Answer:

║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 228 ft below sea level, this is x' = -228 ft. Also, we have 690 ft above sea level, this is x" = 690 ft.

Since x is our elevation in feet, x ranges from -228 ≤ x ≤ 690.

To write an absolute value equation for x, we first take the average of the two values for the ranges to obtain the ideal value of x.

So, ideal value = [690 + (-228)]/2 = 462/2 = 231.

We also find the tolerance by taking the difference of both values and dividing by 2. So tolerance = [690 - (-228)]/2 = [690 + 228)]/2 = 918/2 = 459.

Subtracting 231 from each value of the inequality we have

-228 - 231 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 690 - 231

-459 ≤ x - 231 ≤ 459

Since we have in magnitude the values on the left and right side of the inequality,

So ║ x - 231 ║ ≤ 459

Answer:

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{84}{85}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=cos(\alpha)*cos(\beta)-sin(\alpha)*sin(\beta)$

Remember the identity

$cos^{2} (x)+sin^2(x)=1$

step 1

Find the value of $sin(\alpha)$

we have that

The angle alpha lie on the III Quadrant

The values of sine and cosine are negative

$cos(\alpha)=-\frac{8}{17}$

Find the value of sine

$cos^{2} (\alpha)+sin^2(\alpha)=1$

substitute

$(-\frac{8}{17})^{2}+sin^2(\alpha)=1$

$sin^2(\alpha)=1-\frac{64}{289}$

$sin^2(\alpha)=\frac{225}{289}$

$sin(\alpha)=-\frac{15}{17}$

step 2

Find the value of $cos(\beta)$

we have that

The angle beta lie on the IV Quadrant

The value of the cosine is positive and the value of the sine is negative

$sin(\beta)=-\frac{4}{5}$

Find the value of cosine

$cos^{2} (\beta)+sin^2(\beta)=1$

substitute

$(-\frac{4}{5})^{2}+cos^2(\beta)=1$

$cos^2(\beta)=1-\frac{16}{25}$

$cos^2(\beta)=\frac{9}{25}$

$cos(\beta)=\frac{3}{5}$

step 3

Find cos⁡ (α + β)

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=cos(\alpha)*cos(\beta)-sin(\alpha)*sin(\beta)$

we have

$cos(\alpha)=-\frac{8}{17}$

$sin(\alpha)=-\frac{15}{17}$

$sin(\beta)=-\frac{4}{5}$

$cos(\beta)=\frac{3}{5}$

substitute

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{8}{17}*\frac{3}{5}-(-\frac{15}{17})*(-\frac{4}{5})$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{24}{85}-\frac{60}{85}$

$cos(\alpha+\beta)=-\frac{84}{85}$
