If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}$

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) }$ which simplifies a bit to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} }$ and a bit more to

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{\frac{1}{5} }$

Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=-\frac{3}{5}*\frac{5}{1}$ which of course simplifies to

-3. Choice A.

what is the probability of rolling 6 five times in a row? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

qaws [65]

Answer:

1/7776.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a six in 1 throw = 1/6.

Rolling a 6 5 times in a row = (1/6)^5

= 1/7776.

The probability is multiplied because each roll is independent from other rolls.

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| > 14.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.

|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14. These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.

So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.

But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.

2x+4>14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x >10

Divide both sides by 2:

x >5

2x+4<-14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x <-18

Divide both sides by 2:

x <-9

So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

Graphing!

~~~~~~~O O~~~~~~~~

-----------(-9)---------------------------------(5)---------------

So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.

We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.
