Let x be the total number of person in the police force
24/100 × x = 72
x = 72/0.24
Therefore x = 300

The # of males = 300 - 72 = 228

<span>Let x be the total of people on the police force 24x=72 Divide both sides by 24 x=300 since there is 300 people on the force and 72 are ladies. We subtract 300-72= 228 So there is 228 male police officers :)

find the value of tan (a-b) if cos a=4/5 on the interval (270, 360) and sin b=-5/13 on the interval (270, 360)
Rudiy27

We can find a and b using inverse trig functions,

\cos(a)=\frac{4}{5}\implies a=\arccos\Big(\frac{4}{5}\Big)\approx36.87 \\\sin(b)=-\frac{5}{13}\implies b=\arcsin\Big(-\frac{5}{13}\Big)\approx-22.62

\tan(36.87-(-22.62))\approx1.7

Hope this helps.

Answer:

α = π/3

γ = 2

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Easiest way to do this is in reverse.

γ sin(2x − α)

Angle sum/difference formula:

γ (cos α sin(2x) − sin α cos(2x))

Distribute:

γ cos α sin(2x) − γ sin α cos(2x)

Matching the coefficients:

γ cos α = 1

γ sin α = √3

Solve the system of equations.  Divide to eliminate γ:

tan α = √3

α is between 0 and π/2, so:

α = π/3

γ = 2

sin(2x) − √3 cos(2x) = 1

Using the identity from before:

2 sin(2x − π/3) = 1

Solving:

sin(2x − π/3) = 1/2

2x − π/3 = π/6 + 2kπ or 5π/6 + 2kπ

2x = π/2 + 2kπ or 7π/6 + 2kπ

x = π/4 + kπ or 7π/12 + kπ

x is between -π and π, so:

x = -3π/4, -5π/12, π/4, 7π/12

There are 35 more musicians in the String section of a city Symphony Orchestra than in its Brass section. There are 29 musicians
blagie [28]
X = string section
y = brass section

x = y + 35
y = 29 .....there are 29 in the brass section

x = 29 + 35
x = 64...there are 64 in the string section

for a total of : 64 + 29 = 93 total musicians <==

How much higher is Checkpoint 5 than Checkpoint 2?
Akimi4 [234]
You have to find the difference in height between both checkpoints. To do this just calculate 196 - 52. Checkpoint 5 is 144 (meters?) higher than Checkpoint 2.
