Answer:

2/x−9

Step-by-step explanation:

Write it out just the way you read it, then follow the order of operations.

The “Order of Operations” (P-E-MD-AS … or … B-O-DM-AS) tells us that quotient (division) comes before less (subtraction) so:

How do you represent “the quotient of two and (a number) X” ?

The quotient of 2 divided by X is (2÷X) or (2/X) or 2

What is nine less than that quotient?

subtract 9 from your choice of the previous representations, for example:

2/x−9

Consider the following equation x= r-h/y.Solve the equation for h

Flura [38]

x= r - h/y subtract r from both sides

x-r = -h/y multiply each side by -y

-y(x-r) = h

-xy +yr = h

What is the exact value of cos(7pi/8)

Damm [24]

Answer:

cos ( $\frac{7\pi}{8}$ ) = $-\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}$

Decimal value: −0.9238795325...

Step-by-step explanation:

Write,

cos $\frac{7\pi}{8}$ = cos $(\pi-\frac{\pi}{8})$ = −cos $\frac{\pi }{8}$

Now using half angle formula, cos(x) = 2 cos²( $\frac{\pi }{2}$ ) − 1, we can write cos $\frac{\pi }{4}$ = 2

cos²( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ ) − 1

This means $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ + 1 = 2 cos²( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ )

2 cos²( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ ) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}}$

cos²( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ ) = $\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}$

cos( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ ) = $\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}}$

Simplify,

$\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{4}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}$

Hence,

cos ( $\frac{7\pi}{8}$ ) = −cos ( $\frac{\pi }{8}$ ) = $-\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}$
