What is cos 45? Please HELP !!!

Answers

Answer:

A) Cos ( 45) = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : Triangle 90 -45 -45 .

To find : What is cos 45.

Solution : We have given

Triangle 90 -45 -45  

Hypotenuse = √2 ,

Adjacent side to 45 degree = 1 .

By the trigonometric ratio : cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to angle  to the hypotenuse .

Cos ( theta) = [tex]\frac{Adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex].

Plug the values  Hypotenuse = √2 , Adjacent side to 45 degree = 1 .

Cos ( 45) = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

Therefore, A) Cos ( 45) = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex].

The cosine of 45° is √2 / 2.

In a triangle with angles of 90°, 45°, and 45°, we can use the trigonometric functions to find the ratios of the sides.

In this case, we want to find the cosine of 45°.

The cosine of an angle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

In the given triangle, the adjacent side to the 45° angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is √2.

Using the formula for cosine, we have:

cos 45° = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Substituting the values, we get:

cos 45° = 1 / √2

To rationalize the denominator, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by √2:

cos 45° = (1 / √2) * (√2 / √2) = √2 / 2

Therefore, the cosine of 45° is √2 / 2.

A bin is constructed from sheet metal with a square base and 4 equal rectangular sides. if the bin is constructed from 48 square feet of sheet metal, then what is the largest volume of such a bin? what are its dimensions?

Answers

This is a problem of maxima and minima using derivative.

In the figure shown below we have the representation of this problem, so we know that the base of this bin is square. We also know that there are four square rectangles sides. This bin is a cube, therefore the volume is:

V = length x width x height

That is:

[tex]V = xxy = x^{2}y[/tex]

We also know that the bin is constructed from 48 square feet of sheet metal, so:

Surface area of the square base = [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

Surface area of the rectangular sides = [tex]4xy[/tex]

Therefore, the total area of the cube is:

[tex]A = 48 ft^{2} = x^{2} + 4xy[/tex]

Isolating the variable y in terms of x:

[tex]y = \frac{48- x^{2} }{4x}[/tex]

Substituting this value in V:

[tex]V = x^{2}( \frac{48- x^{2} }{x}) = 48x- x^{3} [/tex]

Getting the derivative and finding the maxima. This happens when the derivative is equal to zero:

[tex]\frac{dv}{dx} = 48-3x^{2} =0[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]x = \sqrt{\frac{48}{3}} = \sqrt{16} = 4[/tex]

Solving for y:

[tex]y = \frac{48- 4^{2} }{(4)(4)} = 2[/tex]

Then, the dimensions of the largest volume of such a bin is:

Length = 4 ft
Width =  4 ft
Height = 2 ft

And its volume is:

[tex]V = (4^{2} )(2) = 32 ft^{3}[/tex]

Hamilton received a 75 on his algebra exam. The professor is allowing students to take a 7-question bonus quiz to improve their algebra exam score. Each question answered correctly on the bonus quiz will add 3 points to the exam score. Hamilton needs to receive at least a 90 on his exam score in order to make an "A" for the semester. If x represents the number of questions answered correctly on the bonus quiz, which of the following inequalities symbolizes this situation?


A. 3x + 75 < 90
B. 7x + 75 > 90
C. 3x + 75 > 90
D. 7x + 75 < 90




Answers

The answer is A.

Since each question answered right would add 3 points, the amount of questions answered correctly would be x. You then going to add that to his original score, 75. He needs at least a 90, so 90 is the lowest test grade he can afford. Therefore, 90 is should be the greatest number since there are no less than, equal to and such. Knowing that, the answer would be A

Hope this helps!

Final answer:

The correct inequality should be 3x + 75 ≥ 90 to indicate Hamilton needs at least 90 on his exam. The closest option given, which is not entirely accurate, is C. 3x + 75 > 90.

Explanation:

To determine the inequality that represents Hamilton’s situation, we need to calculate how many points he requires to reach a score of at least an “A”, which is 90. Each correct bonus question adds 3 points to his exam score of 75. We need to find the number of questions, x, Hamilton must answer correctly to achieve a total score of 90 or more. Therefore, the inequality that encompasses this scenario is 3x + 75 ≥ 90 because each correct answer contributes 3 points towards closing the 15-point gap between his current score and the desired score of 90.

However, the options given do not include the correct representation which would be 3x + 75 ≥ 90. Instead, the closest option is C. 3x + 75 > 90, which would imply that Hamilton must score more than 90, which is not a requirement for making an “A” (as “A” can include exactly 90).

