Given that tan(x)= -4/7, and 270 degrees< x< 360 degrees, what is the exact value of sec(x)

Mathematics

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

Answer:

sec(x) = 1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out what x is by using the arctan(x) function:

x = arctan(-\frac{4}{7}) = -29.74

So, now let's figure out the cos(x) as sec(x) is equal to the reciprocal of cos(x):

cos(-29.74) = 0.87

Let's take the reciprocal:

sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(-29.74)} = 1.15

And that's your answer.

Let y- 2t+ 5 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant tminutes after starting out from a location nea
blondinia [14]

The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.

$1 invested for 1 Year at 7.2% compound semiannually
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Sum = $1.073

Interest = $0.073

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $1 is invested for one year at 7.2% interest which compounds semi-annually.

Semi-annual means there should be two equal intervals in a year i.e. 6 months interval.

Now, the semi-annual rate of interest is \frac{7.2}{2} = 3.6%.

Therefore, the invested money will become 1\times [1 + \frac{3.6}{100} ]^{2}  

= $1.073

Therefore, the interest obtained will be $(1.073 - 1) = $0.073. ( Answer )

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (−1, 6) and has a slope
lisov135 [29]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point (-1, 6) and the slope m = -3. substitute:

y-6=-3(x-(-1))\\\\\boxed{y-6=-3(x+1)}

a. The Greek crisis began when the government borrowed more money that they can repay, so the Greek crisis is a debt crisis. The Greek debt crisis originated from the Greek’s government wasteful and excessive expenditure; especially in public workers’ salaries and overgenerous pension plans. As a result, Greek’s economy became week, corrupt, and incompetent, so the Government had to resort to a massive debt just to function. Debt-to-GDP ratio skyrocketed, which translating in the collapse an subsequent crisis of Greek’s economy.

b. To solve this, we are going to use the standard decay function y=a(1-b)^xwhere 
y is the final amount remaining after t years of decaya is the initial amountb is the decay rate in decimal form 
(1-b) is the decay factor 
x is the time in years

I will tell Greece to cut their expending by 25%
To find our decay factor (1-b), we are going to convert the rate from percentage to decimal; to do it, we are going to divide the rate by 100%
b= \frac{25}{100}
b=0.25
Decay factor = (1-b)
Decay factor = (1-0.25)
Decay factor = (0.75)

We can conclude that our decay factor is (0.75)

c. To solve this, we are going to use the standard decay function y=a(1-b)^x from our previous point. 
where
y is the final amount remaining after t years of decaya is the initial amountb is the decay rate in decimal form 
(1-b) is the decay factor 
x is the time in years

We know from our problem that the initial debt in 2009 was $500 billion, so a=500,000,000,000; we also know fromm our previous calculation that our decay factor is (0.75), so lets replace those values in our function:
y=a(1-b)^x
y=500,000,000,000(0.75)^x

We can conclude that the function that model this debt situation is: y=500,000,000,000(0.75)^x.

d. Greece will be debt-free when heir debt is zero. Translating this into our model, Greece will be debt-free when y=0. Since we will need logarithms to find the time x, and the logarithm of zero is not defined, we are going to use a small value for y, so we can use logarithms to find x.

Let y=1. After all, a $1 debt for a country is practically the same as being debt-free.
y=500,000,000,000(0.75)^x
1=500,000,000,000(0.75)^x

Now, we can solve for x using logarithms:
\frac{1}{500,000,000,000} =(0.75)^x
(0.75)^x= \frac{1}{500,000,000,000}
ln(0.75)^x=ln(\frac{1}{500,000,000,000})
xln(0.75)=ln(\frac{1}{500,000,000,000})
x= \frac{ln(\frac{0.01}{500,000,000,000})}{ln(0.75)}
x=93.6

We can conclude that, with me in charge, Greece will be debt free after 93.6 years. I won't reconsider my answer b. Even tough 93.6 years is a lot of time, cutting the public expense more than 25% will have worse consequences for the economy of the country than the debt itself.
