$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{drain}{minutes}&\stackrel{bathtub}{gallons}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
7\frac{1}{2}&70\\
1&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{7\frac{1}{2}}{1}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies \cfrac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{1}{1}}=\cfrac{70}{x}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies \cfrac{15}{2}=\cfrac{70}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{2\cdot 70}{15}$

Cos(−θ)=√3/3, sinθ<0

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$\sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric equation is $\cos(-\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ .

We can either use the Pythagorean identity or the right angle triangle to solve for $\sin\theta$ .

According to the Pythagorean identity,

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

Recall that, the cosine function is an even function, therefore

$\cos(-\theta)=\cos(\theta)$

$\Rightarrow \cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ .

We substitute this value in to the above Pythagorean identity to get;

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

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{9}+\sin^2\theta=1$

$\Rightarrow \sin^2\theta=1-\frac{3}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \sin^2\theta=\frac{6}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\pm \sqrt{\frac{6}{9}}$

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

But we were given that,

$\sin\theta\:$ , so we choose the negative value.

$\Rightarrow \sin\theta=-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}$

The correct answer is B

Use the figure to identify each pair of angles as complementary angles, supplementary angles, vertical angles, or none of these.

maxonik [38]

(a) Complementary angles

(b) Vertical angles

(c) Supplementary angles

<u>Explanation:</u>

Complementary angles are those two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.

Supplementary angles are those two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.

(a)

Angles 1 and 5 are complementary angles

(b)

Angles 3 and 5 are vertical angles

(c)

Angles 3 and 4 are supplementary angles
