Remember, x^-1=1/x

so

f(-1)=4(7)^-1=4(1/7)=4/7
f(2)=4(7)^2=4(49)=196

Find the exact values of a) sec of theta b)tan of theta if cos of theta= -4/5 and sin<0

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Using trigonometric ratio:

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

From the given statement:

$\cos \theta = -\frac{4}{5}$ and sin < 0

⇒ $\theta$ lies in the 3rd quadrant.

then;

$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{-\frac{4}{5}} = -\frac{5}{4}$

Using trigonometry identities:

$\sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-\cos^2 \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\sin \theta = \pm\sqrt{1-(\frac{-4}{5})^2 } =\pm\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\pm\sqrt{\frac{25-16}{25}} =\pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} } = \pm\frac{3}{5}$

Since, sin < 0

⇒ $\sin \theta = -\frac{3}{5}$

now, find $\tan \theta$ :

$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\tan \theta = \frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{-\frac{4}{5} } = \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, the exact value of:

(a)

$\sec \theta =-\frac{5}{4}$

(b)

$\tan \theta= \frac{3}{4}$

How does the pythagorean theorem work on a right triangle .

Answer:

just read my step-by-step

Step-by-step explanation:

Image result for how does the pythagorean theorem work on a right triangle

The Pythagorean Theorem can also be represented in terms of area. In any right triangle, the area of the square drawn from the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares that are drawn from the two legs. You can see this illustrated below in the same 3-4-5 right triangle.
