How do you estimate 175.32 ÷ 3 =

Mathematics

Answer:

≈ 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.

Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.

You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.

_____

The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.

What's X? to: <br> 15x - 7x = (-52) - 5x

Studentka2010 [4]

-4

Because 15x-7x= 8x
8x+5x= 13x
13x= -52
-52 / 13= -4
x = -4

find the values of the six trigonometric functions for angle theta in standard position if a point with the coordinates (1, -8)

frutty [35]

Answer:

cosФ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}$ , sinФ = $-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}$ , tanФ = -8, secФ = $\sqrt{65}$ , cscФ = $-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}$ , cotФ = $-\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position, then the six trigonometry functions are:

cosФ = $\frac{x}{r}$
sinФ = $\frac{y}{r}$
tanФ = $\frac{y}{x}$
secФ = $\frac{r}{x}$
cscФ = $\frac{r}{y}$
cotФ = $\frac{x}{y}$

Where r = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$ (the length of the terminal side from the origin to point (x, y)

You should find the quadrant of (x, y) to adjust the sign of each function

∵ Point (1, -8) lies on the terminal side of angle Ф in standard position

∵ x is positive and y is negative

→ That means the point lies on the 4th quadrant

∴ Angle Ф is on the 4th quadrant

∵ In the 4th quadrant cosФ and secФ only have positive values

∴ sinФ, secФ, tanФ, and cotФ have negative values

→ let us find r

∵ r = $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} }$

∵ x = 1 and y = -8

∴ r = $\sqrt{x} \sqrt{(1)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}=\sqrt{1+64}=\sqrt{65}$

→ Use the rules above to find the six trigonometric functions of Ф

∵ cosФ = $\frac{x}{r}$

∴ cosФ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{65}}$

∵ sinФ = $\frac{y}{r}$

∴ sinФ = $-\frac{8}{\sqrt{65}}$

∵ tanФ = $\frac{y}{x}$

∴ tanФ = $-\frac{8}{1}$ = -8

∵ secФ = $\frac{r}{x}$

∴ secФ = $\frac{\sqrt{65}}{1}$ = $\sqrt{65}$

∵ cscФ = $\frac{r}{y}$

∴ cscФ = $-\frac{\sqrt{65}}{8}$

∵ cotФ = $\frac{x}{y}$

∴ cotФ = $-\frac{1}{8}$

The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is _____________.

a_sh-v [17]

They are the same slope

they are negative inversees (they multily to get -1)

2

-1/2

use the square viewer (on TI)

The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are parallel is they are the same. The relationship between the slopes of two lines that are perpendicular is they are negative inverses of each other (they multiply to -1).
A line that is parallel to a line whose slope is 2 has slope 2.
A line that is perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2 has slope -1/2.

What must be done to make the graphs of two perpendicular lines appear to intersect at right angles when they are graphed using a graphing utility?
