Answer:

cos(x)= -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If sinX = 0.6, and X is in Quadrant II,

sin(x)= 0.6 = 6/10

sin (x)= opposite side / hypotenuse

opposite side = 6 and hypotenuse = 10

use Pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

10^2 = 6^2 +b^2

100 = 36 + b^2

Subtract 36 from both sides

64= b^2

b= 8

Adjacent side = 8

Cos(x)= adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos(x)= 8/10= 0.8

Cos is negative in second quadrant

so cos(x)= -0.8

To calculate for cos X given that sin X=0.6 and is in Quadrant we proceed as follows:
sin X=0.6
Thus implies that:
x=arcsin 0.6
x=36.97
given that X is in the Quadrant ii then the value of x will be:
180-36.97
=143.13
hence cos X will be:
cos X=cos 143.13
cos X=-0.8

Answer:

468 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A catering service offers 5 appetizers, 4 main courses, and 8 desserts

To find: number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts.

Solution:

A permutation is an arrangement of elements such that order of elements matters and repetition is not allowed.

Number of appetizers = 5

Number of main courses = 4

Number of desserts = 8

Number of ways of choosing k terms from n terms = $nPk=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}$

Number of ways a customer is to select 4 appetizers, 2 main courses,and 3 desserts = $5P4+4P2+8P3$

$=\frac{5!}{(5-4)!}+\frac{4!}{(4-2)!}+\frac{81}{(8-3)!}\\=5!+\frac{4!}{2!}+\frac{8!}{5!}\\=5!+(4\times 3)+(8\times 7\times 6)\\=120+12+336\\=468$

So, this can be done in 468 ways.

What happens to a number when you multiply by 1000? Why does this happen?

Elis [28]

Answer:

the number will get 1000 times larger than its original number or 3 zeroes will be added in the last place of the number

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say x=5,

if we multiply 5 by 1000 it becomes 5000 (it is 1000 times more or larger than its orignal number and 3 zeroes are added in 5000).
