To solve the the question we proceed as follows:
From trigonometric laws
(cos x)^2+(sin x)^2=1
(cos y)^2+(sin y)^2=1
sin (x-y)=sin x sin y-sin y cos x
cos (x-y)=cos x cos y+ sin x sin y
si  x=8/17
cos x=sqrt(1-(sin x)^2)=sqrt(1-64/289)=sqrt(225/289)=15/17
cos y=3/5
sin x= sqrt(1- (cos x)^2)= sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
thus
tan (x-y)=[sin (x-y)]/[cos (x-y)]
=[sin x cos y-sin y cos x]/[cos x cos y+sin x sin y]
plugging in the values we obtain:
[8/17 *3/5-4/5*15/7]/[15/17*3/5+8/17*4/5]
simplifying
[24/85-60/85]/[45/85+32/85]
=-36/77

find the measure of the arc or angle indicated. assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of alternate segment theorem,

"Angle formed between the tangent and the chord in a circle measures the half of the measure of the intercepted arc"

m(∠EFG) = \frac{1}{2} × m(minor arc FG)

minor arc FG = 2m(∠EFG)

                      = 2(76°)

                      = 152°

Therefore, Option (1) will be the correct option.

Jim will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $ 59 and costs an addi
AveGali [126]

Answer:This problem is about linear equations. We assume Dale drive X miles, and the total cost is $Y, then we can get:

Plan I: Y=38+0.11X

Plan II: Y=49+0.07X

When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25
