Find tan θ if cos θ = 1/4 and sin θ < 0.

1 answer:

7 0

Hello :
cos²(θ) +sin²(θ) = 1
(1/4)² +sin²(θ) = 1
sin²(θ) = 1 -1/16
sin²(θ) =15/16
sin(θ) = - √(15/16)=- √15/4 because : sin θ < 0.
tan (θ) =sin (θ)/ cos( θ) =(- √15/4)/(1/4) = - √15

Answer:

y=-1x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is the answer because 2 is the y intercept and the x is -2 but negative would not be the slope.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Within 0.5 of ;

is not ;

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

The actual standard deviation, = 1

;

The range rule of thumb to estimate the value if standard deviation is ;

Estimated standard deviation = Range / 4

The range = (maximum - minimum) values

The estimated standard deviation = 4 / 4 = 1

Hence, the estimated standard deviation is with 0.5 of the actual standard deviation, Thus, the estimated standard deviation is not substantially different from the actual standard deviation.

What is the volume of the right triangular prism shown?

ollegr [7]

Given:

The sides of the base of the triangle are 8, 15 and 17.

The height of the prism is 15 units.

We need to determine the volume of the right triangular prism.

Area of the base of the triangle:

The area of the base of the triangle can be determined using the Heron's formula.

$S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

Substituting a = 8, b = 15 and c = 17. Thus, we have;

$S=\frac{8+15+17}{2}$

$S=\frac{40}{2}=20$

Using Heron's formula, we have;

$Area = \sqrt{S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)}$

$Area = \sqrt{20(20-8)(20-15)(20-17)}$

$Area = \sqrt{20(12)(5)(3)}$

$Area = \sqrt{3600}$

$Area = 36$

Thus, the area of the base of the right triangular prism is 36 square units.

Volume of the right triangular prism:

The volume of the right triangular prism can be determined using the formula,

$V=\frac{1}{2}A_b h$

where $A_b$ is the area of the base of the prism and h is the height of the prism.

Substituting the values, we have;

$V=\frac{1}{2}(60\times 15)$

$V=450$

Thus, the volume of the right triangular prism is 450 cubic units.

Histograms in mathh I need help with it because I am clueless!

shutvik [7]

Total number of squares = 60 + 80 + 110 + 115 + 95 + 40 = 500
1000/500 = 2 so each little square represents 2 people
60 x 2 as there’s 60 squares from 6-10 so answer is 120
