Answer:

sin (Q) = 1 / sqrt(17)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                 cot (Q) = -4

Find:

- find sin theta if cos theta < 0

Solution:

- We will construct a right angle triangle first, mark one of the angle as Q.

- We know from trigonometric relations that:

                                 cot ( Q ) = 1 / tan (Q)

- Hence, according to tan (Q) your opposite side is -4 and base is 1. However, since cot (Q) is a reciprocal of that we will mark -4 as base and +1 as opposite.

- Now to compute sin(Q), we will have to find the hypotenuse first:

                                 H^2 = P^2 + B^2

                                 H^2 = (-4)^2 + (1)^2

- we get,                   H^2 = 17

                                 H = sqrt (17)

- so from hypotenuse we can determine sin (Q) as follows:

                                 sin(Q) = P / H

                                 sin (Q) = 1 / sqrt(17)

- since, cos (Q) < 0, then sin (Q) must be > 0.

Imagine the unit circle. The cot(theta) is a line from (0,1) to (-4,1). Imagine it is part of a triangle with the origin (draw it!).

Then the hypotenuse length is √(1+4²) = √17.

The sine rule says that sin(90)/√17 must equal sin(theta)/4, and sin(90)=1, so

sin(\theta) = \frac4{\sqrt{17}}

Answer:

  1. 14/9
  2. -3.6
  3. 5/4
  4. 11/2, 7/8, 5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. n = (11/6 -2/3)(4/3) = (7/6)(4/3) = 14/9

__

2. x = (9.82 -28.18)/5.1 = -3.6

__

3. y = 3/2 -1/4 = 5/4

__

4a. t = 2(3 -1/4) = 11/2

4b. y = (1/5 +1/2)(5/4) = ((2+5)/10)(5/4) = 7/8

4c. x = (11/3 -2)/6 = (5/3)(1/6) = 5/18

Alik [6]

Answer:

  •          T=t+94

                 Where T is the hight temperature and t is the day

Explanation:

The table shows that every day the<em> High temperature, T (degrees F) </em>increases 1 unit.

Then, this is a linear function with slope = 1ºF / day.

You can use the point-slope equation to determine the <em>function of the high temperature:</em>

  • Point-slope equation:

       y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

  • Choose any point from the table and m = 1. I will use the first point (1,95)

  • m = 1
  • x₁ = 1
  • y₁ = 95

Substitute:

        y-95=1(x-1)\\\\y=x-1+95\\\\y=x+94

Make the variables  y = T, and x = t:

     T=t+94
