This is quite a doozy so pay attention.  This follows the difference of the trig function cosine where the pattern is cos \alpha cos \beta -sin \alpha sin \beta.  We are going to let \alpha =sin ^{-1} ( \frac{2}{3}) and \beta =2sin ^{-1}(- \frac{1}{3}).  So, following that pattern we can rewrite as cos(sin ^{-1}( \frac{2}{3}))cos(2sin ^{-1}(- \frac{1}{3}))-sin(sin ^{-1}( \frac{2}{3}))sin(2sin ^{-1} (- \frac{1}{3})).  For inverse sin of 2/3...inverse sin exists in QI and Q!V, but since our y is positive in QI only, that's where our angle is.  Sin in opposite over hypotenuse, so we need to find the missing side, the side adjacent to the angle.  Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we find that the missing side is \sqrt{5}.  Therefore, the cos of the angle is \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{3}.  For cos(2sin ^{-1}(- \frac{1}{3})), use the fact that cos(2 \beta )=cos^2 \beta -sin^2 \beta where sin \beta =- \frac{1}{3}.  Since we are squaring oth sin and cos, it doesn't matter is we are in QIII or QIV so let's just put it in QIV.  Side opposite is -1 and hypotenuse is 3, so missing side by Pythagorean's Theroem is \sqrt{8}=2 \sqrt{2}.  Therefore, cos(2 \beta )=( \frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{3})^2-(- \frac{1}{3})^2 which is \frac{8}{9}- \frac{1}{9}= \frac{7}{9}.  Now, since sin and inverse sin undo each other, sin of the inverse sin of 2/3 is 2/3.  One more to go...For sin(2sin ^{-1}(- \frac{1}{3})), use sin(2 \beta )=2sin \beta cos \beta where sin \beta =- \frac{1}{3}.  Go back to QIV where we had the anlge for cos(2beta) and see that the cosine here is\frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{3} and sin here is -1/3.  Therefore, sin(2 \beta )=2( \frac{2 \sqrt{2} }{3})(- \frac{1}{3})=- \frac{4 \sqrt{2} }{9}.  Now we are ready to fill in our original difference of cosines formula using all the values we found above: ( \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{3})( \frac{7}{9})-( \frac{2}{3})(- \frac{4 \sqrt{2} }{9}), which when you do all the simplfying, gives you \frac{7 \sqrt{5}+8 \sqrt{2}  }{27}, the last choice listed above. Phew  told you it was a doozy!

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.

At a sand and gravel plant, sand is falling off a conveyor and onto a conical pile at a rate of 16 cubic feet per minute. the diameter of the base of the cone is approximately three times the altitude. at what rate is the height of the pile changing when the pile is 12 feet high? (hint: the formula for the volume of a cone is v = 1 3 πr2h.)
