Because the phrase 'right angle' indicates 90 degrees whereas there is no such angle as a 'left angle'

If the signs are the same, add the absolute values and keep the sign.

If the signs are different, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.

It is an obtuse angle.

Linear speed = change in linear displacement (from some fixed point)/time for that change. [Although this works in all everyday situations, the Theory of Relativity shows that there is no fixed frame of reference and so no fixed point.]

The base is an equilateral triangle and so the volume works out as follows:-

0.5*122*sin(60)*10 = 623.538 cubic cm to 3 decimal places

It depends on the person's height. Or, more precisely, the distance between the ground and the center of the eyeball. But assuming the earth were a perfect sphere: Average radius of earth = 6,372,797 meters Draw a circle representing the earth. Then draw a stick figure standing on the earth - it doesn't have to be to scale. Draw a line from the stick figure's head to form a tangent to the circle. Call this "line A". This line is the "line of sight", and the point at which it touches the circle is the farthest the person can see. Now draw a line from the center of the circle to the point where the line of sight touches the circle. Call this "line B". It should form a right angle (90 degrees) with line A. Now draw a third line from the center of the circle to the head of the stick figure. Call this "line C". Lines A, B, and C now form a "right triangle", because of the right angle at the intersection of A and B. Line C, because it is opposite the right angle, is called the hypotenuse. Now, you know the length of line B (the radius of earth, 6,372,797 meters). And once you make an assumption about the height of the stick figure (say, 2 meters), you also know the length of line C (6,372,799 meters). And using trigonometry, you can figure out the measurement of the angle between lines B and C. The cosine of an angle is the measurement of the line between the angle in question and the right angle; divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The "adjacent" line is line B, and the hypotenuse is line C. For this angle, that ratio, the cosine, is 6,372,797 / 6,372,799, or 0.9999996. From a trigonometric table (or a scientific calculator), you can discover that the angle that corresponds with this cosine value is approximately 0.0454 degrees. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, this angle is about is about 1/7930 of the circumference of the circle. And the circle in question, the earth, has an average circumference of 40,041,470 meters. Dividing by 7930 results in 5048.88 meters, or a little over 5 kilometers. Remember, however, that this is based on an assumed height of 2 meters, which is very tall for a human. A shorter person would not be able to see as far; a taller person could see farther. But there are diminishing returns. For example, a 4 meter-tall person can't see twice as far as a 2-meter-tall person, but a 1-meter-tall person can see more than half as far as a 2-meter-tall person. The foregoing explanation of the Pythagorean theorem used to find the unknown side of a triangle (A2+B2+C2) works fine, but is rather cumbersome when two of the sides are measured from the center of the earth. A simpler formula is to multiply 1.17 times the square root of the height of the observation point (eyeball). So, if a person's eye is 6 feet above the surface of the earth, multiply the square root of 6 (2.45) times 1.17 to find that the object you're looking at is about 2.87 nautical miles away. (for statute miles, multiply your answer by 1.15) This "simpler" formula simply doesn't work. First of all, it's an approximation at best, and the further you get away from a median height, the more erroneous it gets. Second, it only works with English units. It won't work with metric. For that matter, it doesn't work with anything other than feet. Well, you could make it work with other units, if someone did the math and figured out what the constant would have to be in each case. But "the math" in this case, is the "cumbersome" method that I outlined in the first answer to this question. And, by the way, my method has nothing to do with the Pythagorean theorem. But now that you mention it, the Pythagorean theorem is much easier (and only slightly less precise) than my method. It is also easier (and much more precise) than your method. And, of course, it works with metric units. AND you don't have to remember the constants, just the formula. A-squared plus B-squared equals C-squared. Where A is the diameter of earth, C is the diameter of earth plus the height of the observer, and solve for B. If you can't handle the big numbers, buy a calculator.

There are many occasions.

At 12:00:10.9090... the hour and minte hand will be 1 degree apart.

A constant function is just a horizontal line.

To graph the function y=5 or f(x)=5, just draw a horizontal line at y=5 and x=0.

The answer depends on what other information you have about the triangle.

It is the abscissa.

Then an angle of 58 degrees will be at the bottom of the ladder.

Use trigonometry and the sine ratio:

sin = opp/hyp and hyp = opp/sin

hyp = 20/sin(58) = 23.58356807

length of ladder = 24 feet to the nearest foot

it comes from the Latin 'vehiculum' meaning conveyance

There r 6 trignometric functions,namely

sin a

cos a

tan a

cosec a

sec a

cot a

where a is the angle.

Trigonometric functions didn't exist without angles.

The computer processor in the ultrasound machine calculates the angle at which the sound beam left the probe and the angle and speed at which the beam is reflected back at the probe. From this the depth of the reflecting tissue and the shape can be determined based upon simple triagulation, which is a trignometric calculation.

Yes: they represent the same thing.

The answer depends on what information you do have. For instance, if you have the sine, the cosecant is simply 1 over the sine. Formally, the cosecant is hypotenuse over opposite.

By using the distance formula. We calculate the difference of the like coordinates (e.g longitude1-longitude2 or latitude1-latitude2 etc) then add the "squares" of the differences. And finally taking the square root of the answer.

There are three types of trigonometric functions, they are:

1- Plane Trigonometric Functions

2- Inverse Trigonometric Functions and

3- Hyperbolic Trigonometric Functions

if sec A-tan A = a/b

find the value of cos A.

Into minutes, then seconds.

A 1 degree angle is 60", 0'

or, a 1 degree angle can be expressed as 0", 3600'

a .5 degree angle can be expressed as 30", and so on.

The period of an 8000 Hz sine wave is 0.125 milliseconds. (1/8000)

Pre-calculus is hard because it is very algebra intensive but forces you to also incorporate your geometry and trigonometry to solve complex problems. Not only this, but precalculus is designed to expose you to a few of the oddities in advanced mathmatics (holes, end behavior etc).

Calculus is then even more difficult because it differs so greatly from pre-calculus. rather than definite answers and standard functions, you now move into "theoretical math," where many problems either have very complex answers or no answer at all, and very often, you are required to prove that your answers are logical using mathematical therums. however without your strong base from pre-calculus, trying to learn these new concepts would be almost completely impossible.

My advice you anyone struggling in either calculus or pre-calculus would be to keep at it. study hard and practice as much as possible. Good luck!
