Explain the difference between using the tangent ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the cotange

nt ratio. You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view. (10 points)

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)

What is the graph of the linear inequality y≤−3x+4?
tatiyna

Answer:

It would look like the picture I attached at the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope is -3 and the y intercept is (0,4) (plugging in 0 for x will get you that point), and then you can just graph an equation like you normally would, using rise/run to go down 3 units for every one unit you go right, and plugging in easy x values to check your work.

It gets a little tricky because the question then adds the inequality, and we see that y is now less than <em>or equal to </em>the original equation.

Since it is less than, we can shade all the values below the graph.

(Also, you should probably note for future reference that if it was just less than, the shading would look the same while the graph itself would be dotted because the values on the line are nor included in the solution set).

Desmos is a great website to use if you're having trouble graphing in the future :)

The total cost of four pens and seven mechanical pencils is $13.25. The cost of each pencil is .75 cents. Write an equation to f
Dovator [93]
X = pens and y = pencils

4x + 7y = 13.25
y = 0.75

4x + 7(0.75) = 13.25 
4x + 5.25 = 13.25
4x = 13.25 - 5.25
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2 <===so each pen cost 2 bucks
