Answer:

\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • \cos( \alpha )  =  \frac{ad}{hip}  \\  \\  \sin( \alpha )  =  \frac{op}{hip}

Pythagorean theorem

hip² = op² + ad²

17² = x² + 8²

x² = 17² - 8²

x \:  =  \sqrt{{17}^{2}  -  {8}^{2} }  \\ x =  \sqrt{289 - 64}  \\ x =  \sqrt{225}  \\ x = 15

\sin( \alpha )  =   - \frac{15}{17}

\sin( -  \alpha )  =  \frac{15}{17}

Solutions 

1) Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions. 

\frac{17}{5}+ \frac{11}{5}

= ((17 * 5) + (11 * 5)) / (5 * 5)

= (85 + 55) / 25

= 140/25

= 28/5

A student dropped a textbook from the top floor of his dorm and it fell according to the formula s(t) = −16t 2 + 8√t , where t i
Sidana [21]

Answer:

<h2>-29.61m/s</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance of fall of the student in term of the time t expressed by the equation s(t) = −16t² + 8√t, to get the average speed of fall of the pencil after 2.8 secs, we will need to differentiate the given function first since Velocity is the change in distance of a body with respect to time i.e

V = d(s(t))/dt

s(t) = −16t² + 8t^1/2

V = -32t+1/2(8)t^(1/2 - 1)

V = -32t+4t^-1/2

The average speed of the fall Using the fact that the pencil hit the ground in exactly 2.8 seconds, will be gotten by substituting t = 2.8 into the resulting equation.

V = -32t+4(2.8)^-1/2

V = -32t+4/√2.8

V = -32+4/1.6733

V = -32+2.391

v = -29.61m/s

<em>Hence the average speed of the fall is -29.61m/s</em>

Did you mean the Pythagorean theorem? If so I believe that the answer would be that the Pythagorean theorem is used any time there is a right triangle.
