supplement means the sum of the two angles is 180° → y = 180 - x

complement means the sum of the two angles is 90° → y = 90 - x

supplement - 3(complement) = 46

(180 - x) - 3(90 - x) = 46

(180 - x) - 270 + 3x = 46

2x - 90 = 46

2x = 136

x = 68

Answer: 68°

How do I divide a decimal by a decimal?

Luba_88 [7]

For example, 11., 3/3=1 right? But when there is a decimal, add a zero. 21/3=7, so the answer is 107.

Which equation represents the data in the table shown?

inn [45]

Y = mx + c

find the gradient (m)
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
m = -1-1/2-1
m = -2/1
m = -2

we know that the value of c (y-intercept) is 3 because when x=0, y=3

Therefore, the equation is:
y = -2x + 3

The right answer is C

To be an angle in quadrant II such that cos O= -5/8<br> Find the exact values of csc O and cot O.

Dvinal [7]

let's recall that the cosine/adjacent is negative on the II Quadrant, whilst the sine/opposite is positive on that same quadrant, also let's recall that the hypotenuse is never negative, since it's just a radius distance.

$\bf cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{8}}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{8^2-(-5)^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{64-25}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{39}=b\implies \stackrel{II~Quadrant}{+\sqrt{39}=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf csc(\theta )\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{8}}{\stackrel{opposite}{\sqrt{39}}}\implies \cfrac{8}{\sqrt{39}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{39}}{\sqrt{39}}\implies \cfrac{8\sqrt{39}}{39} \\\\\\ cot(\theta )\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-5}}{\stackrel{opposite}{\sqrt{39}}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{\sqrt{39}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{39}}{\sqrt{39}}\implies \cfrac{-5\sqrt{39}}{39}$
