A fraction is a short way to write a division problem. When you see a fraction, it means "the top number divided by the bottom number".
When you actually DO the division, the answer is the decimal that's equal to the fraction.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The "Pythagorean relation" between trig functions can be used to find the sine.
<h3>Pythagorean relation</h3>
The relation between sine and cosine is the identity ...
sin(x)² +cos(x)² = 1
This can be solved for sin(x) in terms of cos(x):
sin(x) = √(1 -cos(x)²)
<h3>Application</h3>
For the present case, using the given cosine value, we find ...
sin(x) = √(1 -(√3/2)²) = √(1 -3/4) = √(1/4)
sin(x) = 1/2

<em>Additional comment</em>
The sine and cosine of an angle are the y and x coordinates (respectively) of the corresponding point on the unit circle. The right triangle with these legs will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem with ...
sin(x)² + cos(x)² = 1 . . . . . . where 1 is the hypotenuse (radius of unit circle)
A calculator can always be used to verify the result.

Answer:</h3>
f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can fill in the vertex (h, k) values immediately in the vertex form ...
... f(x) = a(x -h)² +k
To find the value of a, we solve the equation for a at some point other than the vertex. The given point is (0, -1), so we can use that:
... -1 = a(0 -2)² +3
... -4 = 4a . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, simplify
... -1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Now, we know the function is ...
... f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
