since secθ = 1/cosθ

then secθ of cos(5/6) would be 1 / 5/6 = 6/5

Answer:

\frac{6}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cos \theta = \frac{5}{6}

To Find : Sec \theta

Solution:

Property : sec\theta = \frac{1}{cos\theta}

So, Cos \theta = \frac{5}{6}

So, Using property

sec\theta = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{6}}

sec\theta = \frac{6}{5}

Hence the value of sec θ is \frac{6}{5}

Sat question: a circle in the xy-plane has a diameter with endpoints (-1,-3) and (7,3). if the point (0,b) lies on the circle an
labwork [276]

1) use the distance formula to find that the radius (r) of the circle = 5

2) use the midpoint formula to find that the center of the circle (h,k) = (3, 0)

3) Now use the formula of a circle and input the (h,k) and r to create:

(x - 3)² + (y - 0)² = 5² → (x - 3)² + y² = 25

4) input the "x" value given in the question (x = 0) and solve for "y":

(0 - 3)² + y² = 25 → 9 + y² = 25 → y² = 16 → y = +/- 4

Since the question states that "b" must be positive, you can disregard the -4.

Answer: b = 4

Answer:

∠EFG = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

As FH bisects ∠EFG , ∠EFH = ∠HFG .

We know that ∠EFH = (-5x + 89)° . So ∠HFG = ∠EFH = (-5x + 89)°

Also, ∠HFG  + ∠EFH = ∠EFG

=> 2(-5x + 89)° = (61 - x)°

=> -10x + 178 = 61 - x

=> 10x - x = 178 - 61

=> 9x = 117

=> x = 117 / 9 = 13

Putting the value of 'x' in ∠EFG gives :-

(61 - x)° = (61 - 13)° = 48°

A 51 foot piece of wire is cut into 3 sections so that the first section is three times as long as the second section and the se
kirill [66]

Answer:

The length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the wire = 51 ft

Let first section of wire = x

Second section of wire = y

Third section of wire = z

According to given data

x = 3 y & y = 4 z

Total length of the wire = x + y + z = 51

y + 3 y + \frac{y}{4} = 51

\frac{17}{4} y = 51

y = 12

x = 3 × 12 = 36

z = \frac{y}{4} = \frac{12}{4} = 3

Therefore the length of the longest section x = 36 ft

Write the equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and has a slope of 2 in point-slope form. A) y – 1 = 2(x – 3) B) y – 3
fomenos
So point slope form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept so

in (x,y) form
one solution is x=1 and y=3, also slope is 2 so
m=2
subsitute
3=2(1)+b
3=2+b
subtract 2
1=b
equation is
y=2x+1

tricky answers so simplify them
A: y-1=2(x-3)
distribute
y-1=2x-6
add 1
y=2x-5
not the answer

B: y-3=2(x-1)
distribute
y-3=2x-2
add 3
y=2x+1
correct
the answer is B
