Answer:

sinΘ = - \frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1

⇒ sinx = ± \sqrt{1-cos^2x}

Since 180 < Θ < 270 then sinΘ < 0

sinΘ = - \sqrt{1-(-8/17)^2}

        = - \sqrt{1-\frac{64}{289} }

        = - \sqrt{\frac{225}{289} } = - \frac{15}{17}

Here is your answer

[I am using ☆ instead of theta]

cos☆= -8/17

{cos}^{2}☆= {(-8/17)}^{2}= 64/289

Now,

sin☆= \sqrt{1-{cos}^{2}☆}

sin☆= \sqrt{1- (64/289)}

sin☆= \sqrt{(289-64)/289}

sin☆= \sqrt{225/289}

sin☆= 15/17

Since, 180<theta<270

so, it must lie in 3rd quadrant.

In third quadrant

sin☆ is -ve

Hence, sin☆= -15/17

19) A submarine ascended from 56.8 meters under the sea level to 27.4 meters under the sea level.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

29.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A submarine ascended from 56.8 meters under the sea level to 27.4 meters under the sea level.

distance it moved between two positions. Use the "distance on the number line "formula

Initial Position or distance of submarine before ascension = 56.8 meters

Final position after ascension = 27.4 meters

The distance moved by the submarine between the two positions can be obtained by.

(Initial distance - Final distance)

(56.8 - 27.4) = 29.4 meters

V2 - 15 = -2v Solve the Quadratic. What are the 2 solutions?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

v=-5 and v=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

v^2-15=-2v

We have to find  two solutions of quadratic equation.

v^2+2v-15=0

Using addition property of equality

v^2+5v-3v-15=0   (By using factorization method)

v(v+5)-3(v+5)=0

(v+5)(v-3)=0

Substitute each factor equal to 0

v+5=0 and v-3=0

v=-5 and v=3

Hence, two solutions of quadratic equation are

v=-5 and v=3
