Cevap: $30^\circ, 90^\circ, 150^\circ$

Cevap

The values of

x

in the interval

0^\circ \le x \le 360^\circ

satisfying the equation are

30^\circ, 90^\circ,

and

150^\circ

.

By substituting

\cos^2 x = 1 - \sin^2 x

, the equation reduces to

2\sin^2 x - 3\sin x + 1 = 0

, which factors into

(2\sin x - 1)(\sin x - 1) = 0

. Solving

\sin x = 1/2

gives

x = 30^\circ

and

x = 150^\circ

within the specified domain. Solving

\sin x = 1

gives

x = 90^\circ

. Combining these yields the set of solutions

30^\circ, 90^\circ, 150^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use the Pythagorean trigonometric identity

\cos^2 x = 1 - \sin^2 x

to rewrite the equation in terms of

\sin x

.

2(1 - \sin^2 x) + 3\sin x - 3 = 0 \implies 2 - 2\sin^2 x + 3\sin x - 3 = 0

Converting the equation to involve a single trigonometric function allows it to be solved as a quadratic equation.

2

Simplify and rearrange the equation into standard quadratic form.

-2\sin^2 x + 3\sin x - 1 = 0 \implies 2\sin^2 x - 3\sin x + 1 = 0

Multiplying by

-1

simplifies factoring.

3

Factor the quadratic equation

(2\sin x - 1)(\sin x - 1) = 0

to solve for

\sin x

.

\sin x = \frac{1}{2}

or

\sin x = 1

Setting each linear factor to zero yields the possible values for

\sin x

.

4

Determine all values of

x

in the domain

0^\circ \le x \le 360^\circ

for each case.

For

\sin x = \frac{1}{2}

,

x = 30^\circ

and

x = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ

. For

\sin x = 1

,

x = 90^\circ

.

Sine is positive in the first and second quadrants, and equals 1 at

90^\circ

.

What is the measure, in degrees, of each interior angle of a regular octagon (an 8-sided regular polygon)?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 135

Cevap

Each interior angle of a regular octagon measures 135 degrees.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with

n

sides is

(n - 2) \times 180^\circ

. For a regular octagon (

n = 8

), the total interior angle sum is

(8 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 1080^\circ

. Since all 8 interior angles of a regular octagon are congruent, dividing the total sum by 8 yields

135^\circ

for each interior angle.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the sum of all interior angles of the regular octagon.

Sum of interior angles =

(8 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 6 \times 180^\circ = 1080^\circ

.

The sum of interior angles for any

n

-sided polygon is

(n - 2) \times 180^\circ

.

2

Calculate the measure of a single interior angle.

Interior angle =

\frac{1080^\circ}{8} = 135^\circ

Three of the interior angles of a convex polygon are each $120^\circ$ , while the remaining interior angles are each $160^\circ$ . How many sides does the polygon have?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The polygon has 12 sides.

The sum of the interior angles of an

n

-sided polygon is

(n - 2) \times 180^\circ

. From the problem, the sum of the angles is

3 \times 120^\circ + (n - 3) \times 160^\circ = 160^\circ n - 120^\circ

. Equating

180^\circ(n - 2)

to

160^\circ n - 120^\circ

gives

180^\circ n - 360^\circ = 160^\circ n - 120^\circ

, which simplifies to

20^\circ n = 240^\circ

, yielding

n = 12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write down the standard formula for the sum of interior angles of an

n

-sided convex polygon.

Sum of interior angles =

(n - 2) \times 180^\circ

.

Any

n

-sided convex polygon can be split into

(n-2)

triangles, each having an interior angle sum of

180^\circ

.

2

Express the total sum of interior angles using the given values.

Sum =

3(120^\circ) + (n - 3)(160^\circ) = 360^\circ + 160^\circ n - 480^\circ = 160^\circ n - 120^\circ

.

Three angles are

120^\circ

, so the remaining

(n - 3)

angles must each equal

160^\circ

.

3

Equate the theoretical sum to the calculated sum.

180^\circ(n - 2) = 160^\circ n - 120^\circ \implies 180^\circ n - 360^\circ = 160^\circ n - 120^\circ

.

Both expressions represent the total interior angle sum of the same polygon.

4

Solve the equation for the number of sides

n

.

20^\circ n = 240^\circ \implies n = 12

.

Subtracting

160^\circ n

from both sides and adding

360^\circ

yields

20^\circ n = 240^\circ

.

Q

.

The back bearing of

P

from

is

060^\circ + 180^\circ = 240^\circ

.

To find the internal angle at

.

2

Calculate the interior angle

\angle PQR

AP : PB = 1 : 4

, we write

AP = x

and

PB = 4x

1

Calculate the constant product of chord segments passing through interior point

AP \cdot PB = R^2 - OP^2 = 13^2 - 5^2 = 169 - 25 = 144

.

By the intersecting chords theorem, the product of segments created by an interior point

P

on any chord equals

(R - d)(R + d) = R^2 - d^2

.

2

Set up an algebraic equation using the segment ratio

AP : PB = 1 : 4

.

