Need help with this problem

1 answer:

8 0

$4(2 - 5x) = 6 - 3(1 - 3x) \\ 8 - 20x = 3(1 - 3x) \\ 8 - 20x = 3 + 9x \\ subtract \: 9x \: from \: bth \: sides \\ 8 - 29x = 3 \\ subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides \\ - 29x = - 5 \\ divide \: - 29 \: both \: sides \\ x = \frac{5}{29}$
answer is C

Find cotθ, cosθ, and secθ, where θ is the angle shown in the figure.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$\cos( \theta) = \frac{5}{8} \\ {8}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {opp}^{2} \\ {opp}^{2} = 64 - 25 = 39 \\ opp = \sqrt{39} \\ \sin(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{39}}{8} \\ \tan(\theta) = \frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{ \sqrt{39} }{5}} \\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{5}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{39}}{8}} \\ \csc( \theta) = \frac{8}{ \sqrt{39} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{1}{\cos( \theta) } = \frac{1}{ \frac{5}{8} } \\ \sec( \theta) = \frac{8}{5}$
