Correct answer is B

cos(x+y)=cosxcosysinxsiny

cos(π2+π3)=cosπ2cosπ3sinπ2sinπ3

= (0×12)(1×32)

= 032=32

14

C.

14

D.

12

Correct answer is C

log93=log9(912)=12log99=12

12+2x=12x=12

x=14

Express 75° in radians, leaving your answer in terms of π.

A.

5π12

B.

3π4

C.

5π6

D.

7π6

Correct answer is A

180° = \pi rads

1° = \frac{\pi}{180}

\therefore 75° = \frac{\pi}{180} \times 75

= \frac{5\pi}{12}
