Answer:

<h2>-1/5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at -3/5 you need to subtract -2/5.

When you subtract a negative number, the sign flips and you add instead. Often, you are taught that two similar signs means add and two opposite signs mean minus.

<em>+ + = +</em>

<em>- - = -</em>

<em>+ - = -</em>

<em>- + = -</em>

<em />

This means -3/5 - -2/5 becomes -3/5 + 2/5.

Because you are adding, you move two lines to the right on the number line.

You end at -1/5.

Given: sin ∅= 4/5 and cos x = -5/13 ; evaluate the following expression.<br><br> tan( ∅ - x )
Pavlova-9 [17]

By definition of tangent,

tan(θ - x) = sin(θ - x) / cos(θ - x)

Expand the sine and cosine terms using the angle sum identities,

sin(x ± y) = sin(x) cos(y) ± cos(x) sin(y)

cos(x ± y) = cos(x) cos(y) ∓ sin(x) sin(y)

from which we get

tan(θ - x) = (sin(θ) cos(x) - cos(θ) sin(x)) / (cos(θ) cos(x) + sin(θ) sin(x))

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

from which we have two possible values for each of cos(θ) and sin(x):

cos(θ) = ± √(1 - sin²(θ)) = ± 3/5

sin(x) = ± √(1 - cos²(x)) = ± 12/13

Since there are 2 choices each for cos(θ) and sin(x), we'll have 4 possible values of tan(θ - x) :

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -56/33

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 16/63

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -16/63

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 56/33

A certain dodgeball court is a circle with a square perfectly inscribed inside it. the square represents the playing field, whil
cluponka [151]
<span>Exactly 8*pi - 16
 Approximately 9.132741229 For this problem, we need to subtract the area of the square from the area of the circle. In order to get the area of the circle, we need to calculate its radius, which will be half of its diameter. And the diameter will be the length of the diagonal for the square. And since the area of the square is 16, that means that each side has a length of 4. And the Pythagorean theorem will allow us to easily calculate the diagonal. So: sqrt(4^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(16 + 16) = sqrt(32) = 4*sqrt(2) Therefore the radius of the circle is 2*sqrt(2). And the area of the circle is pi*r^2 = pi*(2*sqrt(2)) = pi*8 So the area of the rest areas is exactly 8*pi - 16, or approximately 9.132741229</span>

Factor c^2 −64. Is this a special product?<br> PLS HELP
laila [671]
C^2-64 is a square roots factoring one. you take the square root of c^2 which is c and then the square root of 64 which is 8 or -8 so the answer is (c-8)(c+8). and it is a special product

Y=1/3x+4 going through the point (9,-2)
Art [367]
Substitute x=9 and y=-2 into equation,
Left hand side=-2
Right hand side=1/3(9)+4= 3+4=7

Because LHS doesn’t = with RHS, the point (9,-2) doesn’t satisfy with the equation

Therefore the point doesn’t go through y=1/3x +4.
