Question:

If cos(θ) =-8/17 and sin(θ) is negative, then sin(θ) = ___  and tan(θ) =___.

Answer:

Sin\theta = \frac{-15}{17}

Tan\theta = \frac{15}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

cos(θ) =-8/17

Required

sin(θ) = __

tan(θ) =__

The first step is to determine the length of the third side

Given that

cos(\theta) = \frac{Adj}{Hyp}

Where Adj and Hyp represent Adjacent and Hypotenuse

cos(\theta) = \frac{-8}{17}

By comparison

Adj = -8\ and\ Hyp = 17

Using Pythagoras

Hyp^2 = Adj^2 + Opp^2

By Substitution

17^2 = (-8)^2 + Opp^2

289 = 64 + Opp^2

Subtract 64 from both sides

289 - 64 = 64 - 64 + Opp^2

225 = Opp^2

Take square roots of both sides

\sqrt{225} = \sqrt{Opp^2}

\sqrt{225} = Opp

15 = Opp

Opp = 15

The question says that sin(θ) is negative; This implies that θ is in the third quadrant and as such

Opp = -15

From trigonometry

Sin\theta = \frac{Opp}{Hyp}

Sin\theta = \frac{-15}{17}

Also from trigonometry

Tan\theta = Sin\theta / Cos\theta

Tan\theta = \frac{-15}{17} / \frac{-8}{17}

Tan\theta = \frac{-15}{17} * \frac{-17}{8}

Tan\theta = \frac{-15 * -17}{17  * 8}

Tan\theta = \frac{15 * 17}{17  * 8}

Tan\theta = \frac{15}{8}

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater sign is > and the less then symbol is <

Using the red arrows on the number line, you can tell which one is bigger or less. The dot is colored in so it has to have a line under it. So for the first one (top, left), The red arrow is pointing to the right side meaning x is bigger than 3. Therefore x ≥ 3.

In the next one (top, right) the arrow is pointing to the negative side so that one must be less than 3. The dot is also colored in meaning it is: x ≤ 3

In the next one (bottom, left) the arrow is pointing to the right, the dot not colored in, so it has no line. Therefore it is  x > 3

Last one (bottom right) the arrow is pointing left, dot is white meaning that the answer is x < 3

If you're wondering what the open dots and closed dots mean:

An open dot is used to show that the ray's endpoint is not a component of the solution when the inequality is "strict" ( < or >).

A closed dot is used to denote that the endpoint is a component of the solution for the other types of inequalities (≥ and ≤ ).

If 2x+y=8 and x-1=y then what is y? Please be detailed I want to know more then just the answer but how to solve
IgorLugansk [536]
This is Bridge Algebra 2 stuff. Well you see that 2x+y=8 and x-1=y. To slove for y you have to slove for x first to find y. So 2x+x-1=8 ( the reason I did that is because there is a y in that equation and I placed it on that equation) now lets slove this equation for x. So 3x-1=8( I add 2x with x) 3x=9 ( I made -1 a positive one and add it to 8) x=3 ( I divided 9/3 to get 3). Now that you have slove x we will use x to slove for y. So 3-1=y, 2=y. Your answer is y=2.

Which polynomial is a quadratic trinomial?
il63 [147K]
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The largest exponent here is 4, so that makes it a quartic.

There are 3 terms, so we have a trinomial. Each term is separated by either a plus or a minus.

Choice A shows a quartic polynomial. Choice B is a cubic polynomial. Choice d is a quadratic trinomial.
