Answer:

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = {\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\cos A = \frac{1}{2}

Required

Determine \cos(\frac{1}{2}A)

To do this, we make use of the following identity

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{\cos A+1}{2}}

Substitute: \cos A = \frac{1}{2}

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{2}+1}{2}}

Solve the numerator

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+1}{2}}{2}}

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2}}

Rewrite as:

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2} * \frac{1}{2}}

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}

Take square roots

\cos(\frac{1}{2}A) = {\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure a is a convex pentagon, a convex pentagon is a pentagon that does not have an internal angle greater than

{180}^{0}

An easier thing to remember is that it does not have an angle pointing inwards like b, none of its angles/edges point toward the shape/inside

A rental car agency charges a flat fee of $110.00 plus $46.00 per day to rent a certain car. Another agency charges a fee of $70
Alinara [238K]
<span>The answer to this question would be: 5 days
In this question, there are two kinds of rent pricing and you are asked to find the number of days when both of them will charge the same price.
From the description, you can get an equation of each price which would look like this(x=number of day rent):

cost1= 110 + 46x
cost2= 70 + 54x

Then, the days when the price same would be:
cost1 = cost2
</span>110 + 46x= 70+54x
110-70= 54x - 46x
40= 8x
x=5

How do you write 7.18 as a fraction?
balandron [24]
<h2>Convert decimals to fractions</h2>

<em>To write 7.18 as a fraction, you must write 7.18 as the numerator and put 1 as the denominator. </em><em>Now multiply the numerator and denominator</em><em> by 10 until you get a whole number in the </em><em>numerator.</em>

<h3>7.18 = 7.18/1 = 71.8/10 = 718/100</h3>

<em>And finally we have:</em>

<h3>7.18 a fraction is equal to 718/100</h3>
