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

Mrs. Simpson drove 105 miles in 2 1/2 hours. What was Mrs. Simpson's average speed in miles per hour?
harkovskaia [24]
105 m = 2.5 h
 
x miles = 1 hour

You cross multiply since it's a proportion:
2.5 * x
105 * 1

=

2.5x = 105

Then you divide everything by 2.5

The answer is 42

Your car averages 380 miles on a 14-gallon tank of gas. You run out of gas on a deserted highway, but have 1/2 gallon of lawn mo
spin [16.1K]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to solve this, we want to know how many miles can we do in every 1 gallon of gas.

To solve this, we do: 380 / 14 = 27.14 miles for every 1 gallon

Okay, so if we have 1/2 a gallon stashed away, how far can we get on every 1/2 gallon...

To solve this, we do: 27.14 / 2 = 13.57 miles for every 1/2 gallon


So...

The answer is: We will NOT be able to get to the Gas Station that is 15miles away, because we can only go about 13.5 miles with every 1/2 gallon.
