24) sin x = 1/3 Find cos x.

liq [111]

Answer:

$\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine of an angle is defined as the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse of a given right-angled triangle;

sin x = ( opposite / hypotenuse)

The opposite side to the angle x is thus 1 unit while the hypotenuse is 3 units. We need to determine the adjacent side to the angle x. We use the Pythagoras theorem since we are dealing with right-angled triangle;

The adjacent side would be;

$\sqrt{9-1}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

The cosine of an angle is given as;

cos x = (adjacent side / hypotenuse)

Therefore, the cos x would be;

$\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}$

Is the point 3/5 and 4/5 corresponds to an angle in the unit circle what is the csc

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

csc = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the two given points 3/5 and 4/5 are the two sides of a triangle and a right angle 0 with legs x and y and z as its hypotenuse.

Then using Pythagoras Theorem:

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

$z^2=(\frac{3}{5} )^2+(\frac{4}{5} )^2$

$z^2 = \frac{9}{25} + \frac{16}{25}$

$z^2=\frac{25}{25}$

$z^2=1$

Taking square root on both the sides:

$z=1$

Now, $sin\alpha=\frac{4}{5}$

and we know that $csc = \frac{1}{sin\alpha }$

Therefore, csc = 5/4.

The function f(x)=-(x-3)^2 +9 can be used to represent the area of a rectangle with the perimeter of 12 units, as a function of

Ivenika [448]

Maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$

Explanation:

Considering the dimensions to be in cm

$f(x) = -(x-3)^{2} +9\\f(x) = -(x^{2} +9 - 6x)+9\\f(x) = -x^{2} +6x\\f'(x) = -2x+6\\-2x+6 = 0\\2x=6\\x=3cm\\\\$

Putting the value of x = 3

$Perimeter = 2(x+b)\\12 = 2(3+b)\\6 = 3+b\\b= 3cm$

$Area of rectangle = x X b\\ = 3 X 3\\ = 9cm^{2}$

Therefore, maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$
