The earliest known use of the phrase in a reaction image can be found in an animated GIF uploaded by DeviantArtist[4] hprince329 on June 11th, 2003. Titled “Hahaha – NO," the image shows a small laughing emoticon that abruptly turns into a serious face (shown below).
1.) .6 x 60 = 36.
2.) 30/60 = .5
3.) 1.5 x 360 = 54017.) B = tan^-1 (12/5) -> tan B = 12/5 -> Draw a triangle using tan 12/5 giving you a hypotenuse of 13. Cos B = 5/13.
18.) 144 + b^2 = 324 b= 180^1/2 = 6(5^1/2). 18/sin 90 = 12/sin B. B = arcsin(12sin90)/18 = 41.8 degrees
19.) C = 75 degrees. sin 47/a = sin 58/23. A = 23(sin 47)/sin 58 = 19.8
20.) Draw a triangle and cut it in half. New B = 90 degrees. c/sin 37.2 = 22.3/sin 90. C = sin 37.2(22.3/sin90) = 13.48. ½(17.9)(13.48) = 120.646
21.) Impossible
22.) 19.8
23.) a^2 = 10^2 +5^2-2(10)(5)cos(67). a = 9.27
24.) 12^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 -2(8)(6)cos C -> arccos ((12^2-8^2-6^2)/-2(8)(6)) = 117.28.
25.) 18^2 = 22^2 + 30^2 – 2(22)(30)cos A -> A = arccos ((18^2-22^2-30^2)/(-2(22)(30)) = 36.58. K = ½(22)(30)sin36.58 = 196.66 units^2.
Bonus: Draw a coordinate plane. Draw the terminal side and superimpose the y = x with cross lines. Theta = 45 degrees. The tan of 45 in a 45-45-90 triangle is 1/1 = 1.000. [continues]
4.) -225 + 360 = 135
5.) 55
6.) a^2 + 16 = 81 a = 65^(1/2) = 65^(1/2)/9
7.) 65^(1/2)/4 -> 4/65^(1/2) -> 4(65^(1/2))/65
8.) 4/9 -> 9/4
9.) -3/1 -> -1/3
10.) Looking at the unit circle, we see that the point for 180 degrees is all the way on the left, at (-1, 0). That gives us a cosine of -1 and a sine of 0. 0 divided by -1 = 0 so the tangent of 180 degrees is 0.
11.) I would say 330 is actually = -30 right? You can draw it. Then we know cos 30 is sqrt(3)/2 Also, -30 and 30 has the same cos because cos represents the horizontal length of the x-axis (between -1 to 1) So, cos 330 = sqrt(3)/2
12.) 4(17^1/2)/17
13.) -13/5
14.) 200/sin90 = x/sin 68 -> x = sin 68(200/sin90) = 185 ft
15.) 185^2 + b^2 = 200^2 -> 34225 + b^2 = 40,000 -> b^2 = 5775 -> b = 76 ft
16.) X = arcsin –(3^1/2)/2 = -60 -> 300 degrees, 240 degrees.
The post has just arrived and in it a very nice surprise, the discovery that Jacques Seguela, one-time adviser to President Mitterrand, now close confidant of President and Madame Sarkozy (indeed he intoduced them), and something of a legend in French political communications, has dedicated his latest book to little old moi.
With apologies for the missing accents here and in the French bits of the long posting which follows – the dedication to ‘Le Pouvoir dans la Peau‘ (Power in the skin) reads ‘A Alastair Campbell, mon spin doctor prefere’ (three missing accents in one word – mes excuses sinceres).
So what did I do for this honour, you are asking? Well, perhaps the fact that he asked me to read his book, and write a ‘postface’ assessment both of his writing and of the issues he covers, and the fact that I said yes, has something to do with it. He says some blushmakingly kind things in his ‘preface to the postface’, which I will have to leave to French readers of the whole thing (published by Plon). But for the largely Anglophone visitors of this blog, I thought some of you might like to read the said ‘postface’ in English (apart from the bits where I quote direct from his book). I hope all those students who write asking for help with dissertations will find something quotable in it.
Meanwhile I am off to Norway for a conference and a meeting with the Norwegian Labour Party. I’m looking forward to being in the country with the highest ‘human development index’ in the world, and which showed such a mature response to the recent massacre of Oslo and Utoya.
Here is the postface to Le Pouvoir dans la Peau
Jacques Seguela writes about political campaigns and communications not merely as an expert analyst, but as an experienced practitioner. Hence his latest book contains both insights worth heeding, but also enlivening tales of his own experience. He is observer
