If sinθ = -1/2 and θ is in Quadrant III, then tanθ

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]3 years ago
3 0

let's recall that on the III Quadrant sine/y is negative and cosine/y is negative, now, the hypotenuse/radius is never negative, since it's just a radius unit.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{2}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{2^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{4-1}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{3}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{III Quadrant}}{-\sqrt{3}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-\sqrt{3}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{tan(\theta )=\cfrac{-1}{-\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} }\implies tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

The length of a rectangle is 4 cm longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 44 cm, find its area.​
adell [148]
Length: w+4
Width:w
Perimeter:44
Area: L times w
P=44
44=2(w)+2(w+4)
44=2w+2w+8
44=4w+8
36=4w
w=9
L=w+4
L=9+4
L=13
Area should equal 117 cm squared

What is 5/10 in decimal
Tcecarenko [31]
Well you can either think of actually dividing the fraction or reduce to lowest forms which is 1/2. then from 1/2 you can either divide that or just say it is .5.

I guess I'm lacking in differential equations. I couldn't solve this question. Can you help me?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

See Explanation.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Equality Properties
  • Reciprocals

<u>Algebra II</u>

  • Log/Ln Property: ln(\frac{a}{b} ) = ln(a) - ln(b)

<u>Calculus</u>

Derivatives

Basic Power Rule:

  • f(x) = cxⁿ
  • f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Chain Rule: \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)

Derivative of Ln: \frac{d}{dx} [ln(u)] = \frac{u'}{u}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

ln(\frac{2x-1}{x-1} )=t

<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>

  1. Rewrite:                                                                                                         t = ln(\frac{2x-1}{x-1})
  2. Rewrite [Ln Properties]:                                                                                 t = ln(2x-1) - ln(x - 1)
  3. Differentiate [Ln/Chain Rule/Basic Power Rule]:                                         \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{2x-1} \cdot 2 - \frac{1}{x-1} \cdot 1
  4. Simplify:                                                                                                          \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{2}{2x-1} - \frac{1}{x-1}
  5. Rewrite:                                                                                                          \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{2(x-1)}{(2x-1)(x-1)} - \frac{2x-1}{(2x-1)(x-1)}
  6. Combine:                                                                                                       \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{-1}{(2x-1)(x-1)}
  7. Reciprocate:                                                                                                  \frac{dx}{dt} = -(2x-1)(x-1)
  8. Distribute:                                                                                                         \frac{dx}{dt} = (1-2x)(x-1)
