Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see attached picture for full solution.

Y has to be negative since it lies below the x axis.

In 4th quadrant, only the cosine of an angle is positive.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

(Sorry about the crude drawing)

The drawing shows what the triangle with a terminal side in Quadrant IV looks like.

Secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side of the angle. In the given ratio, we can set 5 as the hypotenuse and 2 as the adjacent side (you can see them labeled in the picture).

Now, we want to find sin, which is (opposite)/(hypotenuse). However, we don't know the opposite. We can find it by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

\sqrt{5^2-2^2} =\sqrt{25-4} =\sqrt{21}

So, the opposite side is \sqrt{21}. But, we see that since it's in the fourth quadrant, it must be negative, so we have opposite = -\sqrt{21}. Now, we can find the ratio because hypotenuse = 5:

sin(θ) = -\sqrt{21} /5.

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!

Determine if the statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Two angles that are vertical are __________ adjacent.
Morgarella [4.7K]

The diagram shows , , and . Which statement can be proven true from the diagram?
tresset_1 [31]
What can be proven true in the diagram is the statement in letter C. angle CGB is complementary to angle AGD. It is because they both had the same vertex which is point G. Complementary angles are angles which are equal to 90 degrees wherein when you add both angles which are obviously 45 degrees, the sum is 90 degrees.
