Answer: x = 115.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

I suppose that we have the equation:

2*cos(x + 40°) = 1/2 for 0° < x < 360°

Let's solve this.

First, we isolate the cosine function:

cos(x + 40°) = (1/2)/2 = 1/4

cos(x + 40°) = 1/4

Now we can use the Acos(x) function, remember that:

Acos(cos(x)) = x

cos(Acos(x)) = x

Then if we use this function in both sides, we get:

Acos( cos(x + 40°)) = Acos(1/4)

x + 40° = Acos(1/4) = 75.5°

x = 75.5° + 40° = 115.5°

x = 115.5°

Slope is negative for each...Remember Y-int and rise/run for slope.
Y=mx+b

Y= -2/3X - 2

Y= -5/2x + 2

The robber stole 280 dollars' worth of one-dollar bills. He also stole some 100-dollar bills, 50-dollar bills, and 20-dollar bil

salantis [7]

E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.

A juice recipe calls for 5 cups of grape juice for every 2 cups of peach juice are needed for a batch that uses 8 cups of peach

Ksivusya [100]

Answer: 20 cups of grape juice are needed for 8 cups of peach juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 times 4 is 20.

We must do this step because you need 2 cups for 1 batch, and times 4 that is 8. So then we multiplied 5 times 4.

So, 20 cups of grape juice are needed for 8 cups of peach juice.

Hope this answer helps you out!
