Answer:

0.25 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

P(coin is flipped as head) = 0.5 or 1/2 (one of 2 sides)

P(coin is flipped as head twice) = P(coin is flipped as head) x P(coin is flipped as head)

= 0.5 x 0.5

= 0.25 or 1/4

If cos() = − 2 3 and is in Quadrant III, find tan() cot() + csc(). Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

Answer:

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}$

$\theta \to$ Quadrant III

Required

Determine $\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)$

We have:

$\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}$

We know that:

$\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1$

This gives:

$\sin^2(\theta) + (-\frac{2}{3})^2 = 1$

$\sin^2(\theta) + (\frac{4}{9}) = 1$

Collect like terms

$\sin^2(\theta) = 1 - \frac{4}{9}$

Take LCM and solve

$\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{9 -4}{9}$

$\sin^2(\theta) = \frac{5}{9}$

Take the square roots of both sides

$\sin(\theta) = \±\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

Sin is negative in quadrant III. So:

$\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

Calculate $\csc(\theta)$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$

We have: $\sin(\theta) = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}$

So:

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}}$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}$

Rationalize

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}*\frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5}$

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}$

So, we have:

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \tan(\theta) \cdot \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} + \csc(\theta)$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 + \csc(\theta)$

Substitute: $\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}$

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 -\frac{3\sqrt 5}{5}$

Take LCM

$\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}$
