Use the unit circle to find sec (-90)

Mathematics
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Describe how a point on a graph is related to a table and an equation that represent the same relationship.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

because everything is relative to each other.

Step-by-step explanation: Graphing ordered pairs is only the beginning of the story. Once you know how to place points on a grid, you can use them to make sense of all kinds of mathematical relationships. A linear relationship is a relationship between variables such that when plotted on a coordinate plane, the points lie on a line. Let’s start by looking at a series of points in Quadrant I on the coordinate plane. Look at the five ordered pairs (and their x– and y-coordinates) below.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To overestimate the area would mean that you completely enclose the circle in squares; an 8 x 8 square to b exact. The area of a square with sides measuring 8 is 64. The overestimation is 64.

To underestimate the area would mean that you only count the squares that are completely inside the circle. That would be a 6 x 6 square (even though the 6th squares are a tiny bit outside the circle). A square with sides of 6 has an area of 36. The underestimation is 36.

Francesca ran five times as many miles as sophia last year. They ran a total of 3,455 miles. How many miles did each girl run la
uysha [10]

Answer:

  • Francesca: 2879 1/6 miles
  • Sophia: 575 5/6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

For each mile that Sophia ran, Francesca ran 5 miles. Then Sophia ran 1/6 of their total. Sophia ran ...

  (1/6)(3455) = 575 5/6 miles

Francesca ran the remaining miles:

  3455 -575 5/6 = 2879 1/6 miles
