Answer:

812/1037

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to use trigonometric identities.

Cos (A + B) is given as Cos A Cos B - Sin A Sin B. And from the question, we have that

Tan A = 8/15.

We know that in a triangle, the Tan angle is represented Opp/Adj and thus the Opp is 8, and the Adj is 15. Using Pythagoras, we have

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = 8² + 15²

hyp² = 64 + 225

hyp² = 289

hyp = √289 = 17

The identity of Cos is Adj/Hyp and that of Sin is Opp/Hyp.

Cos A = 15/17

Sin A = 8/17

Repeating the same process for B, we have

Sin B = 11/61

adj² = hyp² - opp²

adj² = 61² - 11²

adj² = 3721 - 121

adj² = 3600

adj = √3600 = 60

Cos B = 60/61

Now, using the earlier stated trigonometric identity, we have

cos (a + b) = CosA CosB - SinA SinB

cos (a + b) = 15/17 * 60/61 - 8/17 * 11/61

cos (a + b) = 900/1037 - 88/1037

cos (a + b) = 812/1037

Subtract 7 from the product of 4 and a number results in the number added to 29 is what
german
4x-7=29 < do you understand how to set that up? Now, the goal is to “get x by itself.”

4x-7=29< now add the 7 to the 29. When you cross an equals sign you change the (+/-) sign of the number you’re moving.

4x= 36< now you will just divide by 4 on both sides. This will give you x by itself on the left side of the equals sign.

x=36/4 which is 9

X=9 :))

Matt bought a book for 5.10. He gave the sales clerk a 10 dollar bill. How much change should Matt get back
sergij07 [2.7K]

Matt would get about $4 and 90 cents back from the clerk, since 10 dollars minus $5 and 10 cents equals $4 and 90 cents.
