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

A gas at standard temperature and pressure was measured as having a mass of 1485 grams (g) in a volume of 750 liters (L). Which
tangare [24]

Answer:

Here we will use the relation:

Density = mass/volume.

We know that:

Mass = 1485g

Volume = 750L

Density = 1485g/750L = 1.98 g/L

We do not have the options in order to select the correct one, but knowing this density, we can suppose the possible gases.

Two "common" gases with densities similar to this one are:

Carbon Dioxide, with d = 1.977 g/L

Dinitrogen Monoxide, with d = 1.977 g/L

In both cases, if we round up we will get the same density that we calculated at the beginning, so either of these can be the correct option.

What is the y-intercept of y = 5?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The answer is .

whenever y equals 5 this usually means that 5 is the answer because on the Y intercept it usually is just five but if you had x equals 7 the x intercept would be 7 .
