Answer:

Option 1 - cos 240°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression \cos 120^\circ

To find : Which expression is equivalent to given expression ?  

Solution :

The given  expression is equivalent to those whose value is same as \cos 120^\circ

Value of

\cos 120^\circ= \cos (180-60)

\cos 120^\circ= -\cos 60

\cos 120^\circ= -\frac{1}{2}

value of cos in second quadrant is negative.

Option 1 : \cos 240^\circ

\cos 240^\circ= \cos (180+60)

\cos 240^\circ= -\cos 60

\cos 240^\circ= -\frac{1}{2}

Equivalent

Option 2 : \cos 300^\circ

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (360-60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180- 60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (60)

\cos 300^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

Option 3 : \cos 420^\circ

\cos 420^\circ= \cos (360+60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180+60)

\cos 420^\circ= \cos 60

\cos 420^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

Therefore, Correct option is 1.

\cos 120^\circ=\cos 240^\circ=-\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

Correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the expression which is equivalent to cos 120°

Expression: \cos 120^\circ

The given expression is equivalent to those whose value is same as \cos 120^\circ

\cos 120^\circ= \cos (180-60)

\cos 120^\circ= -\cos 60

\cos 120^\circ= -\frac{1}{2}

value of cos 120° in second quadrant is negative.

Option 1 : \cos 240^{\circ}

\cos 240^{\circ}= \cos (180+60)= -\cos 60

\cos 240^{\circ}= -\frac{1}{2}

Value is same i.e equivalent

Option 2 : \cos 300^{\circ}

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (360-60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180- 60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (60)

\cos 300^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

Option 3 : \cos 420^\circ

\cos 420^\circ= \cos (360+60)

\cos 300^\circ= \cos (2\times 180+60)

\cos 420^\circ= \cos 60

\cos 420^\circ= \frac{1}{2}

Not equivalent

∴ Correct option is 1.

\cos 120^\circ=\cos 240^\circ=-\frac{1}{2}

Lisa is sitting on the dock beside the lake she drops a rock from her hand into the lake after the rock hits the surface of the
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: 4.2495 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Rate of change (speed) when rock hits the lake surface = - 3in/s

Distance or depth after 5 seconds :

Distance = rate of change * time

Distance = (- 3 in/s × 5) = - 15 inches

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

15 inches = (-15 * 0.0833) = - 1.2495 feets

Distance between Lisa's hand and lake surface = 3 feets :

Distance between Lisa's hand and rock after 5 seconds :

(3 feets + 1.2495 feets) = 4.2495 feets

What is the distance between two points(2,-6)(-7,1)
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the distance in the x-direction between the x-components:  2 - (-7) = 9.

Similarly: between the y-components:  1 - (-6) = 7

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  9^2 + 7^2 = d^2, where d is the desired distance:

81 + 49 = d^2, or d^2 = 130

The distance d is approximately √130 ≈ 11.4
