Answer:

cos2θ = -0.7041

Cos θ = -0.3847

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we should understand that since θ is in quadrant 2, the value of our cosine will be negative. Only the sine is positive in quadrant 2.

Now the sine of an angle refers to the ratio of the opposite to the adjacent. And since there are three sides to a triangle, we need to find the third side which is the adjacent so that we will be able to evaluate the cosine of the angle.

What to use here is the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the adjacent and the opposite.

Since Sine = opposite/hypotenuse, this means that the opposite is 12 and the hypnotist 13

Thus the adjacent let’s say d can be calculated as follows

13^2 = 12^2 + d^2

169 = 144 + d^2

d^2 = 169-144

d^2 = 25

d = √25 = ±5

Since we are on the second quadrant, the value of our adjacent is -5 since the x-coordinate on the second quadrant is negative.(negative x - axis)

The value of cos θ = Adjacent/hypotenuse = -5/13

Cos θ = -5/13

Cos θ = -0.3846

Using trigonometric formulas;

Cos 2θ = cos (θ + θ) = cos θ cos θ - sin θ sin

θ = cos^2 θ - sin^2 θ

Cos 2θ = (-5/13)^2 - (12/13)^2

Cos 2θ = 25/169 - 144/169

Cos 2θ = (25-144)/169 = -119/169

Cos 2θ = -0.7041

What is the greatest common factor of theses variables
DerKrebs [107]
B is the answer!

Explanation:
m^2 n^2 fits into both, you can take m^2 n^2 out of it both.

m is a common factor since you can take m out of both but it’s not the greatest common factor.

2n & 2m wouldn’t even be a common factor bc there is no 2n or 2m in neither.
