I am leaning pre-cal right now and I don't understand it. I did arctan (3/-5) but got it wrong, how do you do this?

Answer:

149.04°

Step-by-step explanation:

You must consider the signs of the components of the vector. The value -5+3i will be in the 2nd quadrant of the complex plane.

When you use the single-argument arctan function, it will tell you the angle is -30.96°, a 4th-quadrant angle. (arctan( ) is only capable of giving you 1st- or 4th-quadrant angles.)

You find the 2nd-quadrant angle by adding 180° to this value:

-30.96° +180° = 149.04° = arg(-5+3i)

__

The attachments show the calculation using a suitable calculator (1st) and a spreadsheet (2nd). The spreadsheet function ATAN2(x,y) gives the 4-quadrant angle in radians, considering the signs of the two arguments. Here, we converted it to degrees. The calculator can be set to either degrees or radians.

Clive has a phone plan where he pays double his base per minute rate for any additional minute spent on a call over twenty minut

Sidana [21]

The two variables that we should use are:

x = number of minutes that the call lasted.
y = cost of that call.

<h3>What variables should we use?</h3>

Here we want to study a relation between the cost per call as the function of the minutes that the call lasted.

So, we need to use two variables, x will be the number of minutes that call lasted, this is the independent variable.

And the variable that depends on that should be the cost of the call, let's say, y is the cost of the call.

These are the two variables that we need to model the situation:

y = f(x)

There says:

<em>"The cost of the call is a </em><em>function </em><em>of the number of minutes that the call lasted".</em>

For f(x)= 5^x, find<br> f(3/2)

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

f(3/2)= 5√5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3/2)= 5^(3/2)

f(3/2)= (5^3)^1/2 is the same things

f(3/2)= (125)^1/2 fraction exponent are the same are roots ^(1/2) is √

f(3/2)= √125

f(3/2)= √25 times √5 break up 125 to be 25 x 5

f(3/2)= 5√5 because √25 = 5 and √5 stays as √5
