The equation for cosine is cos(x)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse
The inside trig function is arccos(3/5), which means cos(x)=3/5. Comparing cos(x)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse with cos(x)=3/5

Find Adjacent=3 and Hypotenuse=5.
Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, find Opposite=?
a² = c² - b²
a² = 5² - 3² = 25 - 9 = 16
a = √16 = 4

Adjacent=3Opposite=4Hypotenuse=5

Plug in the value for sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(x) = 4/5

Luke earned $36,000 during the first year of his job at Putt-Putt Kingdom. After each year he received a 10% raise. Find his tot

Lady_Fox [76]

In order to solve this problem, you need to use a geometric series:
$S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1 - r^{n}) }{1 - r}$
where:
a₁ = first term of the series = 36000
r = common rate = 10% raise, therefore 1.10
n = number of terms = 5

Therefore,
 $S_{n} = \frac{ 36000(1 - 1.10^{5}) }{1 - 1.10}$
= 219783.60 $

Luke's total earnings in five years are 219783.60 $.

The equation r = 6t gives the number of albums released, r, by a record label over time in years, t. If you graph this relations

GalinKa [24]

R = 6t.....subbing in (8,48).....t = 8 and r = 48
48 = 6(8)
48 = 48 (correct)

r = 6t...subbing in (13,78)...t = 13 and r = 78
78 = 6(13)
78 = 78 (correct)

so u have 2 sets of points on this line and they are (8,48) and (13,78)
