\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\quad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\\\\\\
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\qquad 
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\quad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}\\\\
-------------------------------

now, we know the angle is in the IV quadrant, that means, the cosine is positive and the sine is negative, or "x" is positive whilst "y" is negative.

\bf cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{x}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{4}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{4^2-x^2}=b\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{-\sqrt{16-x^2}=b}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}{4}
\qquad
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{4}
\qquad 
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}{x}
\\\\\\
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}
\qquad 
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{4}{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}
\qquad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{4}{x}

now, for the cotangent and the cosecant, let's rationalize the denominator,

\bf cot(\theta)=\cfrac{x}{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{16-x^2}}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\implies cot(\theta)=-\cfrac{x\sqrt{16-x^2}}{16-x^2}
\\\\\\
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{4}{-\sqrt{16-x^2}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{16-x^2}}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\implies csc(\theta)=-\cfrac{4\sqrt{16-x^2}}{16-x^2}

Kate sold a sailboat at a loss of 20%. If the selling price was $64, what was the original cost?
lapo4ka [179]

So she lost 20% of the original selling price.

$64 is 80% of the original price.

64/80=0.8

0.8·100=80 dollars. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

How do you figure out what is that makes a number a prime
Mice21 [21]
<span>Prime numbers are the numbers that are bigger than one and cannot be divided evenly by any other number except 1 and itself. If a number can be divided evenly by any other number not counting itself and 1, it is not prime and is referred to as a composite number. Prime numbers are whole numbers that must be greater than 1. Zero and one are not considered prime numbers. Learn how to determine which numbers are prime.

Five added to 6 times a number is equal to 2 less than 8 times the number. What is the number?
Morgarella [4.7K]
30N=2-8N

Subtract 8N from 30N and you get 22N.

22N=2

Divide by 22 on both sides. You get N=2/22

So your answer is N=1/11
