.6m
