First way
arcsin(1/4) means that 1/4 sin of the angle.

sin(α)=1/4
sin²α+cos²α=1
(1/4)²+cos²α=1
cos²α=1-1/16 =15/16
cosα=+/-(√15)/4

<span>Second way
</span>
sin(α)=1/4 =opposite leg/hipotenuse
cos(α)=adjacent leg/hypothenuse
adjacent leg =√(hypotenuse²- Opposite²)=√(16-1)=√15
cosα=+/-√15/4

For one value of sinα, possible 2 values of cosα.

It’s the second one because 0.5 is like 50% then 3/4 is like 75 and then the other is simply 80%

3 Fred is making a fruit salad. The ratio

marusya05 [52]

Answer: 24 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches that Fred will need to make 60 cups of fruit salad.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:

$2:3$

Which can also be written as a fraction:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}$

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(60)(\frac{2}{5})=x\\\\x=24$

Solve the inequality and enter your solution as an inequality comparing the variable to a number X + 24 > 67

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

X > 43

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is given by :

X + 24 > 67

We need to solve the inequality.

Subtract 24 from both sides of the inequality.

X + 24 -24 > 67 - 24

X > 43

So, the solution of the inequality is more than 43.
