On a piece of paper, graph Y = 2x - 3, what is the answer?
1 answer:
First, determine y-intercept and x-intercept of the line
# y-intercept (when x = 0)
y = 2x - 3
y = 2(0) - 3
y = 0 - 3
y = -3
# x-intercept (when y = 0)
y = 2x - 3
0 = 2x - 3
2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2
x = 1.5
Second, put y-intercept and x-intercept on cartesian plane, then connect the intercepts

y = 2x - 3
y = 2(0) - 3
y = 0 - 3

Answer:
- sin(Ф) = (4/41)√41; csc(Ф) = (√41)/4
- cos(Ф) = (5/41)√41; sec(Ф) = (√41)/5
- tan(Ф) = 4/5; cot(Ф) = 5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can help you with three of the functions. Then you need to remember the relations between those and the other three.
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(Ф) = 4/5
This suggests you can draw a triangle like the one attached that has adjacent side 5 and opposite side 4. Then hypotenuse can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
AC² = AB² +BC² = 5² +4² = 41
AC = √41 . . . . . hypotenuse
Then the other trig functions are ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(Ф) = 4/√41 = (4/41)√41
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(Ф) = 5/√41 = (5/41)√41
And the reciprocal functions are ...
csc(Ф) = 1/sin(Ф) = (√41)/4
sec(Ф) = 1/cos(Ф) = (√41)/5
cot(Ф) = 1/tan(Ф) = 5/4
