ANSWER

$-\sqrt{3}$

EXPLANATION

The given angle is 870°.

870°-360°-360°=150°

This means that:

870° is coterminal with 150°, hence its terminal side is in the second quadrant.

It makes an acute angle of 30° with the x-axis.

Note that cotangent is negative in the second quadrant,

Hence,

$\cot(870 \degree) = \cot(150 \degree) = - \cot(30 \degree) = - \frac{1}{ \tan(30 \degree) } = - \sqrt{3}$

The first option is correct.

Simplify sin^2y/sec^2 y−1 to a single trigonometric function

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$\frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \sec}^{2}y - 1 } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ${ \tan }^{2} y = { \sec }^{2} y - 1$

Also , ${ \tan}^{2} y = \frac{ { \sin }^{2} y}{ { \cos }^{2}y }$

So ,

$\frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ { \sec }^{2}y - 1 } = \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \tan }^{2} y} = \frac{ { \sin }^{2}y }{ \frac{ { \sin}^{2} y}{ { \cos}^{2}y } } = { \cos }^{2} y$

Plz help me and plz show work

Flauer [41]

Answer:

21. The slope is 50.

22. 0

23. y=50x

24. $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

21. The slope of the line is 50. Slope is defined as "rise over run". As the line increases, each segment moves up the y-axis by $50, and to the right on the x-axis 1 segment. (Work: 50 divided by 1)

22. The y-intercept is (0, 0), or simply 0. If you look at the graph you can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the origin. This makes the y-intercept equal to 0.

23. The slope tells you that the student makes $50 every week. The y-intercept is 0. Using the formula y=mx+b, an appropriate equation would be y=50x.

24. The equation found in problem 23 can me used to determine how much a student makes (y) after "x" weeks. Substitute 52 for x to solve for y. This becomes y=50(52). This can be simplified to y=2600. This means that after 52 weeks, the student will have made $2,600.
