Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define these trigonometric functions:

- tangent (tan): opposite / adjacent

- cotangent (cot): adjacent / opposite

Basically, tangent and cotangent are reciprocals of each other.

We know that cot(x) = 2. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, which means that tan(x) = 1/2.

Thus, the answer is 1/2.

The answer above is correct.

810 - 120 = 690 ; 690 / 2 = 345 mi ( Flagstaff to Albuquerque )

810 - 345 = 465 mi ( L.A. to Flagstaff )

a cake using eggs and potatoes in the ratio of 2 to 5 if he uses sex as how many potatoes will he need

tamaranim1 [39]

When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5

Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5

When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.

2 * what = 6 or 6/2=

you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.

How much does 1 can of soda cost if you get a

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Each can of soda costs about 33 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just a simple division problem, and you can find the answer by dividing the cost of the sodas by the total number of sodas, so 4/12. If you complete that problem, the answer is 0.33 repeating, and since it asks you to round to the nearest hundredth, the answer is just 0.33. It is in dollar amounts, so the answer is 33 cents.
