$\text{Given that,}\\\\\sin \theta = -\dfrac{12}{13}\\\\\implies \sin^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies 1- \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = 1- \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{25}{169}\\\\\implies \cos \theta = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{169}} = \pm \dfrac 5{13}\\\\\\\text{Since,}~ \tan \theta >0,\\\\\cos \theta =- \dfrac{5}{13}$

Officer Brimberry wrote 32 tickets for traffic violations last week, but only 12 tickets this week. What is the percent decrease

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

62.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract 32-12, which equals 20

then divide 20 by the original amount (20/32)

20/32= .625, then you have to multiply to get the final answer...hope this helped!
