Will give brainliest to correct answer! Given that cos Ф=-8/17 and sin Ф is negative, determine the value of tan Ф.
1 answer:
Answer: option 3 is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us look at the various trigonometric ratios
Sin Ф = opposite side/ hypotenuse
Cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse
Tan Ф = opposite side / adjacent side
Therefore, tan Ф = sin Ф / cos Ф
This means that if cos Ф=-8/17 and sin Ф is negative, then the hypotenuse is negative
To determine the adjacent side, we will apply Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2
-17^2 = 8^2 + adjacent^2
adjacent^2 = 289 - 64 = 225
adjacent = √225 = 15
tan Ф = 8/15

<h3>What is a number line?</h3>
A number line is a representation of a graduated straight line used to represent real numbers in introductory mathematics.
Because the arrow is pointing to the left, the answer to the solution set needs to be less than the number the dot is on.
A solid dot on a number means that that number is included in the solution set.
In the picture the solid dot is on 4.5, so the solution set needs to be equal to or less than 4.5.
Therefore the correct answer is option B which is {x | x ≤ 4.5}
