Answer:

The number of commercial orbital launches is equal to 19 and the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The number of noncommercial orbital launches was two more than twice the number of commercial orbital launches.

Let's say that the number of commercial orbital launches is equal to x. Now, the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 2x+2.

We are told that if we add the number of commercial and noncommercial orbital launches together we will get 59.

Therefore, if we add 2x+2 with x we should get 59:

2x+2+x=59

3x+2=59

3x=57

x=19

This is how we can come to the answer that the number of commercial orbital launches is equal to 19 and the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 40 (2x+2=2*19+2=38+2=40).

Hope this helps!

Given this proportion, what ratio completes the equivilent proportion a/8?
Paladinen [302]
To solve this problem you must follow the steps below:

 You have a/b=8/15, Then:

 1. You must divide in both side of the given proportion by 8:

 a/bx8=8/15x8

 2. When you simplify, you obtain:

 a/8b=1/15

 3. Now, you must multiply both sides by "b", as below:

 axb/8b=1xb/15

 4. Finally, when you simplify, you have:

 a/8=b/15

What is the input of arccos
suter [353]

Answer:

It returns the angle whose cosine is a given number.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every trigonometry function, there is an inverse function that works in reverse. These inverse functions have the same name but with 'arc' in front. (On some calculators the arccos button may be labeled arccos, or sometimes cos-1.) So the inverse of cos is arccos etc. When we see "arccos x", we understand it as "the angle whose cosine is x"

cos30 = 0.866 Means: The cosine of 30 degrees is 0.866

arccos 0.866 = 30 Means: The angle whose cosine is 0.866 is 30 degrees.

Use arccos when you know the cosine of an angle and want to know the actual angle.
