You can first use the fundamental trigonometric identity:

sin(x) ^2 + cos(x) ^2 = 1

=> cos(x) ^2 = 1 - sin(x) ^2

=> cos(x) ^2 = 1 - (-4/5)^2 = 1 - 16/25 = (25 - 16) / 25 = 9 /25

=> cos (x) = +/ - √ (9/25) = +/- 3/5

Now, analyze the sign.

In the fhird quadrant the cosine is negative, so the answer is cos(x) = - 3/5.

Answer: option C. - 3/5

Answer:

${b}^{2} - {2b} - 35$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find two factors of c that sum up to -2.

2) 5 and -7 are factors of -35 that sum up to -2.

3) (x+5)(x-7)

4) x+5= 0, x= -5

5) x-7= 0, x= 7

4) the two solutions are -5 and 7.

The variable r is directly proportional to the square of t, and r = 144 when t = 72.

Paul [167]

Answer:

k=0.023

Step-by-step explanation:

$r \alpha {t }^{2} \\ r = k {t}^{2} \\ 144 = k \times {72 }^{2} \\ k = \frac{144}{ {72 }^{2} } \\ k = 0.023 \\ the \: eqn \: is \: therefore \\ r = 0.023 \times {t}^{2}$
