given that sin theta= 1/4, 0 is less than theta but less than pi/2, what is the exact value of cos theta

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For any angle $\theta$ , we have that:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

Quadrant:

$0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ means that $\theta$ is in the first quadrant. This means that both the sine and the cosine have positive values.

Find the cosine:

$(\sin{\theta})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\frac{1}{4})^{2} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$\frac{1}{16} + (\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{16-1}{16}$

$(\cos{\theta})^{2} = \frac{15}{16}$

$\cos{\theta} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}}$

Since the angle is in the first quadrant, the cosine is positive.

$\cos{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Maya deposits $5000 into a checking account that pays 0.75% annual interest compounded monthly. What will be the balance after 8

$~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$5000\\ r=rate\to 0.75\%\to \frac{0.75}{100}\dotfill &0.0075\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus twelve} \end{array}\dotfill &12\\ t=years\dotfill &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=5000\left(1+\frac{0.0075}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 8}\implies A=5000(1.000625)^{96}\implies A\approx 5309.08$
