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}

In the drawer you have 8 black socks and 5 yellow socks, if you pick 2 socks what is the probability that pick out a black sock
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

10/39

Step-by-step explanation:

The chances of picking a black sock on first try are 8/13, and the chances of picking out a yellow sock without replacing the black sock are 5/12. If you multiply 8/13 and 5/12, you get 40/156, and if you simplify, you will get 10/39 as your answer.

Please I need answer fast will give brainliest
Sonbull [250]
Point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
Keep y and x as they are (do not plug anything in for those).
Variable m is the slope.
x1 and y1 are part of the point, which is in (x, y) form.
With the information given, plug each into the equation.
m= 2 (It's the slope)
x1=-8
y1=5
Put these variables into the equation like this-
y-5=2(x--8)
The two negatives cancel out (between x and 8) so your final answer is-
y-5=2(x+8)

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

add 7 to both sides

1+8n = -15

subtract 1 from both sides

8n = -16

divide both sides by 8

n = -2

Set B is defined as B={x|x is an integer}. Name two elements of B.
jenyasd209 [6]
By definition we have an integer number given by:
 An integer is an element of the numeric set that contains the natural numbers {N} = {1,2,3,4, ...}, its opposite and zero.
 On the number line we find the negative numbers to the left of the zero and to its right the positive numbers.
 We have then, according to the definition, that the following are whole numbers:
 -527, 1
 Answer:
 
B = {x | x is an integer}
 
-527 ∈ B
 
1 ∈ B
 
option D
