If cos(x) = 0.5, then what is x?

Mathematics

Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Answer:

=60 the second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometric ratio, we can find the value of the angle by simply finding the inverse of the given ratio.

If for example Cos ∅= a, then ∅=Cos⁻¹a

If Cos (x)= 0.5, then x= Cos⁻¹ 0.5

Cos⁻1 0.5=60°

The angle whose sine is 0.5 is ∅=60°

Answer: second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have that:

cos(x)=0.5

Then, to find the value of "x", you need to apply Arccosine ( This is the inverse function of the cosine).

Therefore, applying this in the procedure, you get that the value of "x" is the following:

cos(x)=0.5\\\\x=Arccos(0.5)\\\\x=60\°

You can observe that this matches with the second option.

How do I work this out oof
kakasveta [241]

I am so sorry for giving you the wrong answer at first.

Here's the processs

1x=-0.5555

Move the decimal point in the repeating decimal one space forward

10x=-5.55555

Then subtract

10x=5.5555

x=-0.5555= 9x=-5

Divide both sides by 9

9x=-5

9x/9=-5/9

-5/9 is your final answer!

Hope this helps!

Answer:
(#14 - supplementary) x = 10.5
(#15 - supplementary) x = 10

Explanation:
For these problems, we must know that a supplementary angle can be viewed as a sum of angles that add to 180 degrees. With this known, we can write our equations to find x.

(#14)
15x - 12 + 5x - 18 = 180
20x - 30 = 180
20x = 210
x = 10.5

(#15)
6x + 13 + 14x - 33 = 180
20x - 20 = 180
20x = 200
x = 10

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Given: cos θ=-4/5, sin x = -12/13, θ is in the third quadrant, 
USPshnik [31]

By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7

Mr. snorkel drove 169 miles in 3 h 30 min. find the rate in feet per minute
AVprozaik [17]

169 miles * 5280 ft/ mile = 892320 ft

3 hours * 60 minutes/1 hr = 180 minutes

3 hrs 30 minutes = 180 minutes + 30 minutes = 210 minutes


169 miles/ 3 hrs 30 minutes    = 892320 ft/ 210 minutes = 4249.1 ft/ minutes
