Answer:   \bold{-\dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that θ is between 270° and 360°, which means that θ is located in Quadrant IV ⇒ (x > 0, y < 0).  Furthermore, the half-angle will be between 135° and 180°, which means the half-angle is in Quadrant II ⇒ cos\ \dfrac{\theta}{2}

It is given that sin θ = -\dfrac{7}{25}  ⇒  y = -7 & hyp = 25

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find "x":

x² + y² = hyp²

x² + (-7)² = 25²

x² + 49 = 625

x²         = 576

      x   =  24    

Use the "x" and "hyp" values to find cos θ:

cos\ \theta=\dfrac{x}{hyp}=\dfrac{24}{25}    


Lastly, input cos θ into the half angle formula:

cos\bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{2}\bigg)=\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+cos\ \theta}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{25}{25}+\dfrac{24}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{49}{25}}{2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{49}{50}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7}{5\sqrt2}}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \quad =\pm \dfrac{7\sqrt2}{10}

Reminder: We previously determined that the half-angle will be negative.

Which expressions are completely factored? Select each correct answer. 30a6−24a2=3a2(10a4−8) 16a5−20a3=4a3(4a2−5) 12a3+8a=4(3a3+
irinina [24]

When factoring an expression, we need to identify the Greatest Common Factor of the expression (GCF). By definition, GCF is the product of prime factors involved with its Lowest Exponent.

We need to divide each term by the GCF to get the expression inside the parenthesis.

30a^6-24a^2\\ GCF\; is \; 6a^2\\ \\ 30a^6-24a^2=6a^2(\frac{3a^6}{6a^2} -\frac{24a^2}{6a^2} )=6a^2(5a^4-4)\\ ---------------------\\ \\ 16a^5-20a^3\\ GCF \; is \; 4a^3\\ \\ 16a^5-20a^3=4a^3(\frac{16a^5}{4a^3} -\frac{20a^3}{4a^3})=4a^3(4a^2-5) \\ ---------------------\\ \\ 12a^3+8a\\ GCF \; is \; 4a\\ \\ 12a^3+8a=4a(\frac{12a^3}{4a}+\frac{8a}{4a})=4a(3a^2+2)\\   ---------------------\\ 24a^4+18\\GCF \; is \; 6\\\\24a^4+18=6(\frac{24a^4}{6} +\frac{18}{6})=6(4a^4+3) \\    ---------------------

Conclusion:

From above we can conclude that the below expressions are factored completely

16a^5-20a^3=4a^3(4a^2-5)\\ \\ 24a^4+18=6(4a^4+3)

How do I factor completely 8y^2+4y-6ay-3a
Papessa [141]

Answer:

(2y+1)(4y+3a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expresion is:

8 {y}^{2}  + 4y - 6ay - 3a

We need to factor by grouping.

4y(2y + 1) - 3a(2y + 1)

(2y + 1)(4y - 3a)

Now we cannot factorize further.

Therefore the complete factorization of the given expresion is (2y+1)(4y-3a)
