Answer:

.6601

Step-by-step explanation:

to find u, which we assume is an angle of course, we can take arctan of both sides. so arctan(-7.721) = -1.4420. this angle is in quadrant 4, but it is not in the range. In this instance you just go around the circle again, or add 2pi, which gets us 4.8412. You can check and you get the same answer if you take the tangent of either.

So now we have a number in the appropriate range in the appropriate quadrant. That means we have the correct angle. The question asks what is sine of that angle cut in half. so sin(4.8412/2), which gets you your answer. let em know if something didn't make sense.

Amuseumcharges forgeneraladmission and exhibitions. Admission and 3 exhibitionscosts $45. Admission and 5 exhibitionscosts $65.

leonid [27]

Answer:

The price of the admission is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

a+3e=45 (1)

a+5e=65 (2), where:

a is the admission cost

e is the exhibition cost

First, you can solve for a in (1):

a=45-3e (3)

Second, you can replace (3) in (2):

45-3e+5e=65

45+2e=65

2e=65-45

2e=20

e=20/2

e=10

Finally, you can replace the value of e in (3):

a=45-3e

a=45-3(10)

a=45-30

a=15

According to this, the price of the admission is 15.

A polygon has the following coordinates: A(3,1), B(5,3), C(2,5), D(-1,5), E(-4,3), F(-2,1). Find the length of DC.

nlexa [21]

To find the length of a line given two points, we are going to use the distance formula, which is defined below:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

( $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are the two points)

The points in this problem are (2, 5) and (-1, 5). We can find the distance of DC by substituting these values into the distance formula and simplifying, as shown below:

$D = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (5 - 5)^2$