In a certain population, 95% of the people have rh-positive blood. suppose that two people from this population get married. what is the probability that they are both rh-negative, thus making it inevitable that their children will be rh-negative? web assign answer

Answers

P(rh-positive) = 95% = 0.95

Therefore,
P(rh-negative) = 1-P(rh-positive) = 1-0.95 = 0.05

Then,
P(rh-negative) for both parents = 0.05*0.05 = 0.0025

Final answer:

The probability that both partners in a marriage are Rh-negative in a predominantly Rh-positive population is 0.25% or 1 in 400, critical for understanding the risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn in subsequent pregnancies.

Explanation:

The probability that both people in a marriage are Rh-negative in a population where 95% of the people are Rh-positive is calculated using the complement. Assuming that 5% of the population is Rh-negative, we would calculate the probability that both parents are Rh-negative by multiplying the individual probabilities:

P(both Rh-negative) = P(one Rh-negative) × P(other Rh-negative) = 0.05 × 0.05 = 0.0025

Therefore, the probability that both people are Rh-negative, and thus all of their children would also be Rh-negative, is 0.25% or 1 in 400.

Rh factor and blood type compatibility are crucial in reproduction and transfusion medicine. Understanding these concepts can help prevent complications such as hemolytic disease of the newborn, which occurs during second or subsequent pregnancies due to sensitization of the Rh-negative mother's immune system to Rh-positive fetal cells from a previous pregnancy.

A carpenter earns $18 an hour for a regular work week (40) hours. He earns time and a half for overtime. The weekly wage function is W(h)={                  18h                                         040} where h is the number of hours worked for the week. Find the wage if the carpenter worked 42.5 hours in the week

Answers

18×40=720 regular time
18×1.5=27 overtime per hour
27×2.5= 67.5 overtime

$720+$67.50=$787.50

Final answer:

To find the carpenter's weekly wage after working 42.5 hours, we calculate the regular pay for 40 hours at $18 per hour, which is $720, and then add the earnings from 2.5 hours of overtime at time and a half ($27 per hour), which is $67.5. The total weekly wage is $787.5.

Explanation:

To calculate the weekly wage of the carpenter who worked 42.5 hours, with $18 per hour for the first 40 hours and time and a half for overtime, we will use the wage function provided: W(h) = 18h for hours up to 40, and for hours above 40, it's (18 × 1.5) × (h - 40). Let's apply this to the 42.5 hours worked.

The carpenter's earnings for the regular 40 hours are $720 (which is 40 hours × $18). For the 2.5 hours of overtime, he earns time and a half, which is $27 per hour (18 × 1.5). The overtime earnings are $67.5 (2.5 hours × $27). So, the total wage is:

$720 + $67.5 = $787.5

Therefore, the carpenter's weekly wage for working 42.5 hours at the given rate is $787.5.

The y values are always 3 times the previous value.
This is an exponential function.

We need to find a and b.
Look at x = 0.
For x = 0, y = 4.

[tex] y = a(b)^x [/tex]

[tex] 4 = a(b)^0 [/tex]

Since b^0 = 1, this simplifies to

[tex] 4 = a [/tex]

Now we know a = 4. We have

[tex] y = 4(b)^x [/tex]

Look at x = 1. For x = 1, y = 12.

[tex] 12 = 4(b)^1 [/tex]

[tex] 12 = 4b [/tex]

[tex] b = 3 [/tex]

Now that we know a and b, we can write the function.

[tex] y = 4(3)^x [/tex]

Now that you have the function written out, notice the following.
In the exponential equation we found, the number raised to x
is the number you multiply each y value to get the next y value.
In this case, each y value is 3 times the previous one, so you have 3^x.
The way you find "a" in the exponential equation is to look at the y-coordinate
when x = 0. When x = 0, b^x is 1, so b^x drops out, and you get "a" equal to
the y-value. In this case, when x = 0, y = 4, so "a" is 4.
With b = 3, and a = 4, you can quickly write:
y = 4(3)^x.

A quadratic function has the form

Use point (3, 5) in the equation above:

5 = a(3^2) + 3b + c

9a + 3b + c = 5     Equation 1

Use point (4, 3) in the equation above:

3 = a(4^2) + 4b + c

Use point (5, 3) in the equation above.

5 = a(5^2) + 5b + c
25a + 5b + c = 5       Equation 3.

Now solve the system of equations of equations 1, 2, and 3 to find the coefficients, a, b, and c.

9a + 3b + c = 5
16a + 4b + c = 3
25a + 5b + c = 5

Subtract the first equation from the second equation.
Subtract the second equation from the third equation.
You get
7a + b = -2
9a + b = 2

Subtract the first equation above from the second equation to get.
2a = 4
a = 2

Substitute:
7a + b = -2
7(2) + b = -2
b = -16

9a + 3b + c = 5
9(2) + 3(-16) + c = 5
18 - 48 + c = 5
c - 30 = 5
c = 35
