of this function?

Remark
The point value is (-2,5) So we know the two sides. We need the hypotenuse. We should notice that the x value is minus (-2) and value is y value is plus (5). That means we are in quad 2. Be careful how you read that. (-2,5) is a point. It is not a tangent.

Step One 
Find the hypotenuse.

a = - 2
b = 5
c =  ??

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (-2)^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 4 + 25
c^2 = 29               Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(29)
c = sqrt(29)

Step Two
Find the Cosine of the angle.
Cosine(theta) = adjacent / hypotenuse
Cosine(theta) = -2 / sqrt(29)  <<<<<<< Answer

Again, watch out for what you are given.

There are two colored marbles and one white marble in a box. Julie mixes the marbles and then Sam draws two marbles at random wi
tino4ka555 [31]
At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.

adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.

adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?
ivanzaharov [21]
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula. 
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C. 
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space. 
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
