Answer:

While determining the angle \theta with the tangent ratio or cotangent ratio uses the same sides lengths but the ratios are inverse of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

Let us assume a right triangle Δ ABC with ∠ B = 90°. Now, assume that the angle ∠ CAB = \theta and the sides AB, BC, CA are 3, 4, 5 units respectively.

The tangent ratio of an angle \theta is given by  

\tan \theta = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{4}{3}  

Again, the cotangent ratio of angle \theta is given by  

\cot \theta = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{3}{4}  

Therefore, in both the cases of tangent ratio and cotangent ratio are inverse of each other and while determining the angle \theta with the tangent ratio or cotangent ratio uses the same sides lengths but the ratios are inverse of each other. (Answer)

Kat plays a surfing video game with a friend. Each player earns 50 points for each trick he performs, but loses 40 points each t
Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of points got from 1 stunt = 50.

No. of points deducted from 1 fail = 40.

6 stunts and 9 falls were gained last week.

So, A/C the number of points earned =

(6×50)-(9×40)

= 300 - 360

= -60

Her score today is 3 times her score from last week so multiply by 3

= (-60) × 3

= -180

If it were multiplied by -3 instead of 3 it would be...

(-60) × (-3)

= 180

The difference would be that on multiplying with positive 3 she would be 180 points in the whole but multiplying with negative three means she is 180 points in the league.

The similarity is that that whole number is same but the symbol adds a difference and the absolute value would be same too.

What’s a absolute deviation
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Absolute deviation is when you find the mean of a data set, then the difference between each number and the mean, then the average f the differences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maddox: |10-9| = 1

Enrique: |10-13| = 3

Gloria: |10-9| = 1

McKenna: |10-10| = 0

Asher: |10-9| = 1

Hannah: |10-9| =

Danielle: |10-10| = 0

Katy:  |10-10| = 0

Timothy: |10-11| = 1

Gentry: |10-9| = 1

Now you have the numbers:  1, 3, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1,

Now find the mean of those numbers:

\frac{1 + 3+1+0+1+1+1+0+0+1+1}{10} =\frac{10}{10} =1

The absolute deviation is 1.
