If 180° < α < 270°, cos⁡ α = −817, 270° < β < 360°, and sin⁡ β = −45, what is cos⁡ (α + β)?

eduard

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

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

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

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

Find all the complex roots. Write the answer in exponential form.

dezoksy [38]

We have to calculate the fourth roots of this complex number:

$z=9+9\sqrt[]{3}i$

We start by writing this number in exponential form:

$\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{9^2+(9\sqrt[]{3})^2} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+81\cdot3} \\ r=\sqrt[]{81+243} \\ r=\sqrt[]{324} \\ r=18 \end{gathered}$ $\theta=\arctan (\frac{9\sqrt[]{3}}{9})=\arctan (\sqrt[]{3})=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Then, the exponential form is:

$z=18e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}$

The formula for the roots of a complex number can be written (in polar form) as:

$z^{\frac{1}{n}}=r^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot\lbrack\cos (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n})\rbrack\text{ for }k=0,1,\ldots,n-1$

Then, for a fourth root, we will have n = 4 and k = 0, 1, 2 and 3.

To simplify the calculations, we start by calculating the fourth root of r:

$r^{\frac{1}{4}}=18^{\frac{1}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{18}$

<em>NOTE: It can not be simplified anymore, so we will leave it like this.</em>

Then, we calculate the arguments of the trigonometric functions:

$\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k}{4}=\frac{\pi}{8}+\frac{\pi}{2}k=\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{k}{2})$

We can now calculate for each value of k:

$\begin{gathered} k=0\colon \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{0}{2}))) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{\pi}{8}) \\ z_0=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot e^{i\frac{\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=1\colon \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}))) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{5\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{5\pi}{8})) \\ z_1=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{5\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=2\colon \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{2}))) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{9\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{9\pi}{8})) \\ z_2=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{9\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} k=3\colon \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))+i\cdot\sin (\pi(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{2}))) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}\cdot(\cos (\frac{13\pi}{8})+i\cdot\sin (\frac{13\pi}{8})) \\ z_3=\sqrt[4]{18}e^{i\frac{13\pi}{8}} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

The four roots in exponential form are

z0 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*π/8)

z1 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*5π/8)

z2 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*9π/8)

z3 = 18^(1/4)*e^(i*13π/8)

Active ingredient of a pill comprises 45% of the pill mass. If a pill contains 325 mg of active ingredient,

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to be able to write and then solve the equation needed for this. In words, this is what you are looking to solve: "The active ingredinet is 45% of the mass of the pill". Putting those words into an equation:

active ingredient = .45 (mass of pill). Since our active ingredient is 35 mg:

325 = .45m and divide by .45:

m = 722.2 mg

X+4 divided by x^2+16<br><br> Why can't it be simplified?

KonstantinChe [14]

Let's try to simplify x^2 + 16. It's a sum of two squares:

x^2 + 16 = 0

x^2 = -16

The problem is, we can't take a square root of a negative. This is where imaginary numbers come in.

Remember that square roots have a plus or minus symbol outside:

±√-16 = ±4i

Our two roots are 4i and -4i. Therefore, the trinomial simplifies to:

(x + 4i)(x - 4i)

If we attempt to divide x + 4 by these two binomials, we will find that 4 and 4i are not like terms. Therefore, we can't simplify this expression.
