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.

Answer:

x = 14 and x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Not that + (- ) = -

(a)

x + (- 4) = 10, that is

x - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 14

(b)

2x - 10 = - 24 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 7

Hillary rolls 2 number cubes numbered 1 through 6 while playing her favorite board game. She will get a second turn if she rolls
Nataly [62]

Answer:

1 in 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest possible number Hillary can get is 12, meaning that the only odd number above 10 which she can get is 11.

There are two possible ways in which Hillary can get 11:

(a) Hillary rolls a 5 on her first cube and a 6 on her second cube

(b) Hillary rolls a 6 on her first cube and a 5 on her second cube

There are 34 other possible outcomes which Hillary can have when rolling her number cubes, for a total of 36 possible outcomes.

Since 2 of these outcomes result in a roll of 11, Hillary has a 2 in 36 chance of rolling an 11, which can be simplified as 1 in 18.
