In the question it is given Sin theta= \frac{8}{17}

Sine theta is given to lie in second quadrant and the question is asking to find cot theta.

In second quadrant sine is positive while cot is negative.

Sine is the ratio of opposite and hypotenuse.

Sin theta =\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Cot theta=\frac{Adjacent }{opposite}

For the given question opposite is 8 and hypotenuse is 17.

We can find adjacent side by using Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}

c is hypotenuse and a and b are the two legs

Substituting the value of c and b we have:

17^{2} =8^{2} +b^{2}

289=64+b^{2}

289-64=b^{2}

[ subtracting 64 both sides]

225=b^{2}

Taking root both sides

b=15

Cot theta=- \frac{15}{8}

Sin theta= 8/17
cos theta= -15/17
tan theta= -8/15
cot theta= -15/8

Peter works at a bookstore. He packed 3 identical paperbacks and 2 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books was
Alexus [3.1K]

If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:

     (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4

     (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

1/2x-2/5=3/5       (BTW I got 2/5 by reducing 4/10)
1/2x=7/5             (BTW I got 7/5 by moving 2/5 to the other side)
Then do 7/5 times 2 and you get 14/5

14/5

Explain why (–4x)0 = 1, but –4x0 = –4.
hodyreva [135]
Any number raised to power of 0 is 1.
In (-4x)^0, because of the parenthesis, the whole number is being raided to 0, which gives 1.
But in -4x^0, only x is being raised to 0, thus -4x^0 = -4(1) = -4.