Let

AP = x

and

PB = 4x

Expressing both chord segments in terms of a single variable

x

allows direct calculation of the segment lengths.

3

Solve for

x

to find the individual segment lengths.

x^2 = 36 \implies x = 6\text{ cm}

. Therefore,

AP = 6\text{ cm}

and

PB = 24\text{ cm}

Taking the positive square root gives the scale factor

x

since physical distances must be positive.

Cevap: $(156 - 36\pi)\text{ cm}^2$

Cevap

(156 - 36\pi)\text{ cm}^2

For an isosceles trapezium with an inscribed circle, the sum of opposite sides must be equal (

AB + CD = AD + BC = 26\text{ cm}

), giving slant side length

13\text{ cm}

. Using Pythagoras, the perpendicular distance (height) is

\sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = 12\text{ cm}

. The area of the trapezium is

\frac{1}{2}(18 + 8)(12) = 156\text{ cm}^2

. The inscribed circle has radius equal to half the height (

6\text{ cm}

), so its area is

\pi \times 6^2 = 36\pi\text{ cm}^2

. Subtracting the circle area from the trapezium area yields

Apply the property of a tangential quadrilateral to find the non-parallel sides

For a quadrilateral with an inscribed circle, the sum of opposite sides is equal:

AB + CD = AD + BC = 18 + 8 = 26\text{ cm}

. Since trapezium

ABCD

is isosceles,

AD = BC = 13\text{ cm}

.

Tangential quadrilaterals have equal sums of opposite side lengths.

2

Calculate the height

h

of the trapezium using the Pythagorean theorem

Dropping vertical altitudes from top vertices

C

and

D

creates right triangles at the base with horizontal leg

\frac{18 - 8}{2} = 5\text{ cm}

. Thus,

h = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{169 - 25} = 12\text{ cm}

.

The height of the trapezium forms the perpendicular leg of the right-angled side triangle.

3

Find the area of the trapezium and the inscribed circle

Area of trapezium

= \frac{1}{2}(AB + CD) \times h = \frac{1}{2}(18 + 8) \times 12 = 156\text{ cm}^2

. The diameter of the inscribed circle equals the height

h = 12\text{ cm}

, so its radius is

r = 6\text{ cm}

. Area of circle

= \pi r^2 = 36\pi\text{ cm}^2

.

The diameter of a circle inscribed between parallel bases equals the vertical height between those bases.

4

Subtract the area of the circle from the area of the trapezium

Remaining Area

= 156 - 36\pi\text{ cm}^2

.

The region inside the trapezium but outside the circle is the difference between their areas.

Cevap: $9$

Cevap

The value of

p

is

9

.

The line passing through

(1, -2)

and

(4, 7)

has a gradient of

m_1 = \frac{7 - (-2)}{4 - 1} = 3

. The equation

3x + py - 7 = 0

can be rewritten as

y = -\frac{3}{p}x + \frac{7}{p}

, giving a gradient of

m_2 = -\frac{3}{p}

. For perpendicular lines, the product of their gradients must equal

-1

, so

3 \times \left(-\frac{3}{p}\right) = -1

, which simplifies to

p = 9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the gradient (

m_1

) of the line passing through

(1, -2)

and

(4, 7)

m_1 = \frac{7 - (-2)}{4 - 1} = \frac{9}{3} = 3

The gradient between two points

(x_1, y_1)

and

(x_2, y_2)

is given by

\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

.

2

Express the line

3x + py - 7 = 0

in slope-intercept form (

y = mx + c

) to find its gradient (

m_2

)

py = -3x + 7 \implies y = -\frac{3}{p}x + \frac{7}{p}

, so

m_2 = -\frac{3}{p}

The coefficient of

x

when solved for

y

represents the gradient of the straight line.

3

Apply the perpendicularity condition

m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1

and solve for

p

3 \cdot \left(-\frac{3}{p}\right) = -1 \implies -\frac{9}{p} = -1 \implies p = 9

Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their gradients is

Find the value of $k$ if the point $P(k, 3)$ is equidistant from the points $A(1, 5)$ and $B(7, 1)$ .

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of

k

is 4.

Using the distance formula, the squared distance

PA^2 = (k-1)^2 + (3-5)^2 = (k-1)^2 + 4

, and

PB^2 = (k-7)^2 + (3-1)^2 = (k-7)^2 + 4

. Equating

PA^2 = PB^2

gives

(k-1)^2 = (k-7)^2

. Expanding both sides yields

k^2 - 2k + 1 = k^2 - 14k + 49

. Subtracting

k^2

from both sides gives

12k = 48

, which leads to

k = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the expressions for the squared distances

PA^2

and

PB^2

using the distance formula.

PA^2 = (k - 1)^2 + 4

and

PB^2 = (k - 7)^2 + 4

The distance formula between two points

(x_1, y_1)

and

(x_2, y_2)

is

d^2 = (x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2

.

2

Equate

PA^2

and

PB^2

since point

P

is equidistant from points

A

and

B

.

(k - 1)^2 + 4 = (k - 7)^2 + 4 \implies (k - 1)^2 = (k - 7)^2

Subtracting 4 from both sides simplifies the equality of squared distances.

