Answer: x = 41.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve:

Cos(x) = 3/4

Such that this is on quadrant 1.

(if x is in degrees, the possible values of x will be: 0° ≤ x ≤ 90°)

To solve this we need to remember the inverse functions.

If we have two functions f(x) and g(x), these functions are inverses if:

f( g(x) ) = x

g( f(x) ) = x

Then the inverse of the cosine function (this function is "arcos(x)") is such that:

Arcos( cos(x) ) = x

Then in our equation:

Cos(x) = 3/4

We can apply the inverse function to both sides to get:

Arcos(Cos(x)) = Arcos(3/4)

x = Arcos(3/4)

(To find the Arcos function in your calculator, you need to use the button "inv" and then the "cos" button, and remember to have your calculator in deg mode)

x = Arcos(3/4) = 41.4°

Evaluate the limit of lim/n->infinity 6n^2+5/3n^2

castortr0y [4]

we are given

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{6n^2+5}{3n^2}$

we can see that

degree of numerator = degree of denominator =2

so, we can divide both numerator and denominator by n^2

and we get

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{(6n^2+5)/n^2}{(3n^2/n^2)}$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{(6n^2/n^2)+(5/n^2)}{(3n^2/n^2)}$

now, we can simplify it

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{6+(5/n^2)}{3}$

now, we can plug n=inf

$= \frac{6+(5/(\infty))}{3}$

$= \frac{6+0}{3}$

$= \frac{6}{3}$

$= 2$ ...............Answer

The problem ask to calculate the corresponding distance on the new patio where as the the patio will have two long parallel side and an area of 360 square feet and the area of the similar patio is 250 square feet and its long parallel sides are 12.5 feet apart. To calculate this the ratio of the distance of the two polygon is P:Q so it means that the are is also P^2:Q^2 so the ratio of the area is 36:25 so the the distance of the new patio is 18 feet

The maximum radius of each ball is 3.33 cm.

<h3>What is a Cylinder?</h3>

A cylinder is a three-dimensional figure which is made of two parallel circular bases separated at a certain distance by a curved surface of the same radius as that of the bases.

A 20 cm nail perfectly fits the cylinder.

So the height of the cylinder = 20cm.

A sphere is a three-dimensional geometrical figure analogous to a circle. All the points of the sphere are at the same distance from the center.

If 3 spheres have to be fitted inside the cylinder,

The sum of the diameter of the spheres will be equal to the height of the cylinder.

The spherical balls are identical and so will have the same diameter

Let the maximum diameter of the sphere that can fit in the cylinder is d cm

Then,

d + d + d = 20

3d = 20

d = 20/3 = 6.67 cm

r = 3.33 cm

The maximum radius that the spheres can have to fit in the cylinder is 3.33 cm.
