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)

Determine which equations below, when combined with the equation 3x-4y=2, will form a system with no solutions. Choose all that
svetoff [14.1K]
Two equations will not have solution if they are parallel and have different y-intercepts. Parallel lines have the same slope. In a slope-intercept form, the equation of the line can be expressed as,       
 
        y = mx + b 

where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given: 3x - 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2

A. 2y = 1.5x - 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1

B. 2y = 1.5x - 1
Slope-intercept:  y = 3x/4 - 1/2

C. 3x + 4y = 2
Slope-intercept:  y = -3x/4 + 1/2

D. -4y + 3x = -2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 + 1/2

Hence, the answers to this item are A and D.

kvasek [131]
<span>The bacteria in a certain culture double every 7.1 hours.
The culture has 6,500 bacteria at the start. How much after 4 hrs
:
Using the formula: A = Ao*2^(t/d) where
A = amt after t time

Ao = initial amt (t=0)
t = time of action
d = doubling time of the bacteria
;
A = 6500*2^(4/7.1)
A = 6500 * 1.4777
A = 9605 bacteria after 4 hrs</span>
