Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving trig equations are just like solving "regular" equations. Let's get to it. First and foremost we are going to make a "u" substitution. You'll use that all the time in calculus, if you choose to go that route. Let

sin^2 \theta=u^2 and sinθ = u. Making the substitution, the equation becomes:

2u^2-u-1=0

That looks like something that can be factored, right? If you throw it into the quadratic formula you get the factors:

(u - 1)(2u + 1) = 0

By the Zero Product Property, either u - 1 = 0 or 2u + 1 = 0, so we will solve those, but not until after we back-substitute!

Putting sinθ back in for u:

sinθ - 1 = 0 so

sinθ = 1 and in the other equation:

2sinθ + 1 = 0 so

2sinθ = -1 and

sin\theta=-\frac{1}{2}

Get out the unit circle and look to where the sinθ has a value of 1. There's only one place in your interval, and it's at 90 degrees.

Now look to where the sinθ has a value of -1/2. There are 2 places within your interval, and those are at 210° and 330°. Now you're done!

Determine whether the given scale factor is a reduction or an
Margaret [11]

Answers:

  • Enlargement
  • The new larger rectangle is 16.8 inches by 8.4 inches

==============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming 7/5 is the scale factor. If so, notice how 7/5 = 1.4 which is larger than 1.

The scale factor being larger than 1 means we have an enlargement.

The image is going to be larger compared to the preimage.

The preimage rectangle is 12 in by 6 in. Multiply each dimension by 1.4 to get 12*1.4 = 16.8 and 6*1.4 = 8.4

The image rectangle is 16.8 inches by 8.4 inches
