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

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of 2 and n is 2/n, not n/2, and if it's at most 6 that means it can equal 6 but can't go above it, so it's less than or equal to six. Hope this helped!

Determine whether 2x+2y= -6 is a function?
Archy [21]

Answer:

It's a function because when you simplify it becomes y=-x-3. the only reason it wouldn't be a function would be if the equation were to be x = a random number that is not a variable. The equation would not pass the vertical line test which is the requirement to see if an equation is a function.

Simply put, it's a function.
