Cos(17pi/8)

cos(17π/8)

But π radians = 180°

17π/8 radians = (17/8) * 180 = 382.5

But this is more than 360°,  so we have the basic angle by subtracting 360°

382.5 - 360 = 22.5

cos(17π/8) = Cos22.5

Recall double angle formula for cos.

cos2θ = 2cos²θ - 1

Therefore

cos(2*22.5) = 2cos²(22.5) - 1

cos45 = 2cos²(22.5) - 1

(√2)/2  =  2cos²(22.5) - 1

2cos²(22.5) - 1 =  (√2)/2


2cos²(22.5)  = (√2)/2 + 1

 2cos²(22.5)  = (2 + √2) / 2

cos²(22.5) = (2 + √2) / 4

cos22.5  =   √( (2 + √2)/4) ................(note)

cos22.5 = √(2 + √2) / 2

Option (a) seems like the closest, comparing to (note) above.

80 percent of 90 is the same as 40 percent of what number?
Nadya [2.5K]

    80% of 90 may be found by multiply 90 by 0.8. Once you have that number, you can use it to set up a proportion with 2/5 (the simplified form of 40/100). Thus, you will write out 72/x = 2/5, since x is the number that you're solving for. Multiply numerators and denominators of opposite fractions to get the equation 72(5) = 2x. Finally, simplify 360 = 2x by dividing both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. You should have your answer by now.

15/124 times 230/30 divided by 230/124
Viktor [21]
<span>Okay, the first thing to do is to make it so you're multiplying everything instead of dividing by that last fraction. To divide by a fraction, you just multiply by its reciprocal. So then, it's 15/124 x 230/30 x 124/230. After that, let's organize it into one single giant fraction since order of operations allows us to arrange division and multiplication however we want. Then it's 15x230x124 / 124x30x230. Then, you'll notice that the 230s and 124s can both be canceled out, leaving 15/30. After simplifying, your final answer is 1/2.  hope this help you</span>

kirill [66]

Answer:

If inflation rate is positive, purchasing power of money decreases thus the rate of returns on investment decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student has to take two quizzes tomorrow. He has only enough time to study for one of them. The history quiz has 5 true or fal
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.
