Find the exact value of cos(7\pi /12)

Mathematics

7π/12 lies in the second quadrant, so we expect cos(7π/12) to be negative.

Recall that

\cos^2x=\dfrac{1+\cos(2x)}2

which tells us

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{12}\right)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\frac{7\pi}6\right)}2}

Now,

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}6\right)=-\cos\left(\dfrac\pi6\right)=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

and so

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{12}\right)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{\sqrt3}2}2}=\boxed{-\dfrac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt3}}2}

For what value of x is the expression –4x – 8 equivalent to –9x –1?
Alexeev081 [22]

The value of x where the expression –4x – 8 will be equivalent to –9x –1 will be 7/13.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

It should be noted that we are simply to find the value of x where the expression –4x – 8 will be equivalent to –9x –1.

This will be:

= +4x - 8 = -9x - 1.

4x + 9x = -1 + 8

13x = 7

Divide

x = 7/13

The value is 7/13.

The answer is B, because A and C are automatically eliminated because they are subtracting, and the equation that represents the situation is an addition inequality. B is correct because the two parenthesis numbers represents the students attending the fair paying $0.50, and there are 200 students. The 2.25a represents an amount of adults, each paying $2.25.

IgorC [24]
80p=pr^2+p(2r)^2
80p=pr^2+4pr^2
80=r^2+4r^2
80=5r^2
16=r^2
r=4 for the smaller circle´s radius, and 8 is the larger circle´s radius.
