\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies \cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}

Since \sin\theta=-\dfrac8{17}, it follows that

\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=\pm\dfrac{15}{17}

where the sign depends on the location of the terminal side of the angle. Since the terminal side lies in the fourth quadrant, that means the cosine of the angle is positive, so

\cos\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}

What is the factored dorm of 1256x to the sixth power minus 8​
katovenus [111]

Answer:

8(157x^6 - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1256x^6 - 8

Start by factoring out a common factor. 1256 and 8 are both divisible by 8.

1256x^6 - 8 = 8(157x^6 - 1)

157 is prime, so 157x^6 - 1 is not factorable.

Answer: 8(157x^6 - 1)

Find the vertex of the parabola.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

C: (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4x² + 24x - 35

y = -4(x² - 6x) - 35

y = -4[x² - 2(x)(3) + 3² - 3²] - 35

y = -4(x - 3)² -4(-9) - 35

y = -4(x - 3)² + 36 - 35

y = -4(x - 3)² + 1

Vertex (3,1)
