Given:

\sin (u)=-\dfrac{7}{25}

\cos (v)=-\dfrac{4}{5}

To find:

The exact value of cos(u-v) if both angles are in quadrant 3.

Solution:

In 3rd quadrant, cos and sin both trigonometric ratios are negative.

We have,

\sin (u)=-\dfrac{7}{25}

\cos (v)=-\dfrac{4}{5}

Now,

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-\sin^2 (u)}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-(-\dfrac{7}{25})^2}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{49}{625}}

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{625-49}{625}}

On further simplification, we get

\cos (u)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{576}{625}}

\cos (u)=-\dfrac{24}{25}

Similarly,

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2 (v)}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-(-\dfrac{4}{5})^2}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{16}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{25-16}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{9}{25}}

\sin (v)=-\dfrac{3}{5}

Now,

\cos (u-v)=\cos u\cos v+\sin u\sin v

\cos (u-v)=\left(-\dfrac{24}{25}\right)\left(-\dfrac{4}{5}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{7}{25}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3}{25}\right)

\cos (u-v)=\dfrac{96}{625}+\dfrac{21}{625}

\cos (u-v)=\dfrac{1 17}{625}

Therefore, the value of cos (u-v) is 0.1872.

Why is it helpful to represent fractions and division with models? (pls make answer pretty long, thanks :)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Whether you're teaching the meaning of fractions or fraction operations, visual models can help students connect fractions to what they already know. Division is an essential foundation for fractions. Once students can divide objects into equal groups, they can begin to grasp dividing a whole into equal parts.

6+n/60=15/90<br><br> How do I dolce this
Lilit [14]
6+\frac{n}{60}=\frac{15}{90}\\\\6+\frac{n}{60}=\frac{1}{6}\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 60\\\\360+n=10\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 360\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{n=-350}

Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. you are driving 55 miles per hour. you must drive 440 miles total. i
Oliga [24]
Time=(distance)/(speed)
speed=55 mi/hr
Total distance=440 miles
Distance covered=275 miles
remaining distance=440-275=165 miles
Time taken to cover the remaining distance will be:
time=165/55=3 hours

Total time taken to travel=440/55=8 hours
if we are to use the equation given by:
55h+275=440
time taken will be found by solving for h, thus we shall have:
55h=440-275
55h=165
h=165/55
h=3 hours

Answer: 3 hours

How do I construct a sample data set for which n=7, x=9(x bar), and s=0?
JulijaS [17]
When the standard deviation = 0, there is no deviation at all. So the numbers are all the same. And there are seven of them. And the average is nine. 
So the sample data set would just be seven 9s.
