Honors Pre-Calc anybody? (or trig).

Mathematics
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago
4 0

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

An advertising campaign is canceled before launch with probability 0.10, in which case the marketing company is fired with proba
Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.2231 (22.31%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event F = the marketing company is fired, then the probability of being fired is:

P(F)= probability that the advertising campaign is cancelled before lunch * probability that marking department is fired given that the advertising campaign was cancelled before lunch + probability that the advertising campaign is launched but cancelled early  * probability that marking department is fired given that the advertising campaign is launched but cancelled early        ....   (for all the 4 posible scenarios where the marketing department is fired)

thus

P(F) =0.10 * 0.74 + 0.18 * 0.43 + 0.43 * 0.16 + 0.29*0.01 = 0.2231 (22.31%)

then the probability that the marketing department is fired is  0.2231 (22.31%)

Two angles of a Triangle measure 55° and 22° What is the measure of the third angle of the triangle
IgorC [24]

Answer:

c would be the closest

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles equal 180*. so if you combine the 2 angles, which adds up to 77* then that would leave the third angle to be 103* but since that isnt an option choose c since its the closest.

Heeeeelp Find the distance of AB if A (2, 6) and B (-5, 2).
evablogger [386]

Answer:

let A (2, 6) be (x1, y1)

B (-5, 2)  be (x2, y2)

distance AB =√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

                    √[(-7)²+ (-4)²]

                   √65
