I think your answer is qt
The anwser is either 2.88 or 3, But others are saying it is 3.
Hi there! In this problem, you should have the knowledge of three basic Trigonometric Ratio.
- sinA = opposite/hypotenuse
- cosA = adjacent/hypotenuse
- tanA = opposite/adjacent
Now that we know three basic ratio. Let's check each choices!
This choice is wrong because we focus on the 50° angle. When we focus on 50°, sin50° should be d/x and not d/c.
This choice is also wrong because in ratio, it's cos50° that adjacent/hypotenuse.
This choice is correct! As ratio states, tanA = opposite/adjacent.
This choice is wrong. x/c is a reciprocal of cosine which is 1/cos. We call the reciprocal of cosine as secant or sec in short.
This choice is wrong as x/d is a reciprocal of sine which is 1/sin. We call the reciprocal of sine as cosecant or cosec/csc in short.
This choice is right by the ratio. Nothing really much to explain since we follow by ratio that is defined.
Answer
Questions can be asked through comment.
Furthermore, tan also has its reciprocal form itself which is called cotangent also known as cot in short.
Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)
we are given

Here,
y is the number of gallons of water in the pool
x is the number of minutes the truck has been filing the pool
now, we will verify each options
option-A:
When x=1
then y=19.75
so, for 1 minute , number gallons =19.75
so, this is FALSE
option-B:
Since, we have

It is similar to equation of line
y=mx+b
But b=0
It means that it passes through origin
so, this is TRUE
option-C:

we can compare it with
y=mx
where m is the rate
so, we get

while we are given
the water in swimming pool increase about 100 gallons by every 5 minutes
so, we get rate as
gallons per minute
this is close to 19.75
so, they are approximately equal
so, this is TRUE
option-d:
x-value and y-value will show relationship
and ratio will always be constant or equivalent
because it has linear relationship
so, this is TRUE
option-e:
We need to check
(8,150) ..so, x=8 and y=150
we can plug this in our equation
and we get


Since, left side is not equal to right side
so, this can not be point
so, this is FALSE
