Remark
I can't imagine you having to solve this question any other way than by graphing it, if you are in middle school mathematics.

Step One
Go to Desmos. Input y = sin(A)*Cos(A) on the input bar.

Step Two
Check to see where the highest point is. It should be somewhere around 45 degrees or pi/4 which is 0.7854 on the x axis. 

Step Three 
On my graph, you can click on the greatest point on the red line. It should come back with (pi/4,0.5) That is the highest point between 0 and 90 degrees. Depending on what your graph looks like, there is another such point a (5*pi/4,0.5)

Note
The other responder did this question using Trigonometry. If you understand the answer, I would follow it. If not then this is another way to do it.

Use the trig identity
2*sin(A)*cos(A) = sin(2*A)
to get
sin(A)*cos(A) = (1/2)*sin(2*A)

So to find the max of sin(A)*cos(A), we can find the max of (1/2)*sin(2*A)

It turns out that sin(x) maxes out at 1 where x can be any expression you want. In this case, x = 2*A. 

So (1/2)*sin(2*A) maxes out at (1/2)*1 = 1/2 = 0.5

The greatest value of sin(A)*cos(A) is 1/2 = 0.5

Complete the table by writing the fraction as a decimal and as a percent
aniked [119]

Answer:

Decimal = 0.6

Percentage = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the fraction.

\frac{120}{200}  =  \frac{60}{100}  = 0.6

Hence the Decimal is 0.6

To express 120/200 in percentage , we have to multiply the fraction with 100.

\frac{120}{200}  \times 100 =  \frac{120}{2}  = 60\%

Hence the percentage value is 60%

Scientists measured the annual forest loss (in square kilometers) in Indonesia from 2000–2012. They found the regression line
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The slope of this line is 1021.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regression line has the following format:

y = b + ax

In which a is the slope, that is, how much y changes with a variation of a single unit in x.

In this problem, our line is:

forest loss=7500+1021x

In which x is the number of years after 2000.

So the slope of this line is 1021.

What is 0.4(5+2x)-0.5=3(0.3x+0.7) I've solved this but I'm not sure I got the right answer
BlackZzzverrR [31]
If you have a graphing calculator one way to know you are right is put the left side in Y1 and the right side in Y2 then hit 2nd trace and intersection then find the intersection and the X value is your answer. If you don't have a graphing calculator then I'm sorry
