Use the following triangle to find Sec theta.

Mathematics
1 answer:
makkiz [27]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(theta) is defined as: sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)} = \frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

In the diagram you provided the hypotenuse of the triangle is sqrt(41) and the opposite side is 5, using these two sides, we can solve for the adjacent side by using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

So this gives us the equation where a=adjacent side:

a^2+5^2=\sqrt{41}^2

a^2+25=41

Subtract 25 from both sides

a^2=16

Take the square root of both sides

a=4

So now plug this into the definition of sec(theta) and you get: \frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}. This is in most simplified form since 41, has no factors besides 41 and 1.

What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation y=-10x+1
RUDIKE [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The slope is -10 and the y-intercept is 1.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

This function is written in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b.  In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, m=-10 and b=1, so those are the answers to this problem.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

<em>(c) Rs. 1500</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

It's given Kamal spent 40% of his income. With the remaining 60%, he deposited Rs. 400 in a bank and still has Rs. 500 left.

This means Rs. 400 + Rs. 500= Rs. 900 is 60% if his income.

The 100% of his income is calculated as a percent proportion:

If 60% is Rs. 900, then 100% is:

\displaystyle \frac{900}{60}*100=1500

Thus, Kamal's income is Rs. 1500. Correct choice: (c) Rs. 1500
