let's recall that on the IV Quadrant the x/cosine is positive and the y/sine is negative, and of course the hypotenuse is just a radius unit and therefore never negative.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-7}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}\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}

\bf \pm\sqrt{15^2-(-7)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{176}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{IV Quadrant}}{+\sqrt{176}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\sqrt{176}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{15}}~\hfill

Solve the inequality 16 > -2u
Ksju [112]
To solve this inequality, you need to isolate the value of u. To do this, divide both sides by -2. When you do this, keep in mind that when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative in an inequality, you MUST flip the sign, so your answer would be -8 < u or u > -8.

Solve for Y:<br> 2/3 (y+57 )= 178
sattari [20]
Y= 210  you have to distribute 2/3 to y then to 57 and your equation would be 2/3y + 38= 178 then you take 38 and subtract 178 - 38 and you get 140 then you divide 140/ (2/3) and you will get 210 as your answer.(:
