If tan theta is -1, we know immediately that theta is in either Quadrant II or Q IV. We need to focus on Q IV due to the restrictions on theta.
Because tan theta is -1, the ray representing theta makes a 45 degree angle with the horiz axis, and a 45 degree angle with the negative vert. axis. Thus the hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem, tells us that the hyp is sqrt(2).
Thus, the cosine of theta is adj / hyp, or +1 / sqrt(2), or [sqrt(2)]/2
The secant of theta is the reciprocal of that, and thus is
2 sqrt(2)
---------- * ------------ = sqrt(2) (answer)
sqrt(2) sqrt(2)
Answer:
y= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10x = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation will contain the x variable only.
Answer:
x = 4
y =23
work:
plug in the value of Y to -2x-3y=-2. -2x - 3(<span>6x-1) = -2
multiply 3 and the numbers in parenthesis. -2x -18x - 3 =-2
combine like terms (-2x -18x). -20x - 3 = -2
subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the variable. -20x = -5
divide to isolate the variable (-20/-5) x = 4
-
now that we know the value of x, it'll be easy to find Y.
Plug it in to the first equation.
</span><span>y=6(4)-1
</span>y = 24 - 1
y = 23
so x = 4
and y = 23
hope this helps! :D
