Please help with one question!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please @tcarroll010

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[t = \frac{ 3 }{ \pi }\times \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{ h }{ 7 } \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, just plug in your various values of the "h" and you'll get your "t".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. so thats for A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do 1, then 3, then 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are 1,3, and 5 coming from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so the equation is the answer for a. now i have to plug in for b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are plugging in those values of "h". From part "b".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok! but the equation is A right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We got it by dividing both sides by 7, taking the inverse cos, multiplying by 3, then dividing by pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Very good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now do i leave it like this ^^^ or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It depends on what your teacher is looking for in format, but you probably have to simplify those. You will have to set your calculator to "radians" when you do the inverse cos.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not really sure how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 1.36, 1.07, 0.74 You can use the calculator in your computer if you have Windows. Put it to scientific and hit the radians button.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im gonna try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After you hit "radians", you will hit INV (inverse) and cos-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what about C.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Similar to "b" except you use -1, -3, and -5 instead of the positives like you used in "b".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool! thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uw! Good luck to you in all of your studies and thx for the recognition! @lala2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Always nice working with you as you are nice always! @lala2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh thank you! I really apperciate your help! you help me understand things very well! when i am done figuring these out can you tell me if im correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, np!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im having trouble putting this into the calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's ok, take your time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first i put radians.. then INV and cos^-1 then i multiply it by -1 divided by 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are these the right steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, set your calculator to "radians". Then, put in, for the first one, 1/7, get the INV Cos-1, then multiply by 3, then divide by pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you using the Windows calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.36?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.36 is the first one, you're doing well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am.. and that is correct so now i use -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.64?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for b: Using 1, 3, 5 -> 1.36311, 1.07705, 0.74026 for c: Using -1, -3, -5 -> 1.63689, 1.9229, 2.2597

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it! Thhannnkkkks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I might be able to get you a graph if you want to hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you dont have to do all of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i understand! I really do apperciate it!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could i tag you in one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but after my lunch, I'm starved!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok!
