well, we know that θ is in the III Quadrant, where the sine is negative and the cosine is negative as well, or if you wish, where "x" as well as "y" are both negative, now, the hypotenuse or radius of the circle is just a distance amount, so is never negative, so in the equation of cos(θ) = - (2/5), the negative must be the adjacent side, thus

cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-2}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{5}}\qquad \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{5^2 - (-2)^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{25-4}\implies \pm\sqrt{21}=b\implies \stackrel{III~Quadrant}{-\sqrt{21}=b}

\dotfill\\\\ csc(\theta)\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}{\underset{opposite}{-\sqrt{21}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{-\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{21}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}}\implies -\cfrac{5\sqrt{21}}{21}} \\\\\\ tan(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-\sqrt{21}}}{\underset{adjacent}{-2}}\implies tan(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{2}

What are m∠1 and m∠2?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

B. <1 = 35, m<2 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out m<1 I first need to figure out the other missing angle. A straight line is a 180 degree angle. Taking that information you can do 180 - 115. This means that the missing angle is 65 degrees. The interior angles of triangles always add up to 180.

80 + 65 = 145

180 - 145 = 35

<1 = 35

Repeat with the other side.

85 + 65 = 150

180 - 150 = 30

<2 = 30

Hope this helps!

vekshin1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplified expression:

3x^3 -x^3 +5x^3-9x^3

2x^3 +5x^3-9x^3

7x^3 -9x^3

-2x^3

If x = -1, the value of the expression is:

-2x^3

-2(-1^3)

-2(-1)

a sand timer has 5 5/16 ounces of sand. of sand falls at a rate of 2.5 ounces per minute, how many minutes will the timer last?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

about 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets make everything in the same term

so 2.5 =2 1/2

then divide 5 5/16 by 2 1/2

or 85/16 divided by 5/2

you get 2 1/8

so you have about 2 minutes before the timer runs out
