Hmm

let's try some numbers

we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y

x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y

x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope

x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope


x-y is positive when 0>x>y

Given sec theta=-4/3 and 90°
hoa [83]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given secθ = - \frac{4}{3}

then cosθ = -\frac{3}{4}

Now we know the identity

sinθ = \sqrt{1-cos^{2}\theta }

       = \sqrt{1-(-\frac{3}{4} )^{2}}

       = \frac{\sqrt{7} }{4}

Now sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ

Now we put the values of cosine and sine in the formula

sin2θ = 2×(-\frac{3}{4})(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})

         = -\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{8}

Therefore, option A. is the answer.

Can someone please help with these three please explain
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

6. (a) 7. (b) Im pretty sure 8. (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

A real number is basically any number whatsoever, meaning a real number can also be irratonal.

7. pi is 3.1415926535... but doesn't repeat so it doesn't go on a number line, the sq root of -16 is -4 which has a place on the line, and the repeating decimal would have no place on a number line.

8. irrational means it repeats without a pattern, such as pi (3.1415926535...) which is why the answer is d
