Sara buys soil from a gardener to fill a planter.The gardener has 1.5 cubic feet of soil to sell for $6. Sara buys just enough s

oil to fill her planter, which is a prism with a height of 0.5 feet and a square base where each side length is 1 foot. How much will it cost Sara to completely fill her planter with soil?

The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
 We have then:
 V = h * L ^ 2
 Where,
 L: side of the square base.
 h: height.
 Substituting we have:
 V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
 0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $
 Answer:
 it will cost Sara 2 $ to completely fill her planter with soil

If cos(x) = Three-fourths and tan(x) < 0, what is cos(2x)?
makvit [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of sin(2x) is \sin(2x) = - \frac{\sqrt{15}}{8}sin(2x)=−

How to determine the value of sin(2x)

The cosine ratio is given as:

\cos(x) = -\frac 14cos(x)=−

4

1

Calculate sine(x) using the following identity equation

\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1sin

2

(x)+cos

2

(x)=1

So we have:

\sin^2(x) + (1/4)^2 = 1sin

2

(x)+(1/4)

2

=1

\sin^2(x) + 1/16= 1sin

2

(x)+1/16=1

Subtract 1/16 from both sides

\sin^2(x) = 15/16sin

2

(x)=15/16

Take the square root of both sides

\sin(x) = \pm \sqrt{15/16

Given that

tan(x) < 0

It means that:

sin(x) < 0

So, we have:

\sin(x) = -\sqrt{15/16

Simplify

\sin(x) = \sqrt{15}/4sin(x)=

/4

sin(2x) is then calculated as:

\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

So, we have:

\sin(2x) = -2 * \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4} * \frac 14sin(2x)=−2∗

This gives

\sin(2x) = - \frac{\sqrt{15}}{8}sin(2x)=−

Need help what the answer
stealth61 [152]
I think that it might be 62,100 because the 6 is in the ten thousands place, and if you divide it by 10, 60,000/10, then it would be 6000. 60,000 is 10 times more than 6,000. Correct me if I'm wrong.
