Going upstream: 432 km / 6 hours = 72 km/h
Going downstream: 384 km / 4 hours = 96 km/h
Going upstream against the current means that the effective speed is:
r_boat - r_current = 72
Meanwhile, going downstream with the current means;
r_boat + r_current = 96
Adding both equations (to cancel out r_current) gives:
2r_boat = 72 + 96
r_boat = 84 km/h
Substituting back into one of the original equations: r_current = 12 km/h.

Angle A is in standard position and terminates in quadrant IV. If sec(A)=4/3, complete the steps to find cot(A).
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A) Use the identity tan^2(A)+1=sec^2(A)

Part B) cot(A)=-\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

tan^2(A)+1=sec^2(A) ----> by trigonometric identity

we have

sec(A)=\frac{4}{3}

substitute in the expression above

tan^2(A)+1=(\frac{4}{3})^2

solve for tan(A)

tan^2(A)+1=\frac{16}{9}

tan^2(A)=\frac{16}{9}-1

tan^2(A)=\frac{7}{9}

square root both sides

tan(A)=\pm\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}

Remember that Angle A terminates in quadrant IV

so

The value of tan(A) is negative

tan(A)=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}

<em>Find the value of cot(A)</em>

we know that

cot(A)=\frac{1}{tan(A)} ----> is the reciprocal

therefore

cot(A)=-\frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}

simplify

cot(A)=-\frac{3\sqrt{7}}{7}
