Answer:

The value of SecФ is  \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as for trigonometric function :

tan²Ф = \frac{3}{8}

Or, tanФ = \sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }

∵ tanФ = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

So,  \frac{Perpendicular}{Base} =  \sqrt{\frac{3}{8} }

So, Hypotenuse² = perpendicular² + base²

or, Hypotenuse² = ( \sqrt{3} )² + ( \sqrt{8} )²

Or,  Hypotenuse² = 3 + 8 = 11

Or,  Hypotenuse = ( \sqrt{11} )

Now SecФ = \frac{Hypotenuse}{Base}

or, SecФ = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{8}} = \sqrt{\frac{11}{8} }

<u>Second Method</u>

Sec²Ф - tan²Ф = 1

Or, Sec²Ф = 1 +  tan²Ф

or, Sec²Ф = 1 +  \frac{3}{8}

Or, Sec²Ф = \frac{11}{8}

Or,  SecФ = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}}

Hence The value of SecФ is  \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{8}} . Answer

How many ways can a committee chairman choose 4 people for a subcommittee if there are 12 members on the whole committee?
Marina86 [1]
A group of k elements can be chosen from a group of n elements in \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} ways.

(^{12} _4)=\frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!}=\frac{12!}{4! \times 8!}=\frac{8! \times 9 \times 10 \times 11 \times 12}{2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 8!}=\frac{9 \times 10 \times 11 \times 12}{2 \times 3 \times 4}= \\ \\&#10;=3 \times 5 \times 11 \times 3=495

The answer is B. 495.

please help me with this! this was due yesterday and i need to get it done but im stuck on this question
Paul [167]

Answer:

60* and 30*

Step-by-step explanation:

If two angles are complementary then they will add up to be 90, or inversely, if two angles add up to be 90, then they are complementary. If you know one acute angle, you can calculate its complementary angle by subtracting 90 and the angle.
