Consider right triangle ABC with leg BC=6, hypotenuse AB=7 and angle C such that \sin \angle A=\dfrac{6}{7}.

By the Pythagorean theorem, you can find the length of the second leg AC:

AC^2+BC^2=AB^2,\\AC^2+36=49,\\AC^2=13,\\AC=\sqrt{13}.

Use the definition of \cot:

\cot \angle A=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{AC}{BC} =\dfrac{\sqrt{13}}{6}.

Answer: \cot \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{13}}{6}.

\sin \theta =\dfrac{6}{7}\\
\cot \theta=\dfrac{x}{6}\\
x^2+6^2=7^2\\
x^2=49-36\\
x^2=13\\
x=\sqrt{13}\\
\boxed{\cot \theta =\dfrac{\sqrt{13}}{6}}

How do you do this question?
Luda [366]

Answer:

∫ₑ°° 1 / (x (ln x)¹⁰) dx

∫₁°° x⁻³ dx

Step-by-step explanation:

A p-series 1 / xᵖ converges if p > 1.

∫ₑ°° 1 / (x (ln x)¹⁰) dx

If u = ln x, then du = 1/x dx.

When x = e, u = 1.  When x = ∞, u = ∞.

= ∫₁°° 1 / (u¹⁰) du

p = 10, converges

∫₁₀°° x^(-⅔) dx

= ∫₁₀°° 1 / (x^⅔) dx

p = ⅔, diverges

∫₁°° 2 / x^0.5 dx

= 2 ∫₁°° 1 / x^0.5 dx

p = 0.5, diverges

∫₁°° x⁻³ dx

= ∫₁°° 1 / x³ dx

p = 3, converges

∫₂°° 1/(3x) dx

= ⅓ ∫₂°° 1/x dx

p = 1, diverges

Dan had 15 cups<br> Of apple juice he wanted to add 6 oz how much would he have in the end?
yaroslaw [1]
If you want to know the total, it would be 15 cups and 6 oz. One cup is 8 oz, so 6 oz would have to stand next to 15 cups. 
If  you want to know the total amount of ounces, it would be 126 ounces. 
This information is only accurate if you are using USA  measurements. 
Hope this helps! Have a happy holiday!
