Mathematics

Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

tan(a) = -4/3

sec(a) = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

sine is opposite over hypotenuse.  so no we have a triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 and an opposite side relative to some angle a of -4.  the hypotenuse is never negative.  

so draw a right triangle, mark one of the non right angles as a then the side opposite to that is -4 and the hypotenuse is 5.  use the pythagorean theorem to find the remaining angle.  The result could be positive or negative, but the questions specifically tells us we want the positive version.

b^2 + -4^2 = 5^2

b = 3

tangent is opposite over adjacent.  for a we know the opposite is 3now so tan(a) = -4/3

Now, secant is 1/cos, so lets find cos(a)

cos is adjacent over hypotenuse, and we jsut found the adjacent is 3.  so cos(a) = 3/5

Now 1/cos(a) = hypotenuse over adjacent so 5/3

$480

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, you find how much he paid per hour which would be 80 * 5 = $400. Then, you have to add the tip in so you do $400 * 1.2 (or 120%) = $480.

You can buy a 6 hour phone card for $5, but the fine print says that each minute you talk actually costs you 1.5 minutes of time
Snowcat [4.5K]

we are given

You can buy a 6 hour phone card for $5

so, total hours = 6 hours

now, we can change it into min

6 hours = 6*60 min

6hrs=360min

Let's assume

x is the number of actual minutes talked,

y is the called number of minutes left on the card

and we are given

each minute you talk actually costs you 1.5 minutes of time

so, we get equation as

y=360-1.5x
