Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither.

It is a complex number. The - sign is the culprit. sqrt(-144) = i * sqrt(144) = 12 i

The "i" is an imaginary representation for the square root of -1. It is a definition for sqrt(-1). So a new category of number has been created. The ancients would have been profoundly surprised to learn that such a thing existed.

Find the value for β that makes cosβ = sin15 true.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation for which you need to solve for the value of the missing angle beta.

$cos\beta =sin(15)$

sin(15) has a decimal answer that you will find on your calculator. Finding that value makes this equation then

cosβ = .2588190451

Now use the 2nd button and then the cos button to find the angle that has a cos of that decimal. When you hit 2nd then cos, you should see this on your screen:

cos⁻¹ (

After that open parenthesis, enter you decimal then hit the enter button to find the angle. You should get 75, which is Choice B.
