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

Find the surface area of the composite figure​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

=280 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

Let's find the surface area of the pink rectangular prism first.

2*10=20+20=40

4*10=40+40=80

4*2=8+8=16

40+80+16=136

The surface area for the pink rectangular prism is 136 in^2.

-------------------->>>>>

Now, let's find the surface area of the green rectangular prism.

4*7=28+28=56

4*7=28+28=56

4*4=16+16=32

56+56+32=144

The surface area for the green rectangular prism is 144 in^2.

-------------------->>>>>

Now let's add the surface area of both rectangular prisms to find the surface area of the composite figure.

136+144=

=280 in^2

----------------------------------------

Hope this is helpful.

Answer:

  A.  7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your factored equation is something like ...

  h(t) = -16t(t -7)(t +2)

The time it takes the ball to reach the ground is the positive value of t that makes a factor zero:

  t -7 = 0   ⇒   t = 7

The ball will land on the ground in 7 seconds.
