Given tanj=5/12 find cosg

Given tan g = 5/12,  find cos g:

                  5
tan g  =  ———
                 12

The tangent function is, by definition, the quotient between sine and cosine:

   sin g           5
————  =  ———
  cos g          12

Product of them extremes  =  product of the means

12 · sin g = 5 · cos g

Square both sides:

(12 · sin g)² = (5 · cos g)²

12² · sin² g = 5² · cos² g

144 · sin² g = 25 · cos² g

But  sin² g = 1 – cos² g.  Substitute it for  sin² g  into the equation above, and you have

144 · (1 – cos² g) = 25 · cos² g

Multiply out the brackets, and then isolate cos² g:

144 – 144 · cos² g = 25 · cos² g

144 = 25 · cos² g + 144 · cos² g

144 = 169 · cos² g

Divide both sides by 169:

                  144
cos² g  =  ———
                  169

                   12²
cos² g  =  ———
                   13²

cos² g = (12/13)²

Now, take the square root of both sides:

cos g = ± √(12/13)²
 
                    12
cos g = ±  ———
                    13

The sign of  cos g  depends on which quadrant the angle  g  lies. As  tan g = 5/12,  which is positive, then  g  lies either in the 1st or the 3rd quadrant:

•  If g lies in the 1st quadrant, then

                                               5
cos g > 0     ⇒    cos g  =  ———          ✔
                                              13

•  If g lies in the 3rd quadrant, then

                                                   5
cos g < 0     ⇒    cos g  =  –  ———          ✔
                                                  13


I hope this helps. =)

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ASAP AND SHOW WORK PLEASE

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A: f(x)=8x-2

1. Switch the f(x) to y

y=8x-2

2. Switch y to x and x to y

x=8y-2

3. Solve for y:

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

1. Add 2 to both sides.

 x=8y-2

+2     +2

2. Divide both sides by 8.

x+2=8y

---     ---

8       8

1/8x+1/4=y

3. Write in f-inverse form

f^-1(x)=1/8x+1/4  

B: g(x)=2/3x+6

1. Switch the g(x) to y

y=2/3x+6

2. Switch y to x and x to y

x=2/3y+6

3. Solve for y:

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

1. Subtract 6 from both sides.

x=2/3y+6

-6        -6

2. Multiply both sides by 3/2 (to cancel out the 2/3)

x-6=2/3y

2/3x-4=y

3. Write in f-inverse form

g^1(x)=2/3x-4

C: h(x)-4x-12

1. Switch the h(x) to y

y=-4x-12

2. Switch y to x and x to y

x=-4y-12

3. Solve for y:

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

1. Add 12 to both sides.

x=-4y-12

+12    +12

2. Divide both sides by -4

x+12=-4y

------    ---

-4        -4

-1/4x-3=y

3. Write in h-inverse form

h^2(x)=-1/4/x-3
