Given tanx=8/15 when pi < x < 3pi/2, find tan x/2.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

$tan(x/2)=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The angle x belong to the III quadrant -----> given problem

step 1

Find the angle x

$x=arctan(8/15)=28.07\°$

Remember that the angle x belong to the III Quadrant

so

$x=28.07\°+180\°=208.07\°$

step 2

Find angle x/2

$x/2=208.07\°/2=104.035\°$

step 3

Find tan(x/2)

$tan(104.035\°)=-4$

A recipe requires sugar, flour and cocoa in the ratio 5:4:1

WARRIOR [948]

Let x be the amount of cocoa you use in the recipe.

then 4x is the amount of flour used, and 5x is the amount sugar used.

x+4x+5x= 550g
10x=550g
x=55g

So, you use 55g of cocoa, 220g of flour, and 275g of sugar.

hope this helps! :)

Find the y-intercept of the line who's equation is Y = 3.5 x- 0.4.

agasfer [191]

$\sf y=mx+b$

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

so that means that the y-intercept of

$\sf y=3.5x + .4$

is $\sf .4$

$\bf{\huge{\boxed{y-intercept = .4}}}$
