How do you solve this? cosθ-tanθcosθ=0

Mathematics

First, lets note that tan(\theta)\cdot cos(\theta)=sin(\theta). This leads us with the following problem:

cos(\theta)-sin(\theta)=0

Lets add sin on both sides, and we get:

cos(\theta)=sin(\theta)

Now if we divide with sin on both sides we get:

\frac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}=1

Now we can remember how cot is defined, it is (cos/sin). So we have:

cot(\theta)=1

Now take the inverse of cot and we get:
\theta=cot^{-1}(1)=\pi\cdot n+ \frac{\pi}{4} , \quad n\in \mathbb{Z}

In general we have cot^{-1}(1)=\frac{\pi}{4}, the reason we have to add pi times n, is because it is a function that has multiple answers, see the picture:

Write an expression to find the difference in the maximum area and minimum area of a nys high school soccer field. Then evaluate
givi [52]
The maximum area of the school soccer field is given by the maximum length times the maximum width.

Thus maximum area = 120 x 80 = 9,600 square yards.

The minimum area of the school soccer field is given by the minimum length times the minimum width.

Thus maximum area = 100 x 55 = 5,500 square yards.

Therefore, the difference between the maximum area and the minimum area is 9,600 - 5,500 = 4,100 square yards.

Use the formula to determine the area of squares with side lengths of 3 cm, 10.5 cm, and π cm.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

For length of side = 3 cm

Area of the square = 9 cm²

For length of side = 10.5 cm

Area of the square =  110.25 cm²

For length of side = π cm

Area of the square = 9.869 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given as :

Area = Side²

therefore,

For length of side = 3 cm

Area of the square = ( 3 cm )² = ( 3 × 3 ) cm² = 9 cm²

For length of side = 10.5 cm

Area of the square = ( 10.5 cm )² = ( 10.5 × 10.5 ) cm² = 110.25 cm²

For length of side = π cm

Area of the square = ( π cm )²  

= ( π × π ) cm²                

= 3.14² cm²                                [π = 3.14]

= 9.869 cm²
