let's notice something, angles α and β are both in the I Quadrant, and on the first quadrant the x-coordinate/cosine and y-coordinate/sine are both positive.

\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities} \\\\ cos(\alpha - \beta)= cos(\alpha)cos(\beta) + sin(\alpha)sin(\beta) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ sin(\alpha)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{15}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{17^2-15^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{64}=a\implies \pm 8 = a\implies \stackrel{I~Quadrant}{\boxed{+8=a}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(\beta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=b\implies \pm 4=b\implies \stackrel{\textit{I~Quadrant}}{\boxed{+4=b}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\alpha - \beta)=\stackrel{cos(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{8}{17} \right)}\stackrel{cos(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{3}{5} \right)}+\stackrel{sin(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{15}{17} \right)}\stackrel{sin(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)}\implies cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{24}{85}+\cfrac{60}{85} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{84}{85}~\hfill

Y= 1/2x-4 and y= -2x-9 what is the solution of equations
azamat

Answer:

(x,y)=(-2,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=1/2x-4

y=-2x-9

(y=) 1/2x-4=-2x-9

1/2x +2x=-9+4

1/2x +4/2x=-5

5/2x=-5

5x=-5*2

5x=-10

x=-2

x=-2

y=-2x-9=-2*(-2)-9=4-9=-5

(x,y)=(-2,-5)

The domain of the following relation: R {(6, -2), (1, 2), (-3, -4), (-3, 2)} is
monitta
The domain is the set of possible inputs, i.e. the x-coordinates of the points.

Here those are 6, 1 and - 3 which in order is -3, 1, 6.

Then the answer is {-3, 1, 6}.

By the way note that this relation is not a function. Do you know why?

Because the image of -3 is not stated unambiguosly.

What is the math sentence for 3.46 and 0.346
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

3.46 in a fraction

340.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal 0.346 equals 34.6%

To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 0.346 × 100 = 34.6% (answer).

➥ The ease way:

1) Move the decimal point two places to the right: 0.346 → 3.46 → 34.6.

2) Add a % sign: 34.6%

Answer: 34.6%
