Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:the answer is 560

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because you multiply to get 8 and 40 to get the amount for regular time which is 320.Then you subtract 60 from 40 which is 20.You multiply that amounnt by 12 because that is the overtime which will equal 240.Add them together and you get 560. ☺

Find the exact value of cos theta, given that sin thetaequalsStartFraction 15 Over 17 EndFraction and theta is in quadrant II.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that:

$sin \theta = \frac{15}{17}$

And we want to find the value for $cos \theta$ , so then we can use the following basic identity:

$cos^2 \theta + sin^2 \theta =1$

And if we solve for $cos \theta$ we got:

$cos^2 \theta = 1- sin^2 \theta$

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta}$

And if we replace the value given we got:

$cos \theta =\pm \sqrt{1- (\frac{15}{17})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{289}}=\frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{289}}=\frac{8}{17}$

For our case we know that the angle is on the II quadrant, and on this quadrant we know that the sine is positive but the cosine is negative so then the correct answer for this case would be:

$cos \theta = -\frac{8}{17}$
