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!

A doctor studies the known cancer patients in a certain town. The probability that a randomly chosen resident has cancer is foun
Alex777 [14]
Let the event 'has cancer' be C, and the event 'works for Ajax' be A.
P(C) = 0.0019. P(A) = 0.28
The events A and C are independent if P(C|A) = P(C).
P(C|A) = 0.0019 = P(C).
Therefore the answer is YES.
