100 cm = 1m

To find 60 000cm, multiply by 600 :
60 000 cm = 600m

To convert from m to km, divide by 1000 :
600m ÷ 1000 = 0.6km

The point (1, −1) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. What are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of

defon

The abscissa of the ordered pair, that is the x-coordinate, is equal to 1 and the ordinate, the y-coordinate, is equal to -1. In the cartesian plane, this point lies in the fourth (IV) quadrant. The standard position of the angle is that which has one of its side is in the x-axis.

Solve for the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.
h = sqrt((-1)² + (1)²) = √2
Below items show the calculation for each of the trigonometric functions.

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = y/h = (-1)/(√2) = -√2/2
cos θ = adjacent/hypotenuse = x/h = (1)/√2 = √2/2
tan θ = opposite/adjacent = y/x = -1/1 = -1

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for $p$ such that $1000p(1-p)$ is maximized. Once we have that $p$ , we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes $1000p(1-p)$ is the same as finding the value that maximizes $p(1-p)$ , just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize $p(1-p)$ . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

$p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4$ .

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of $p$ such that the inner part of the square term is equal to $0$ .
