If cos theta is -5/13 and sin θ < 0, what is tan θ ?

1 answer:

7 0

Take the right angled triangle with sides 13, 12 and 5. sine theta will be 12/13

When sin theta < 0 and cos theta < 0 we are in the third quadrant so sin theta will be -12/13

tan theta = sin theta / cos theta = -5/13 / -12/13 = -5*13 / -12*13 = 5/12

Test statistic:

z = (0.67 - 0.63) / 0.033 = 1.21

p - Value = P(z > 1.21) = 0.106

What number must you add to complete the square x^2+24x=17

Arte-miy333 [17]

We have
x² + 24x = 17 (1)

Note that
(x + 12)² = x² + 24x + 144
By adding 144 to the left side of equation (1), it becomes a perfect square.

Therefore
x² + 24x = (x+12)² - 144 (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
(x + 12)² - 144 = 17
(x + 12)² = 17 +144
(x + 12)² = 161

Answer:
We added 144 to the left side of equation (1) in order to make it a perfect square.
