\bf \textit{Double Angle Identities}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;cos(2\theta)=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)\\&#10;1-2sin^2(\theta)\\&#10;\boxed{2cos^2(\theta)-1}&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{2tan(\theta)}{1-tan^2(\theta)}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;

\bf cos(2\theta)=\cfrac{5}{6}\implies 2cos^2(\theta)-1=\cfrac{5}{6}\implies 2cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{5}{6}+1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{11}{6}\implies cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{11}{12}\implies cos(\theta)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{11}{12}}


now, bear in mind, the square root gives us +/- versions, so, which is it? well, we know the angle is in the range of "<span>0 ≤ θ < π/2", that simply means the 1st quadrant, so, we'll use the positive one then

</span>\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{12}}\implies cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2\sqrt{3}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now, let's rationalize the denominator}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{11}\cdot \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3^2}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{11\cdot 33}}{2\cdot 3}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{\sqrt{33}}{6}}<span>

Dazuri saw the following advertisement at a sports store how much does each soccer ball cost
Nadusha1986 [10]

Based on the advertisement seen by Dazuri, the cost of each soccer ball is $22.50

<h3>How to find the cost?</h3>

The advertisement says that the original cost of the ball is $30 but there is a 25% discount.

The price of each soccer ball is therefore reduced by the 25% discount on the ball.

The amount that each soccer ball costs is therefore:
= 30 - ( 30 x 25%)

= 30 - 7.5

= $22.50

Rest of the question is:
Soccer balls on sale at a 25% discount. Prices go back to $30 in a week. Don't miss out.

A rock drops from a height of 60m. how long does it take for it to hit the ground?
laila [671]

To solve for the time an object takes to hit the ground, the equation

<em>y</em> <em>= y₀ + v₀t + ½gt²</em>, or just <em>0 = y₀ +½gt²</em> since there is no initial velocity and the final y position is 0 (since it is on the ground). Therefore, <em>t = (−2y₀/g)^½.</em>

(-2*60/-9.8)^½ = 3.50 seconds.
