Answer:

an = 56-8(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence

The common difference is 48 - 56 =-8

a1 = 56

an = a1+d(n-1)

an = 56-8(n-1)

Find sin2x, cos2x, and tan2x if sinx=-15/17 and x terminates in quadrant III

vodka [1.7K]

Given:

$\sin x=-\dfrac{15}{17}$

x lies in the III quadrant.

To find:

The values of $\sin 2x, \cos 2x, \tan 2x$ .

Solution:

It is given that x lies in the III quadrant. It means only tan and cot are positive and others are negative.

We know that,

$\sin^2 x+\cos^2 x=1$

$(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2+\cos^2 x=1$

$\cos^2 x=1-\dfrac{225}{289}$

$\cos x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{289-225}{289}}$

x lies in the III quadrant. So,

$\cos x=-\sqrt{\dfrac{64}{289}}$

$\cos x=-\dfrac{8}{17}$

Now,

$\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$

$\sin 2x=2\times (-\dfrac{15}{17})\times (-\dfrac{8}{17})$

$\sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289}$

And,

$\cos 2x=1-2\sin^2x$

$\cos 2x=1-2(-\dfrac{15}{17})^2$

$\cos 2x=1-2(\dfrac{225}{289})$

$\cos 2x=\dfrac{289-450}{289}$

$\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289}$

We know that,

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{\sin 2x}{\cos 2x}$

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{-\dfrac{240}{289}}{-\dfrac{161}{289}}$

$\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}$

Therefore, the required values are $\sin 2x=-\dfrac{240}{289},\cos 2x=-\dfrac{161}{289},\tan 2x=\dfrac{240}{161}$ .

What is the measure for the following ∠? m∠BOA 20 40 60

kaheart [24]

Hello!

First, find angle BOA on the protractor. To do this, look for point B, point O, and point A.

Now, we see some markings that mark what degree point B and point A are at. Point B is marked at 60 degrees, and Point A 40 degrees.

Now, all that's left to do, is subtract the two measurements.

60 degrees - 40 degrees = 20 degrees

Therefore, your answer is 20.

Hope this helps!
