The ratio a:b is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the ratio a:b means the fraction a/b.

So we will have to solve the given equation for a/b

Given

$8a=3b$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8a}{8}=\frac{3b}{8}\\a=\frac{3b}{8}$

Dividing both sides by b

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3b}{8*b}\\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{3}{8}$

The ratio a:b is 3:8

The line with equation a + 4b = 0 coincides with the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position and cos θ>0 . What is t

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$\frac{-1}{\sqrt{17} }$

Step-by-step explanation

We have given that equation of line a+4b=0

⇒4b= -a

⇒ $b= \frac{-a}{4}$

slope of line = $tan\theta =\frac{P}{B}= \frac{-1}{4}$

⇒ $tan\theta$ is negative therefore it lies into 4th quadrant

By, Pythagoras theorem $H^2=P^2+B^2$

by putting value of P= -1 & B=4

the value of $H=\sqrt{17}$

with the given condition $cos\theta>0$

i.e. $\theta$ ∈ (3π/2, 2π)

now, $sin\theta= \frac{P}{H}= \frac{-1}{\sqrt{17}}$
