If cos ⁡θ=−8/17, and 180°θ<270°, what is sin θ?

Answer:

-15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

One method is to use Pythagorean identity.

sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

sin² θ + (-8/17)² = 1

sin² θ + 64/289 = 1

sin² θ = 225/289

sin θ = ±15/17

Since θ is in the third quadrant, sin θ < 0.  So sin θ= -15/17.

Another method is to draw a triangle in the third quadrant, with angle θ, adjacent side -8, and hypotenuse 17.  Use Pythagorean theorem to find the opposite side:

c² = a² + b²

17² = (-8)² + b²

b = -15

Therefore, sin θ = -15/17

100 PTS help all information in pictures below

Answer:

Question 1: 11%

Question 2: 89%

Question 3: 43%

Question 4: 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at picture 1, we need to find the crossing point between -1.2 and 0.05. That has 0.1056, which is the same as 10.56%. 10.56% rounds to 11%, so C is our answer.

Picture 2 has the same chart, but we just need to find the inverse, since the inequality sign is flipped. 100 - 10.56 is 89.44%, which rounds to 89%, so D is the answer for Picture 2.

Picture 3 has two tables. 0.73 has 76.73% and -0.41 has 34.09%. Subtract 34.09% from 76.73% to get 42.64% That rounds to 43%, so A is the answer.

Picture 4 essentially has the same expression as Picture 2 (only the sign has switched): P(z ≥ 1.25). The meeting point is 89.44%. Now, subtract that from 100 to get 10.56%, which rounds to 11%. C is our answer for Picture 4.

I hope this helps you! ^w^
