For this question you would have to multiply the cost ( $9.99 ) by how many yards are being bought (17.4) this is fairly simple , whip out your calculator . The answer is $173.83

At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $2.00 each and neon tetras cost $2.15 each. If Ernesto bought 15 fish for a total cost o

So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras

Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish

Evaluate cos(sin^-1(4/5)

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: \: \theta = \sin^{ - 1} (\frac{4}{5}) \\ \\ \therefore \: \sin\theta = \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ \because \: { \cos}^{2} \theta =1 - { \sin}^{2} \theta \\ \\ \therefore \: { \cos}^{2} \theta = 1 - (\frac{4}{5} )^{2} \\ \\ = 1 - \frac{16}{25} \\ \\ = \frac{25 - 16}{25} \\ \\ = \frac{9}{25} \\ \\ \therefore \:{ \cos}\theta = \pm \: \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ \because \: \theta \: lie \: in \: the \: first \: quadrant \\ \\ \therefore \: { \cos}\theta = \: \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ \implies \theta = { \cos}^{ -1 } \: \frac{3}{5}\\\\\implies \theta = { \cos}^{ -1 } \: \frac{3}{5}= { \sin}^{ -1 } \: \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ \therefore \: \cos( \ {sin}^{ - 1} \frac{4}{5} ) \\ \\ = \cos( \ {cos}^{ - 1} \frac{3}{5} ) \\\\ = \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \cos( \ {sin}^{ - 1} \frac{4}{5} ) = \frac{3}{5}}}$
