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

Solve the system of equations by substitution.<br> y = 8<br> X – 2y + 3z = 3<br> 3x + 3y – 2z = 15
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Solving systems of equations with 3 variables is very similar to how we solve systems with two variables. When we had two variables we reduced the system down

to one with only one variable (by substitution or addition). With three variables

we will reduce the system down to one with two variables (usually by addition),

which we can then solve by either addition or substitution.

To reduce from three variables down to two it is very important to keep the work

organized. We will use addition with two equations to eliminate one variable.

This new equation we will call (A). Then we will use a different pair of equations

and use addition to eliminate the same variable. This second new equation we

will call (B). Once we have done this we will have two equations (A) and (B)

with the same two variables that we can solve using either method. This is shown

in the following examples.

Example 1.

3x +2y − z = − 1

− 2x − 2y +3z = 5 We will eliminate y using two different pairs of equations

5x +2y − z = 3
