C. is the answer.
The modulus or absolute value function of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign.
The only correct option is C. because 15 is indeed greater than 12.
Options A., B., D. and E. are wrong.

If cos(θ)=2853 with θin Q IV, what is sin(θ)?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: $\sin \theta=\frac{-45}{53}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\cos\theta=\frac{28}{53}$

And we know that θ is in the Fourth Quadrant.

So, Except cosθ and sec θ, all trigonometric ratios will be negative.

As we know the "Trigonometric Identity":

$\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1\\\\\sin \theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\\\\\sin \theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{28}{53})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{53^2-28^2}{53^2}}\\\\\sin \theta=\sqrt{\frac{2025}{53^2}}\\\\\sin \theta=\frac{45}{53}$

It must be negative due to its presence in Fourth quadrant.

Hence, $\sin \theta=\frac{-45}{53}$

what is the 18th term in an arithmetic sequence with the first term equal to 6 and the constant difference equalto 17?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer: The 18th term is 295.

Step-by-step explanation: By using the arithmetic sequence formula:

a(n): nth term

a(1): first term

n: term position

d: common/constant difference

a(n) = a(1) + (n - 1)d

You should get an equation of a(n) = 6+(18 - 1)17. By following the order of operations, you should receive an 18th term of 295.
