Find the value of cos θ for the angle shown.
\[(4,-\sqrt{33})\]
so far i got up to \[\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-\sqrt{44)^{2}}}\]
Yes, use that formula to find the missing side
You put -33 in the question, but -44 in the formula. make sure you have the right one
sorry i ment to put -33
\[\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(-\sqrt{33)}^{2}}\]
Okay, good. do you know how to solve that ?
not the \[-\sqrt{33^{2}}\] part
When you square a radical, it just cancels it completely. So it's just 33
it would become a positve 33
Correct, when you square a number, any number, it's always positive
ok so it would become 7
Thats right so |dw:1385517455811:dw|
then it asking for cos so it would be \[ \frac{ adjacent}{ hypotense }\]
That's right, I just posted the graph, what do you think the cos of the angle is?
\[\frac{ \sqrt{33} }{ 7 }\]
That's the sin of the angle
