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}

We know that,

\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}

Using the trigonometric ratios, we get

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

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

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

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

A farmer has 1,800 feet of fencing and wants to fence off a rectangular field that borders a straight river. he needs no fence a
astra-53 [7]
There are 2 short sides x and 1 long side y.

x+x+y=1,800
2x+y=1,800
y=1,800-2x

The area of the rectangle is A=x(1,800-x).


A is a function with variable x. Moreover it is a quadratic (second degree) function.

The graph of the function is a parabola which opens downwards, because the signs of the leading coefficients of the factors, multiply to minus:

(x)(-x)=-x^2.


This means that the highest point of the parabola, is its vertex V(h,k), so the function takes its largest value for x=h.


The roots of A=x(1,800-x) are x=0 and x=1,800, thus the x coordinate of the vertex, must be the midpoint of 0 and 1,800, that is 900.


Answer:

A=x(1,800-x)

largest area is when x=900

the gross earnings • group health insurance (assuming 15% of gross earnings) pension deduction (assuming 6.5% of gross earnings)
sveta [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculate the gross earnings:</u>

  • 40*7.75 = 310.00

<u>Health insurance deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*15/100 = 46.50

<u>Pension deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*6.5/100 = 20.15

<u>Total deductions:</u>

  • 55.00 + 15.50 + 21.25 + 46.50 + 20.15 = 158.40

<u>Net pay:</u>

  • 310.00 - 158.40 = 151.60
