Answer:

B) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 5/6 • 8

According to PEMDAS, we need to multiply before we subtract

5/6 *8 = 40/6

We can divide the top and bottom by 2

40/6 = 20/3

Replace 5/6*8 with 20/3 in the original equation

2/3 -20/3

-18/3

Divide the top and bottom by 3

-6/1

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 5/6 * 8

You have to multiply first, then subtract:

-5/6 * 8 = -20/3

Put it back into an equation:

2/3 - 20/3

Simplify:

-18/3

= -6

If sin=2/3 and tan is less than 0, what is the value of cos

Sonbull [250]

tangent is less than 0 or tan(θ) < 0, is another way to say tan(θ) is negative, well, that only happens on the II Quadrant and IV Quadrant, where sine and cosine are different signs, so we know θ is on the II or IV Quadrant.

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{2}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{3}}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}$

$\bf \pm\sqrt{3^2-2^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{5}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{II Quadrant}}{-\sqrt{5}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-\sqrt{5}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{3}}~\hfill$
