Answer:

C. csc(\theta)=-\frac{5}{4}

D. cos(\theta)= \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take a look to the picture I attached you. I drew a diagram according to the data provided from the problem. From this diagram:

I=First\hspace{3} quadrant\\II=Second\hspace{3} quadrant\\III=Third\hspace{3} quadrant\\IV=Fourth\hspace{3} quadrant

a=Opposite\\b=Adjacent\\c=Hypotenuse

Now, the functions on a right triangle like this are given by:

sin(\theta)=\frac{a}{c}\hspace{15}csc(\theta)=\frac{c}{a} \\cos(\theta)=\frac{b}{c}\hspace{15}sec(\theta)=\frac{c}{b} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{a}{b}\hspace{15}cot(\theta)=\frac{b}{a}

If:

sec(\theta)=\frac{5}{3}

Then:

c=5\\b=3

Using pythagorean theorem we can find a:

c^2=a^2+b^2

Solving for a:

a^2=5^2-3^2=16\\a=\sqrt{16} =\pm4

Since the triangle is in the fourth quadrant, the value of the opposite angle is negative, hence:

a=-4

Now, let's check every option, so we can determinate which of them are true or false.

A. tan(\theta)=\frac{4}{3}

tan(\theta)=\frac{a}{b} =\frac{-4}{3} \neq \frac{4}{3}

This is incorrect.

B. sin(\theta)=-\frac{2}{5}

sin(\theta)=\frac{a}{c} =\frac{-4}{5} \neq - \frac{2}{5}

This is incorrect.

C. csc(\theta)=-\frac{5}{4}

csc(\theta)=\frac{c}{a} =\frac{5}{-4} =- \frac{5}{4}

This is correct

D. cos(\theta)= \frac{3}{5}

cos(\theta)=\frac{b}{c} =\frac{3}{5}

This is correct.

\bf sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{5}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}=\cfrac{5}{3}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}=cos(\theta)
\\\\\\
\textit{now, }\theta\textit{ is in the 4th quadrant}

so... notice the picture below, the angle in the fourth quadrant
now... notice, the cosine is just the distance the angle makes with the x-axis
so... using the pythagorean theorem, get the opposite side, from that triangle, keeping in mind that, "y" is negative in the 4th quadrant

once you get "y", get any other trigonometry value you need :)

Lunna [17]

Answer:

30 that singular tickets for each friend and if your asking for total it would be 120. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

They paid 100 but they had a 20$ off coupon, this means the orignial total would be $120 so 120 divided by 4 (there's four people) = $30 each :)

hope this helped
