Answer:

3.5 seconds, B

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an upside down parabola, a function that is extremetly useful in helping us to understand position and velocity and time and how they are all related.  Her upwards velocity is 16 ft/sec and she starts from a height of 140 feet, according to the problem.  The h is the height she ends up at after a certain amount of time has gone by.  You want to know how long it will take her to hit the water.  When she hits the water, she has no more height.  Therefore, her height above the water when she hits the water is 0.  Plug in a 0 for h and factor the quadratic to get t = -2.5 seconds and t = 3.5 seconds.  The only two things in math that will never ever be negative is a distance measure and time, so we can disregard the -2.5 and go with 3.5 seconds as our answer.

Tan theta is equal to 2- cos theta find the value of sin theta​
artcher [175]

Answer:

sqrt(2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tan(x)=2-cot(x), find sin(x).

Rewrite in terms of sine and cosine:

sin(x)/cos(x)=2-cos(x)/sin(x)

Multiply both sides by cos(x)sin(x):

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-cos^2(x)

Rewrite cos^2(x) using the identity sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1:

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-(1-sin^2(x))

Distribute:

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-1+sin^2(x)

Subtracting sin^2(x) on both sides:

0=2sin(x)cos(x)-1

Add 1 on both sides:

1=2sin(x)cos(x)

Use identity sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x) to rewrite right:

1=sin(2x)

Since sin(pi/2)=1, then 2x=pi/2.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives x=pi/4.

So sin(pi/4)=sqrt(2)/2

5/9 on a number line
finlep [7]

Given:

The number is \dfrac{5}{9}.

To find:

The location of the given number on a number line.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{5}{9}

Here 0, so 0.

Mark 8 equidistant small lines between 0 to 1 on the number line to divide the number line in 9 equal parts. Then, the 5th mark represent the value  \dfrac{5}{9}.

The location of number \dfrac{5}{9} on a number line is shown below.
