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}

2,6,18,...<br> Find the 8th term.<br> Find the 8th term.
maw [93]

Answer:

4378

Step-by-step explanation:

Its clearly given that each term is multiplied by 3

I.e- 2×3 = 6

6×3= 18

and so on....

so here the G.P series is a=2 and r=3

To find the 8th term ar^8-1

ar^7 = 2×3^7

= 2×2187

= 4378

The figure is made up of 2 cones and a cylinder. The cones and cylinder have a 4 cm diameter.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

62.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of both cones is approximately 12.57

formula= pi*r^2*h/3

Volume of the cylinder is approximately 37.7

formula= pi*r^2*h

you add the volumes

12.57+12.57+37.7

= 62.84
