A perpendicular slope is a negative reciprocal of the initial slope.
So you take the initial slope and flip the numerator and denominator (3/4 becomes 4/3, 4 is really 4/1 so it becomes 1/4)
Then you change the sign, so if it's positive it becomes negative and vice versa.
3/1 becomes -1/3

Answer:

diameter = IJ

radius = KH or IH or JH

chord = LM

length HK = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

if IJ is the diameter and the radius is KH then r must be 2 as the radius is always half the diameter

$3tan^{2} \theta +7sec\theta=3$
First I converted the equation terms into sine and cosine.
$tan^{2}\theta = \frac{sin^{2}\theta}{cos^{2}\theta}$ and $sec\theta= \frac{1}{cos\theta}$
Substitution:
$\frac{3sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta} + \frac{7}{cos\theta} =3$
Common Denominator Created:
$\frac{3sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta} + \frac{7cos\theta}{cos^2\theta} =3$
Multiply each term by the LCD:
$3sin^2\theta+7cos\theta=3cos^2\theta$
Substitution: Recall ⇒ $sin^2\theta =1-cos^2\theta$
$3(1-cos^2\theta)+7cos\theta=3cos^2\theta$
Distribute and collect all terms on one side:
$6cos^2\theta-7cos\theta-3=0$
Factor and set each factor equal to 0:
$(2cos\theta-3)(3cos\theta+1)=0$
$2cos\theta-3=0$ ⇒ $theta=cos^{-1} \frac{3}{2}$
$3cos\theta+1=0$ ⇒ $theta=cos^{-1} \frac{-1}{3}$
The 2nd factor provides only possible answer 109.5 degrees

Find all values of x in the interval [0, 2π] that satisfy the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)

asambeis [7]

Answer:

(15°, 165°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 6 sin2(x) = 3, we are to find the value of x that satisfies the equation in the interval [0, 2π]

Given

6 sin2(x) = 3,

Divide both sides by 6

6 sin2(x)/6 = 3/6

sin2(x) = 1/2

2x = sin^-1(0.5)

2x = 30°

x = 30°/2

x = 15°

Since sin is positive in the second quadrant, x2 = 180-15

x = 165°

Hence the values within the interval are 15 and 165.

(15°, 165°)
