Answer:

  204/325

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work this a couple of ways. We expect you are probably expected to use trig identities.

  cos(A) = √(1 -sin²(A)) = 24/25

  sin(B) = √(1 -cos²(B)) = 12/13

cos(A -B) = cos(A)cos(B) +sin(A)sin(B) = (24/25)(5/13) +(7/25)(12/13)

  = (24·5 +7·12)/325

cos(A -B) = 204/325

__

The other way to work this is using inverse trig functions. It is necessary to carry the full calculator precision if you want an exact answer.

  cos(A -B) = cos(arcsin(7/25) -arccos(5/13)) = cos(16.2602° -67.3801°)

  = cos(-51.1199°) ≈ 0.62769230 . . . . (last 6 digits repeating)

The denominators of 25 and 13 suggest that the desired fraction will have a denominator of 25·13 = 325, so we can multiply this value by 325 to see what we get.

  325·cos(A-B) = 204

so, the exact value is ...

  cos(A -B) = 204/325

Which expression represents x^2+8x+16? <br>​
salantis [7]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor a trinomial, you need to multiply 'a' and 'c' and see what two number add to equal 'b' but also multiply to equal the product of 'a' and 'c'.

So, what two numbers multiply to equal 16 but simultaneously add to equal 8?

That is +4 and +4. Instead of writing (x+4)(x+4), you can write (x+4)^2, or answer C.
