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}

Show that 5(3y-2)=15y-10 for at least 5 values of y
Vsevolod [243]
<span>Solving the equation for Y = 1. 5 * (3 * 1 - 2) = 15 * 1 - 10 5 * (3 - 2) = 15 -10 5 * 1 = 5 5 = 5 Solving the equation for Y = 2. 5 * (3 * 2 - 2) = 15 * 2 - 10 5 * (6 - 2) = 30 -10 5 * 4 = 20 20 = 20 Solving the equation for Y = 4. 5 * (3 * 4 - 2) = 15 * 4 - 10 5 * (12 - 2) = 60 -10 5 * 10 = 50 50 = 50 Solving the equation for Y = 8. 5 * (3 * 8 - 2) = 15 * 8 - 10 5 * (24 - 2) = 120 -10 5 * 22 = 110 110 = 110 Solving the equation for Y = 9. 5 * (3 * 9 - 2) = 15 * 9 - 10 5 * (27 - 2) = 135 -10 5 * 25 = 125 125 = 125 This proves that the equation holds good for at least 5 values of 'y', which are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9. However, it can be proved that the equation holds good for any value of y. Expression 5(3y-2) can be simplified to 15y -10 which is the same expression on the right had side of the equation provided. So, equation 5(3y-2)=15y-10 is actually 15y-10=15y-10 and since this is true for all values of y, it has been proved that it is true for at least 5 values of y.</span>

Solve for x 9(x-1) = 2
Katen [24]

Answer: x = 9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 9 to x and -1

9x - 9 = 2

Then add 9 to both sides

9x = 11

Then divide both sides by 9

x = 9/11

Hope it helps :)