3

Expand both sides and isolate

k

to find its numerical value.

k^2 - 2k + 1 = k^2 - 14k + 49 \implies 12k = 48 \implies k = 4

Canceling

Cevap: $456\pi\text{ cm}^3$

Cevap

The total volume of the trophy is

456\pi\text{ cm}^3

.

First, use the Pythagorean theorem on the cone to find its vertical height

h_{\text{cone}} = \sqrt{10^2 - 6^2} = 8\text{ cm}

. The volume of the cone is

\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2 (8) = 96\pi\text{ cm}^3

. The volume of the cylinder is

\pi (6)^2 (10) = 360\pi\text{ cm}^3

. Adding both gives a total volume of

456\pi\text{ cm}^3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the vertical height of the cone

h_{\text{cone}} = \sqrt{10^2 - 6^2} = \sqrt{100 - 36} = \sqrt{64} = 8\text{ cm}

The volume formula for a cone requires the vertical height (

h

), which forms a right-angled triangle with the radius (

r=6\text{ cm}

) and slant height (

l=10\text{ cm}

).

2

Calculate the volume of the conical part

V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 6^2 \times 8 = 96\pi\text{ cm}^3

The formula for the volume of a right circular cone is

V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h

.

3

Calculate the volume of the cylindrical part

V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi \times 6^2 \times 10 = 360\pi\text{ cm}^3

The formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder is

V = \pi r^2 h

.

4

Sum the volumes of both 3D shapes to get the total volume

V_{\text{total}} = 96\pi + 360\pi = 456\pi\text{ cm}^3

Cevap

The equation of the locus is

3x - 2y - 4 = 0

(or

3x - 2y = 4

).

The locus of a point equidistant from two fixed points

A(-1, 3)

and

B(5, -1)

is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining them. Equating the squared distances

(x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = (x-5)^2 + (y+1)^2

and simplifying yields the linear equation

3x - 2y - 4 = 0

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the distance equality condition using the distance formula.

\\sqrt{(x - (-1))^2 + (y - 3)^2} = \\sqrt{(x - 5)^2 + (y - (-1))^2}

Since point

P(x, y)

is equidistant from

A

and

B

,

PA = PB

.

2

Square both sides to remove the radical signs.

(x + 1)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2

Squaring both sides eliminates square roots and simplifies polynomial expansion.

3

Expand all squared terms on both sides.

x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + y^2 + 2y + 1

Expanding allows gathering like terms.

4

Cancel

x^2

and

y^2

from both sides and collect all terms on one side.

(2x + 10x) + (-6y - 2y) + (10 - 26) = 0 \\Rightarrow 12x - 8y - 16 = 0

Combining like terms simplifies the locus equation into standard linear form.

5

Divide the entire equation by the common factor of 4.

3x - 2y - 4 = 0

Expressing the linear equation in its simplest form gives the perpendicular bisector of line segment

Cevap: 540

Cevap

The period of the trigonometric function is

540^\circ

.

For a general sine curve of the form

y = a\sin(bx + c) + d

, the period

T

in degrees is calculated as

T = \frac{360^\circ}{|b|}

. Given

y = 5\sin\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 2

, the value of

b

is

\frac{2}{3}

. Dividing

360^\circ

by

\frac{2}{3}

gives

540^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coefficient

b

of

x

from the standard sine form

y = a\sin(bx + c) + d

.

b = \frac{2}{3}

The coefficient of

x

determines the angular frequency and affects the horizontal compression or stretch of the graph.

2

State the period formula in degrees for a sine function.

T = \frac{360^\circ}{|b|}

The standard sine function completes one full wavelength over

360^\circ

, so scaling the input by

b

changes the period to

\frac{360^\circ}{b}

.

3

Substitute

b = \frac{2}{3}

into the formula and evaluate.

T = \frac{360^\circ}{\frac{2}{3}} = 360^\circ \times \frac{3}{2} = 540^\circ

Dividing by a fraction is performed by multiplying by its reciprocal.

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The polygon has 12 sides.

The interior angle and exterior angle of a regular polygon are supplementary, adding up to

180^\circ

. For a ratio of

5:1

, the exterior angle is

\frac{1}{5+1} \times 180^\circ = 30^\circ

. Using the exterior angle formula

n = \frac{360^\circ}{\text{exterior angle}}

, the number of sides is

\frac{360^\circ}{30^\circ} = 12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up an equation using the linear pair relationship between interior and exterior angles.

5x + 1x = 180^\circ \implies 6x = 180^\circ \implies x = 30^\circ

At any vertex of a regular polygon, the interior angle and exterior angle lie on a straight line and are supplementary (

180^\circ

).

2

Identify the measure of the exterior angle.

Exterior angle =

30^\circ

The exterior angle corresponds to

1

part of the

5:1

ratio, which equals

x = 30^\circ

.

3

Calculate the number of sides

n

of the polygon.

n = \frac{360^\circ}{30^\circ} = 12

The sum of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is

360^\circ

, so

n = \frac{360^\circ}{\text{exterior angle}}

.
