If cos θ =-2/5 and tan θ > 0, what is the value of sin θ?

If the value of cos(θ) is negative, this angle (θ) can only be in one of two quadrants; the sine quadrant or the tan quadrant. In the sine quadrant, tan(θ) must be negative, but since tan(θ) > 0, we can safely say that the angle (<span>θ) is based in the tan quadrant.

We know that cos(</span><span>θ) = - Adjacent / Hypotenuse, and in this case Adjacent = 2 and Hypotenuse = 5. Using Pythagoras' theorem, we can find the opposite side of the right angled triangle situated in the tan quadrant...

</span>Adjacent² + Opposite² = Hypotenuse²

Therefore:

2² + Opposite² = 5²

Opposite² = 5² - 2²

Opposite² = 21

Opposite = √(21)

------------

Now, sin(θ) must be negative, as the right angled triangle is in the tan quadrant. We also know that sin(<span>θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse, therefore:

sin(</span><span>θ) = - [</span>√(21)]/[5]

Answer:

9 Miles to be specific 8.95

Step-by-step explanation:

3 miles = 4.83 km

4.83 km = 4830 m

60 seconds X 45 =2700 Seconds

4830 divided by 2700 = 1.78 m/s

you want to know the distance so its speed X time

135 minutes X 60 seconds = 8100 secs

1.78 m/s X 8100 =14418 meters

14418 = 14.418 km

14.418 km = 9 miles

P.S. There is a shorter version but i think this is simpler for me and I use metric units.

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 2 1/

2

to a improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 2 1/

2

= 2 · 2 + 1/

2

= 4 + 1/

2

= 5/

2

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 2. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 2/

2

= 4/

2

b) Add the answer from previous step 4 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 4 + 1 = 5

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 5) over the denominator 2.

Two and one half is five halfs

Where are the minimum and maximum values for f(x) = -2 + 4 cos x on the interval (0,21]?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value is when cos x = 1

So it is -2 + 4(1) = 2.

Minimum value, when  cos x = -1:

= -2  + 4(-1) = -6.
