This is a 3-4-5 triangle.

Remember, 
SOH-CAH-TOA

S(ine) =  O(pposite)/H(ypotenuse)
C(osine) = A(djacent)/H(ypotenuse)
T(angent) = O(pposite)/A(djacent)

In Cosine, the adjacent = 3, and the Hypotenuse = 5

Hypotenuse is the longest side. 

3,4,5 is the triangle that fits inside, therefore, the Opposite is 4, and Adjacent is 3

T(angent) = O(pposite)/A(djacent)

Plug in the numbers

T = 4/3

tan = 4/3 is your answer

hope this helps

So cosФ = 3/5 means that ratio of length of adjacent side to length of hypotenuse side is 3:5

So then we can assume adjacent side is 3 and hypotenuse is 5.

By Pythagoras<span>' </span>Theorem, we have √(5² - 3²) = 4, so then length of opposite side would be 4.

Now tanФ is ratio of length of opposite side to length of adjacent side, which would be 4/3.

Final answer: 4/3

Hope this helps.

If 4sintheta = -3, solve for theta given 0°&gt;_theta&gt;_360°
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

311.41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 sin Ф = -3 and Ф is between 0 and 360 degrees, then we conclude that Ф must be either in Quadrant III or Quadrant IV (because the sine is negative).

Let's assume we're in Quadrant IV.  Then sin Ф = opp / hyp = -3/4; that is, the opp side is negative and has length 3, and the hypo is positive 4.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem,  (-3)^2 + x^2 = 4^2, or,

x^2 = 16 - 9 = 7.

Then x is either √7 or -√7.

To find the angle Ф, use the inverse sine function:

Ф = arcsin (-3/4).  Using a calculator we get the angle -40.59 degrees, which corresponds to (360 degrees - 40.59 degrees), or 311.41 degrees.  We can check this by finding the sine of 311.41 degrees; the result is -0.75, which matches "If 4sintheta = -3."

Use Natural Logarithms to solve the equation
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

A) 0.106

Step-by-step explanation:

8e^3x + 4 = 15

Subtract 4 from each side

8e^3x + 4-4 = 15-4

8e^3x  = 11  

Divide each side by 8

8/8e^3x = 11/8

e^(3x) = 11/8

Take the natural log of each side

ln(e^(3x)) = ln(11/8)

3x = ln(11/8)

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3 ln(11/8)

x = 1/3 ln(11/8)

x =.106151244

To the nearest thousandth

x = .106

You and two friends rent a hotel room that costs $30 so you both put in $10 each later that night the owner of the hotel realize
Gennadij [26K]
The dollar didn't go anywhere! The question isn't correct because the money the bellhop stole is supposed to be subtracted, not added. So if we subtract $2 we have $25, and that's how much money the owner got, the men got $3 back and the bellboy got $2.

So the owner gets $25, the men get $3 and the bellboy gets $2, and that equals 30.
