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.

How might snakes running out of food affect other organisms such as hawks? please help
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The population of Hawks and other species would likely start to edge off.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commonly, a Food Chain is dependent on all the parts of it sataying at a perfect point. If the food that the Snakes eat starts to run out, more of them will die off. With less Snakes, the Hawks will then have less food, and that continues throughout the chain. The same thing would happen if there was too much food, except instead of the populations of species dying off, the Snake population would spike.

Whole-wheat bread costs $2.06/lb. How much would 3.8 lb of whole-wheat bread cost?
Xelga [282]
Whole-wheat bread = $2.06/lb

We need the cost of 3.8 lbs of whole-wheat bread.

So, we simply need to multiply the cost with the amount needed.

(cost per pound) × (amount of bread)

($2.06) × (3.8)

Simplify.

$7.828

Round to the nearest tenths.

$7.83

So, 3.8 pounds of whole wheat bread costs $7.83

~Hope I helped!~
