Use the unit circle to find sec (-90)

Mathematics

Using the unit circle, you can visualise the secant as follows:

  1. Draw the vertical line passing trough (1,0)
  2. Extend the radius until it meets this line at point P
  3. The length of OP is the secant of your angle.

Since -90 means that the radius points downwards, it means that the radius is vertical as well, and thus it never meets the vertical line through (1,0).

Thus, the secant is not defined at -90.

In fact, if we switch back to the function notation, we can confirm this claim, since we have

\sec(x)=\dfrac{1}{\cos(x)}\implies \sec(-90)=\dfrac{1}{\cos(-90)}=\dfrac{1}{0}

which is undefined.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

89.84375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that on a finance exam, 15 accounting majors had an average grade of 90. On the same exam, 7 marketing majors averaged 85, and 10 finance majors averaged 93.

To find weighted mean.

Here weights can be considered as number of majors in each subject

Marks x     90        85       93\\Weights     15          7         10\\Product     1350    595     930\\

Weighted total = 1350+595+930 = 2875

Weighted mean = weighted total/total students

=\frac{2875}{32} =89.84375

WARRIOR [948]

Hello there! Your answer should be 4 mph. Reasoning:

2 = (20 - x) * t 

3 = (20 + x ) * t 

Time is the same for both equations. Solve for T.

2/(20-x) = 3/(20+x)

the answer is 4 mph.

Please tell me if I was right!
