Given:

Right triangle XYZ has right angle Z.

\sin(x)=\dfrac{12}{13}

To find:

The value of \cos x.

Solution:

We know that,

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

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

\cos(x)=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

For a triangle, all trigonometric ratios are positive. So,

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}

It is given that \sin(x)=\dfrac{12}{13}. After substituting this value in the above equation, we get

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{12}{13})^2}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{1-\dfrac{144}{169}}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{\dfrac{169-144}{169}}

\cos(x)=\sqrt{\dfrac{25}{169}}

On further simplification, we get

\cos(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{169}}

\cos(x)=\dfrac{5}{13}

Therefore, the required value is \cos(x)=\dfrac{5}{13}.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Distance/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance=Speed times Time, and since the time is 2 hours, we can say Distance=Speed times 2 hours.

Now we divide both sides by 2 hours, resulting in Distance/2 Hours= Speed.

A new cream was developed to reduce the irritation caused by poison ivy. To test the effectiveness, researchers put an ad online
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Single Blind (option 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The subjects don't know which cream they have but the technicians do.

If the subject knows which cream they have then they can be influenced by the placebo effect. If they don't know but the technicians do then the technicians will be able to look at unbiased responses from the subjects and tell if it works or not. If the technicians don't know which cream each subject has then they won't be able to learn anything from the responses. The technicians need to know which cream each subject has and the subjects can't know which cream they had.

Question 1 (1 point)
Natalija [7]

Answer: OPTION B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 48=-8(\frac{3b}{4}+2) you can find an equivalent equation by simplifying it.

You need to remember the multiplication of signs:

(-)(-)=+\\(+)(+)=+\\(+)(-)=-

Now you can apply the Distributive property:

48=\frac{(-8)(3b)}{4}+(-8)(2)\\\\48=\frac{-24b}{4}-16

Simplifying the equation, you get:

48=-6b-16

You can observe that this equivalent equation matches with the equation provided in option B.
