Answer:

1.) \sqrt{13.341}  ≈ 3.652

2.) I would say something about how the A in front of cos in the equation would change to 90, rather than stay 75 (in the equation for the step by step), but it would be easier to just use the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think we may have the same class so hopefully this helps:

1.) a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA --> law of cosines formula.

   a^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 - 2(3)(3)cos(75) --> plugged in numbers; when you draw the triangle, the included angle would be A, and the opposite side would be a. B and b, and C and c are opposite each other. In this case, a is the hypotenuse.

   a^2 = 18 - 18cos75 --> in between steps.

   a^2 = 13.341 --> more simplifying.

   a(hypotenuse) = \sqrt{13.341} or 3.652 --> answer

2.) This one is just an explanation: The 75 in the equation is the given angle, which is a. If this changes, it would just change in the equation too. And obviously, if it's 90 degrees, you can just use Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

Good luck! :)

How to know the derivative of a function by looking at the graphs?
ozzi
The derivative is the gradient.

At any local Max's or min's the derivative graph will cut the x axis.

For example a graph x^2
The derivative will have a positive gradient as the gradient is increasing at the lower values then at x=0 the gradient is 0 so the derivative graph will pass the point (0,0). Remember that the derivative graph will be linear.

To get more detail find the points the graph crosses the x axis and put into for a(x-q)(x-p)=0 you will have to solve for 'a' by finding a point on the graph and substituting it in. Then you can find the derivative of that function and graph it

Write the first 5 terms of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 8 and whose common difference is -6.
n200080 [17]
The formula for arithmetic sequence is given by:
an=a+(n-1)d
where:
an=nth term
a=first term
n=number of terms
thus our first term will be:
a1=8
a2=8+(2-1)(-6)=2
a3=8+(3-1)(-6)=-4
a4=8+(4-1)(-6)=-10
a5=8+(5-1)(-6)=-16
a5=-16
thus the sequence will be:
8,2,-4,-10,-16...
