Jessica has two strings. the first string measures 80 cm and the second string measures 64cm. she wants to cut the strings into

equal lengths. of the least number of strings equal length is 16 what is the length of each string

<span>The highest common denominator between 80 and 64 is 16. This means no string can be cut longer than 16 inches for them all to have the same length.</span>

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

nydimaria [60]

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

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

18.<br> Place parentheses in the following equation to<br> make it true.<br> 4 + 53-8 = 19

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

(4+5)3-8 = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

1) You know that the parenthesis are going to go around 3-8 or 4+5 because that is the only way multiplication is involved. If you put them anywhere else it doesn't change the answer.

2) Try solving the problems (use PEMDAS)

(4+5)3-8 = 9*3-8 = 27-8 = 19

4+5(3-8) = 4+5(-5) = 4-25 = -21
