Recall that to get the x-intercepts, we set the f(x) = y = 0, thus
![\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-4cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\implies 0=cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \\\\\\ cos^{-1}(0)=cos^{-1}\left[ cos\left(x-\frac{\pi }{2} \right) \right]\implies cos^{-1}(0)=x-\cfrac{\pi }{2} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{\pi }{2}= \begin{cases} \frac{\pi }{2}\\\\ \frac{3\pi }{2} \end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bf%28x%29%7D%7B0%7D%3D-4cos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%5Cimplies%200%3Dcos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Acos%5E%7B-1%7D%280%29%3Dcos%5E%7B-1%7D%5Cleft%5B%20cos%5Cleft%28x-%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Cright%29%20%5Cright%5D%5Cimplies%20cos%5E%7B-1%7D%280%29%3Dx-%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0Ax-%5Ccfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%3D%0A%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0A%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Cfrac%7B3%5Cpi%20%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3 39/40 = 3.975
3 19/20 = 3.95
3 1/2 = 3.5
least to greatest : 3 1/2, 3 19/20, 3 39/40
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: SOHCAHTOA
1. Reference angle = 70°
Adjacent side = x
Hypotenuse = 6 cm
Apply CAH. Thus,
Cos 70 = adj/hyp
Cos 70 = x/6
6 × cos 70 = x
2.05 = x
x = 2.05 cm
2. Reference angle = 45°
Adjacent side = x
Hypotenuse = 1.3 m
Applying CAH, we would have the following ratio:
Cos 45 = adj/hyp
Cos 45 = x/1.3
1.3 × cos 45 = x
0.92 = x
x = 0.92 m
3. The who diagram is not shown well. Some parts are missing, however you can still solve the problem just the same way we solved problem 1 and 2.
