To determine

The angle 159.3596o as degrees, minutes and seconds.

Answer to Problem 1A

The angle 159.3596o as degrees, minutes and seconds can be written as 159°21'34"

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

In the angle 159.3596o, the whole number 159 is the angle in degrees. The remaining decimal 0.3596 when multiplied with 60, will give the angle expressed in minutes.

That means,

  0.3596×60=21.576, the whole number 21 is the angle in minutes.

Now, to find the seconds part of the angle, let us multiply the decimal part of the minutes with 60.

  0.576×60=34.56, the whole number 34 equals seconds.

Thus, the decimal angle 159.3596o can be expressed as 159 degrees, 21 minutes, and 34 seconds.

This can also be written as

  159.3596°=159°21'34"

Conclusion:

Thus, the angle 159.3596o as degrees, minutes and seconds can be written as 159°21'34"

Solve the linear system of equations attached using Gaussian elimination (not Gauss-Jordan) and back subsitution. Remember that: A matrix is in row echelon form if Any row that consists only of zeros is at the bottom of the matrix. The first non-zero entry in each other row is 1. This entry is called aleading 1. The leading 1 of each row, after the first row, lies to the right of the leading 1 of the previous row.
7. Show that for R sufficiently large, the polynomial P(z) in Example 3, Sec. 5, satisfies the inequality |P(z)| R. Suggestion: Observe that there is a positive number R such that the modulus of each quotient in inequality (9), Sec. 5, is less than |an|/n when |z| > R.
9. Establish the identity 1- 1+z+z² + 2n+1 ... +z" = 1- z (z1) and then use it to derive Lagrange's trigonometric identity: 1 1+ cos cos 20 +... + cos no = + 2 sin[(2n+1)0/2] 2 sin(0/2) (0 < 0 < 2л). Suggestion: As for the first identity, write S = 1+z+z² +...+z" and consider the difference S - zS. To derive the second identity, write z = eie in the first one.
