Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Law of Cosines when you know the lengths of two sides, and the angle between them. That is not the case here. You know b=24, c=21, and B=61°, but B is not between b and c.

Use the Law of Sines.

sinC/c = sinB/b

sinC = c×sinB/b

C = arcsin(c×sinB/b)

= arcsin(24sin61°)/21)

≈ 49.9°

A = 180° - B - C ≈ 69.1

a/sinA = b/sinB

a = sinA×b/sinB

= sin(69.1°)×21/sin(61°)

≈ 25.6 units

Draw and label a standard Oblique Triangle, as we’ve done in our previous lessons.

Determine the given congruence, either SAS or SSS, and pick the equation that helps you solve for either a missing side or angle.

Plug into your chosen equation and solve.

The "Law of Cosines" can be used to calculate one side of a triangle when the angle opposite and the other two sides are known. The "Law of Cosines" can be expressed as c2 = a2 + b2 - 2 a b cos C (1)

The cosine rule is an extension of this mathematic principal that makes it effective for non-right triangles and states that in regard to a certain angle, the square of the side of the triangle opposite that angle is equal to the squares of the other two sides added together, minus two times both..

If we approximate the function y=sin(x) with a0+a1 x a2 x^2 +a3 x^3, what is a0,a2,a2,a3?

Rashid [163]

The coefficients $a_0,a_1,a_2,a_3$ could be chosen to be the coefficients in the Maclaurin series of $\sin(x)$ .

We have

$y = \sin(x) \approx a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3 \\\\ \implies y(0) = 0 = a_0$

$y' = \cos(x) \approx a_1 + 2a_2 x + 3a_3 x^2 \\\\ \implies y'(0) = 1 = a_1$

$y'' = -\sin(x) \approx 2a_2 + 6a_3 x \\\\ \implies y''(0) = 0 = 2a_2$

$y''' = -\cos(x) \approx 6a_3 \\\\ \implies y'''(0) = -1 = 6a_3$

It follows that $a_0=0$ , $a_1=1$ , $a_2=0$ , and $a_3 = -\frac16$ .

Answer:

7.) 7

10.) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When it means "evaluate the function", it's in essence asking us to see what the function spits out when we feed it a certain input. Our inputs are our x values, which spit out a y value.

Evaluating the function when x = 1:

Let's look at where the function has an x value of 1. We see it near the bottom of the table and see the y value associated with the input is 7. So when the function is fed 1 as an input, it spits out 7.

Evaluating the function when f(x) = - 2:

This one is a weird because of the new notation. Just think of it as some value of f, which we don't know (so we represent it as an x-variable) must equal -2. So let's look at our table to find out where our output is -2. We find that when f(x) = -2 the input is 0. So the input which gives -2 is 0.
