Solution:

we are given that

sin \theta=-5/7

As we know that

cos \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta}  \\

Substitute the value we get

cos \theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{-5}{7})^2}  \\
\\
cos \theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{25}{49})}  \\
\\
cos \theta=\sqrt{(\frac{24}{49})} =\frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}\\

Since sec \theta=\frac{1}{cos \theta}\\

So here sec \theta=\frac{7}{\sqrt{24}}\\

As we know that

tan \theta=\frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}\\
\\  \text{Substitute the values we get}\\
\\
tan \theta=\frac{-5/7}{\frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}}\\
\\
tan \theta=\frac{-5}{\sqrt{24}}\\

Hence the correct option is C.

It is given that

sin \theta = \frac{-5}{7}

And according to pythagorean identity, we will get

cos \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta}

Substituting the value of sin theta, we will get

cos \theta = \pm \sqrt{1- \frac{25}{49}}
\\
cos \theta = \pm \frac{\sqrt{24}}{7}

and sec theta is the reciprocal of cos theta.

SO possible values of sec theta are

sec \theta = \pm \frac{7}{ \sqrt{24}}

And tan theta is the ratio of sin theta and cos theta

So possible values of tan theta are

tan  \theta = \pm \frac{5}{ \sqrt{24}}

So the correct options are B and C .

What is you’re typical approach to solving a math problem that looks too difficult or intimidating
kherson [118]

Answer:

People are more likely to avoid approaching difficult situations as they fear failure or looking bad to others if they get it wrong. They lack the point of view of being looked upon as brave for attempting something that others avoid.

A human resources representative claims that the proportion of employees earning more than $50,000 is less than 40%. To test thi
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The statistic for this case would be:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}}

And replacing we got:

z= \frac{0.436-0.4}{\sqrt{\frac{0.436*(1-0.436)}{700}}}= 1.92

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info:

n =700 represent the sample size

X= 305 represent the number of employees that earn more than 50000

\hat p=\frac{305}{700}= 0.436

We want to test the following hypothesis:

Nul hyp. p \leq 0.4

Alternative hyp : p>0.4

The statistic for this case would be:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}}

And replacing we got:

z= \frac{0.436-0.4}{\sqrt{\frac{0.436*(1-0.436)}{700}}}= 1.92

And the p value would be given by:

p_v = P(z>1.922)= 0.0274
