Determine the values of \theta if sec\;\theta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have:

\sec(\theta)=-2/\sqrt{3}

Recall that secant is simply the reciprocal of cosine. So we can:

\cos(\theta)=(\sec(\theta))^{-1}=(-2/\sqrt{3})^{-1}\\\cos(\theta)=-\sqrt{3}/2

Now, recall the unit circle. Since cosine is negative, it must be in Quadrants II and/or III. The numerator is the square root of 3. The denominator is 2. The whole thing is negative. Therefore, this means that 150 or 5π/6 is a candidate. Therefore, due to reference angles, 180+30=210 or 7π/6 is also a candidate.

Therefore, the possible values for theta is

5π/6 +2nπ

and

7π/6 + 2nπ

Evaluate h-2g for h = 4 and g = 32.
IRISSAK [1]

We have a subtraction between two terms: h and 2g. Let's see the value of each term:

h is 4, it's already given.

2g means twice g, and g is 32. So, 2g is 64

So, the subtraction is

4-64 = -60

sweet [91]

Answer:

Part A. I chose points (7,1.3) and (48,9.8)

Part B. a. Positive correlation; b.  y = 0.21x - 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

I chose the first and last points on the line — (7 in, 1.3 lb) and (48 in, 9.8 lb).

That put three points on the line, three above it, and four below.

Part B

a. Type of correlation

There is a positive correlation between the length of a puppy and its weight.

You would expect a longer dog to be bigger and weigh more than a shorter dog.

b.  The equation for the line of best fit

The slope-intercept equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The line passes through the points (7,1.3) and (48, 9.8).

(i) Calculate the slope of the line

\begin{array}{rcl}

m & = & \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{9.8 - 1.3}{48-9}\\\\& = & \dfrac{8.5}{41}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.21 lb/in}\\\\\end{array}

The slope of the line is 0.21 lb/in.

(ii) Locate the y-intercept

Put the slope and the coordinates of one point into the slope-intercept formula.

\begin{array}{rcl}y & = & mx + b\\1.3 & = & 0.21\times7 + b\\1.3 & = & 1.47 + b\\b & = & -0.2\\\end{array}

The y-intercept is at (0,-0.2)

(iii) Write the equation for the line

y = 0.21x - 0.2

Hey there!

This is the formula:

V=πr²h

V=π(7)²5

V=49π5

V=245π

V≈769.7 ft³(cubic feet)

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

marshall27 [118]
[-2 3] times [2
                    1] 

comes out to -2(2)+3(1) = -1.  Eliminate the first answer choice, due to 
                                                 the presence of that -7 instead of -1.

[-2 3] times [0
                    -3]

comes out to - 9.  This matches answer choices #2, #3 and #4.

[3,-4][2
           1]

comes out to 6-4, or 2.  Matches #2, #3, #4.


[3, -4][0
           -3]

comes out to +12, which matches answer choice #4.

Answer choice #4 is the correct one.

Review matrix multiplication if need be.  Feel free to ask questions here and now if need be.
