Honors Pre-Calc anybody? (or trig).
1 answer:
Answer:
sec(θ) = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be helpful to draw a triangle with sides that produce the given ratio. See the attachment. Then the third side of the triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, if necessary. Finally, the ratio for the desired trig function can be determined.
sec = hypotenuse/adjacent
sec(θ) = 5/-2 = -5/2
__
If you don't want to do that, or if you have various trig identities memorized, you can use the appropriate trig identity.
sin² + cos² = 1
so ...
sec² = 1/cos² = 1/(1 -sin²)
sec = 1/√(1 -sin²)
Since the tangent is positive, this is a third-quadrant angle. The secant will be negative.
sec(θ) = -1/√(1 -(21/25)) = -√(25/4) . . . . . filling in the given value for sin(θ)
sec(θ) = -5/2

Answer with explanation:
To draw the graph of linear equation of the form
y-a=m (x-b)
We will first write it in slope intercept form which is of the form
It will cut x axis and y axis at , respectively.
As Euclid postulate States that, Unique equation of line can be Determined by two points,So join these two points.And Infinite number of points lie on a line.
