Ok, you are given a point and you need to find the exact values for cos \theta csc \theta & tan \theta

First thing first. We need to see if we are working with a unit circle and find the radius.

How to tell if we are working with a unit circle?
We know x^2 + y^2 = r^2 is a circle.

We know that to find the radius we can use the following formula:
r^2 = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

If r^2 = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = 1 we are working with a unit circle.

Lets see if it = 1.
r^2 = \sqrt{4^2 + -7^2}
r^2 = \sqrt{16 + 49}
r^2 = \sqrt{65}

Square both sides now
\sqrt{r^2} = \sqrt{\sqrt{65}}
r = \pm 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}

Since we squared, we have a + and a - but we disregard the - because we do not have - radii 
r = 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}
We can also say
r = \sqrt[4]{65}

Ok, since r does not equal 1, we are not working with a unit circle but we have found r, which is our radius.

Now that we know the value of r, which is r = 65^{\frac{1}{4}}}, we need to look at the identities of cos, csc and tan.


The identities:
cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}
csc \theta = \frac{1}{y}
tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}

Now that we know their identities and know the radius of our circle, we can find the exact values of cos, csc and tan.

cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = \frac{4}{65^{\frac{1}{4}}} 
csc \theta = \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{-7}
tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-7}{4}

The exact values for cos, csc and tan given the point (4,-7) are:
cos \theta = \frac{4}{65^{\frac{1}{4}}} 
csc \theta = \frac{1}{-7}
tan \theta = \frac{-7}{4}

Square T was translated by the rule (x + 2, y + 2) and then dilated from the origin by a scale factor of 3 to create square T″.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to know the following:

<u> Dilation:</u>

  • Transformation in which the image has the same shape as the pre-image, but the size changes.
  • Dilation preserves betweenness of points.
  •  Angle measures do not change.

<u>Translation:</u>

  • Transformation in which the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.
  • Translation preserves betweenness of points.
  • Angle measures do not change.

Therefore, since the Square T was translated and then dilated to create Square T'', we can conclude that the statement that explains why  they are similar is:

<em>Translations and dilations preserve betweenness of points; therefore, the corresponding sides of squares T and T″ are proportional.</em>
