Mathematics

wariber [46]3 years ago
8 0
We know that
<span>sec a = 5/4
</span>sec(a)=1/cos(a)
then 
cos (a)=1/sec(a)
cos (a)=1/(5/4)=4/5---> is positive because the function cos is positive in IV quadrant

the answer is cos(a)=4/5

Find the solution to the system of equations,
olya-2409 [2.1K]
A is the answer :)
Since we are given z = 8, finding y is simple.
By replacing the z in y + z = 11, we can see that y = 3
After finding these two, x can be found

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 36x + 9, 9(4x – 1), or (4 • 9x) + (4 • 2).
lora16 [44]
In order to find out what 36x + 9 is equivalent to,, we must factor out 9 from the expression. Once we do this you will find that this expression is equivalent to 9(4x + 1),, or option E.
Next we will look at the expression 9(4x -1). In order for us to find out the equivalent to this expression,, we must first multiply each term in the parenthesis by 9. 
9 × 4x - 9
Now calculate the product
36x - 9
This means that the equivalent for this expression is 36x - 9,, or option A.
Lastly,, we will look at the final expression given which is 4(9x + 2). The first step for finding the equivalent of this expression is to multiply the numbers in the first parenthesis together.
(36x) + (4 × 2)
Now multiply the numbers in the second parenthesis together.
(36x) + 8
Remove the parenthesis
36x + 8
Now factor out 4 from the expression to get your final answer.
4(9x + 2)
This means that the last expression is equivalent to 4(9x + 2),, or option C.

(-5z)³ as a positive exponent.
Sergio039 [100]

To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a) 5^-3 = 1/5^(- -3) .
