The infinite series description of trig functions is much neater when the argument is radians. For example, for small angles, sin(x) ≈ x when x is in radians. You could say that radians is the "natural" measurement unit for angles, just as "e" is the "natural" base of logarithms.
If the angle measure were degrees or grads or arcseconds, obnoxious scale factors would show up everywhere.
Answer:
24/4/-a+12=/9d
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s -7
7-(-4) is 7+4, which is 11
3 times -6 is -18
11 + -18 is -7

Answer:
D. Henry's started farther, went faster
Step-by-step explanation:
Henry's balloon traveled 18 additional miles (from 30 to 48) in 2 hours, so had a speed of 18mi/(2h) = 9 mi/h. The equation for his position could be ...
y = 9x +30 . . . . . 9 is the rate of change; 30 is the initial value
__
Comparing this to Tasha's position function, we see her balloon started 20 miles from town and traveled 8 miles per hour.
__
Henry started farther from town and traveled faster.
