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}}

Solve the equation for y. 5x − 4y = 12. y = 54x− 3 y = −45x+3 y=−54x +3 y = −54x − 3
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) y = 5/4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

T0 solve the equation for y, start by subtracting 5x from both sides

5x − 4y = 12

-4y = -5x + 12

Now divide both sides by -4

y = 5/4x - 3

What the answer to this question
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

d = 40 / c

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 flower boxes and each holds 4 kilograms of soil. This means Ann will need 40 kilograms of soil.

So the number of bags d depends on how much soil c is in each bag. The equation is 40/c = d

What is the y-intercept of f(x) = (​
alex41 [277]

Answer:To find the y-intercept(s) (the point where the graph crosses the y-axis), substitute in 0 for x and solve for y or f(x). To find the x-intercept(s) (the point where the graph crosses the x-axis – also known as zeros), substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. Examples: Find the intercepts of the function given.

Step-by-step explanation:
