If secant theta equals 25/24 find cotangent theta

First we have to find the measurement of the missing leg because cotangent of an angle is the adjacent leg divided by the opposite leg. We do this by using Pythagorean Theorem. Let x = missing leg.

x² + 24² = 25²
x² + 576 = 625
x² = 625 - 576
x² = 49
x = 7

Our leg opposite of θ is 7 units long.

Secant is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent leg. So if sec θ = 25/24, our adjacent leg is 24 units long. 

Going back to what I said, cotangent is adjacent over opposite; which means cotangent of θ = 24/7 or ≈ 3.43

Answer:

cotθ = \frac{24}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Secant of an angle is given as

secθ = \frac{1}{cos\theta}

since cosθ = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

So secθ = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{25}{24}

Now we have to find the value of cotθ

Since cotθ = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Height}}

Now we'll find the height by Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

25² = 24² + Height²

625 = 576 + Height²

Height² = 625 - 576

             = 49

Height = √49

           = 7

Therefore, cotθ = \frac{24}{7}

What do you use to remove any grouping symbols in math
QveST [7]
<span>When we remove those parentheses, the sign of every term
within the parentheses changes.</span>

Problem 2.   Remove the parentheses.

a)   p + (q −r + s) <span>= p + q − r + s</span>

b)   p − (q −r + s) <span>= p − q + r − s</span>

In each of the following problems, remove the parentheses, then simplify
by adding the numbers.

For example,

<span><span><span>(x − 3) − (y − 4)</span>  =  <span>x − 3 − y + 4</span></span> <span>   =  <span>x − y + 1.</span></span></span>

The sign preceding  (x − 3)  is understood to be + . Therefore the signs within those parentheses do not change.

But the sign preceding (y − 4) is minus.  Therefore, y changes to −y, and −4 changes to +4.

Finally, it is the style in algebra to to write the literal terms, x − y, to the left of the numerical term.

What is the mean of -9,-5,-4,-4,-2,0,1,2,3,5
IrinaK [193]

Answer: - 1.3

Step-by-step explanation: I believe that it's -1.3 if you're referring to the arithmetic mean.

(1) Take the sum of -9, -5, -4, -4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and simplify it to -13

(2) Count the number of terms in the data set.

{-9, -5, -4, -4, -2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5}

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} - The number of terms in the data set is <u>10.</u>  

(3) Divide the sum by the number of terms and simplify.

-13 / 10 = -1.3 (simplified)
