if cos a = 1/3 then the positive value of tan 1/2a is? i did radical 2/3 over 4/3, but im not sure what to do now.

1 answer:

6 0

Hello,

$tg( \frac{a}{2} )=\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{1-cos(a)}{1+cos(a)} } \\
=\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{ \dfrac{2}{3} }{ \dfrac{4}{3} } } =\pm \sqrt{ \dfrac{1}{2} } =\pm \dfrac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} \\

+\ if\ \dfrac{a}{2}\ in\ 1\ quadrant\ (or \ 3)}\\

-\ if\ \dfrac{a}{2}\ in\ 2\ quadrant\ (or \ 4)}\\

The total amount of spending per year, in billions, on pets in a certain country x years after 2000 is given by the following

Kamila [148]

Answer:

40.4502 billion dollars

51.3432 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total amount spent in billions in pets x years after year, 2000 ;

P(x)=2.1786x + 25.2

Amount spent in 2007 ;

x = 2007 - 2000 = 7 years

Put x = 7 in the equation :

P(7)=2.1786(7) + 25.2 = 40.4502

Amount spent in 2012 :

x = 2012 - 2000 = 12 years

Put x = 12 in the equation :

P(12) = 2.1786(12) + 25.2 = 51.3432

The amount spent in billik dollars on pets in :

2007 = $404502 billion

2012 = $51.3432 billion

Which of the following steps can be performed so that the square root property may easily be applied to 2x2 = 16? (1 point)

Ivan

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Option \ 2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^2 =16$

The square root property requires a quantity squared by itself on one side of the equation. The only quantity squared is x, so divide both sides by 2 before applying the square root property.

The x variable should be isolated on one side of the equation. The x variable is squared so before performing the square root property where we take the square root of both sides, we divide both sides by 2, then take the square root of both sides.

Dividing both sides by 2.

$\displaystyle \frac{2x^2 }{2} =\frac{16}{2}$
