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.

-5=x/3-8 plz someone help me plz
Flura [38]
Isolate x by adding 8 to both sides.
3 = x/3
Then, multiply by 3 on both sides.
9 = x
To prove that this is right, you can imput 9 into the equation and it equals -5.

2. Find the x and y<br> intercepts:<br> y = 1/2x+4
lawyer [7]

Answer:

y intercept = 4

x intercept = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = x/2 + 4

-4 = x/2

-8 = x

y=mx+b

y = 1/2x+4

Y intercept = b, b= 4
