Answer:

The value of cosine is \cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an angle θ with the point (−20, −21) on its terminating side.

It means the right angle triangle is formed in third quadrant where length of the perpendicular is 21 and the base is 20.

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2

hypotenuse^2=(20)^2+(21)^2

hypotenuse^2=400+441

hypotenuse^2=841

Taking square root both the sides.

hypotenuse=\sqrt{841}

hypotenuse=29

In a right angled triangle,

\cos \theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse}

\cos \theta=\frac{20}{29}

θ lie in the third quadrant and cosine is negative in third quadrant.

\cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}

Therefore the value of cosine is \cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}.

Cos(θ) = -20/√((-20)^2 +(-21)^2)
.. = -20/-√841 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . θ is a 4th-quadrant angle, so cos(θ) > 0
.. = 20/29

The value of the cosine is 20/29.

Answer:

h(t)=-6(t-2)^2+24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

h(t)=-6t^2+24t

where:

  • h = height (in feet)
  • t = times (in seconds)

Rewrite in the form h(t)=a(t-h)^2+k

The quickest way to do this is to expand h(t)=a(t-h)^2+k and compare coefficients with the original function.

\begin{aligned}h(t)& =a(t-h)^2+k\\ & = at^2-2aht+ah^2+k\end{aligned}

Comparing coefficients with h(t)=-6t^2+24t

\begin{aligned}\implies at^2& =-6t^2\\ a &=-6\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\implies -2aht & =24t\\ -2(-6)ht& =24t\\ 12ht & = 24t\\ 12h & = 24\\ h & = 2\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\implies ah^2+k & = 0\\(-6)(2)^2+k &=0\\ -24+k & =0\\ k &=24 \end{aligned}

Therefore, substituting the found values into the equation:

h(t)=-6(t-2)^2+24

Answer: first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.
