If sin theta =1/4, theta in quadrant II, find the exact value of cos[theta +pi/6]

1 answer:

6 0

Using cos addition formula:
use x for theta
cos(x+π/6)=cosx*cos(π/6)-sinx*sin(π/6)
sinx=1/4
cosx=√15/4
cos(π/6)=√3/2
sin(π/6)=1/2
cos(x+π/6)=(√15/4*√3/2)-(1/4*1/2)
cos(x+π/6)=(√45/8)-(1/8 )
cos(x+π/6)=(√45-1)/8)

Suppose a rectangular pasture is to be constructed using 1 2 linear mile of fencing. The pasture will have one divider parallel

Answer:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{1}{192}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximization With Derivatives</u>

Given a function of one variable A(x), we can find the maximum or minimum value of A by using the derivatives criterion. If A'(x)=0, then A has a probable maximum or minimum value.

We need to find a function for the area of the pasture. Let's assume the dimensions of the pasture are x and y, and one divider goes parallel to the sides named y, and two dividers go parallel to x.

The two divisions parallel to x have lengths y, thus the fencing will take 4x. The three dividers parallel to y have lengths x, thus the fencing will take 3y.

The amount of fence needed to enclose the external and the internal divisions is

$P=4x+3y$
