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

Mathematics

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}

A quadrilateral with no sides parallel and diagonals that are perpendicular
Drupady [299]
<h3>Answer:  Quadrilateral</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Of your original given list, let's write down the parallelograms. They are:

  • Parallelogram
  • Rectangle
  • Rhombus
  • Square

So we cross those off the list since we want a quadrilateral with no sides parallel. A parallelogram, by definition, is a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides that are parallel.

We can also rule out the trapezoids because a trapezoid is a four sided figure (quadrilateral) where we have exactly 1 pair of parallel sides, while the other sides are not parallel.

Lastly, we can rule out the kite because any kite has perpendicular diagonals.

The only thing left is quadrilateral. In my opinion this answer should be more specific and say "quadrilateral that isn't a parallelogram, a trapezoid, or a kite", but I think I see what your teacher was going for here.

Factor the following :
TEA [102]

Answer:

(6x - 7y)(6x + 7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

36x² - 49y² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , then

36x² - 49y²

= (6x)² - (7y)²

= (6x - 7y)(6x + 7y)

The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A fund needed 30000
p Amount invested?
R interest rate 0.1
K compounded semiannual 2
T time 1 year
Solve the formula for p to get
P=A÷(1+r/k)^kt
P=30,000÷(1+0.1÷2)^(2×1)
P=27,210.88
