What is the value of cosθ given that (−2, −3) is a point on the terminal side of θ ?

Answer:

-0.555

Step-by-step explanation:

The terminal point of the vector in this problem is

(-2,-3)

So, it is in the 3rd quadrant.

We want to find the angle \theta that gives the direction of this vector.

We can write the components of the vector along the x- and y- direction as:

v_x = -2\\v_y = -3

The tangent of the angle will be equal to the ratio between the y-component and the x-component, so:

tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}=\frac{-3}{-2}=1.5\\\theta=tan^{-1}(1.5)=56.3^{\circ}

However, since we are in the 3rd quadrant, the actual angle is:

\theta=180^{\circ} + 56.3^{\circ} = 236.3^{\circ}

So now we can find the cosine of the angle, which will be negative:

cos \theta = cos(236.3^{\circ})=-0.555

Factorize the following algebraic expression:
Hoochie [10]
X^2+16-38=0
find what 2 numbers multiply to get -38 and add to get 16
find factors of 38
2 times 19
there is no way to use common factor so use quadratic formula which is
x=\frac{ -b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or x=\frac{ -b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

ax^2+bx+c=0 subsitte
a=1
b=16
c=-38
subsitute
\frac{ -16+\sqrt{16^2-4(1)(-38)} }{2(1)}=\frac{ -16+\sqrt{256+152} }{2}= \frac{ -16+\sqrt{408} }{2}= \frac{ -16+2\sqrt{102} }{2}=-8+\sqrt{102}
so the answers for x are -8+\sqrt{102} and -8-\sqrt{102}  which are aprox -2.099504938362 and +18.099504938362
so it would be
(x-[-8+√102])(x+[8+√102])=0
