Answer:

90degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the measure of angle C, we will use the cosine rule as shown;

AB² = AC²+ BC² - 2(AC)(BC)cos C

85² = 13²+ 84² - 2(13)(84)cos C

7225 = 169 + 7056 - 2184cosC

7225 - 7225 = -2184cosC

0 = -2184cosC

cosC = -0/2184

cosC = 0

C = arccos0

C = 90degrees

Hence the measure of angle C is 90degrees

To complete the identity, we need these fundamental identities:

$1)\displaystyle{sec(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}$

$2) cos(x-y)=cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)$

$\displaystyle{csc(x)= \frac{1}{sin(x)}$

Thus, by identity 1 we have:

$\displaystyle{ sec( \frac{ \pi }{2}-\theta )= \frac{1}{cos(\frac{ \pi }{2}-\theta)}$

by identity :

$\displaystyle{cos(\frac{ \pi }{2}-\theta)=cos(\frac{ \pi }{2})cos(\theta)+sin(\frac{ \pi }{2})sin(\theta)$

recall the values :

$\displaystyle{ sin(\frac{ \pi }{2})^R=sin(90^o)=1\\\\$

$\displaystyle{ cos(\frac{ \pi }{2})^R=cos(90^o)=0$ ,

so:

$cos(\frac{ \pi }{2})cos(\theta)+sin(\frac{ \pi }{2})sin(\theta)=0+sin(\theta)=sin(\theta)$

Putting all these together, we have:

$\displaystyle{ sec( \frac{ \pi }{2}-\theta )= \frac{1}{cos(\frac{ \pi }{2}-\theta)}= \frac{1}{cos(\frac{ \pi }{2})cos(\theta)+sin(\frac{ \pi }{2})sin(\theta)}= \frac{1}{sin(\theta)}}$

which is equal to $csc(\theta)$ , by identity 3

The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t. the initial population of 500 increas

vaieri [72.5K]

This is a case of exponential growth. The appropriate equation, with the given data inserted, is P(t) = 500 ( 1+0.15)^50

or = 500 (1.15)^50

Evaluate this on your calculator.
