Answer:

i) sin(2x) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

ii) cot(x+360) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

iii) sin(x-180) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x) = 2

Since cos(x) is reciprocal of sec(x), this means:

cos(x) = \frac{1}{2}

cosec(x) is negative , this means sin(x) is also negative. The only quadrant where cos(x), sec(x) are positive and sin(x), cosec(x) are negative is the 4th quadrant. Hence the terminal arm of the angle x is in 4th quadrant.

Part i)

sin(2x) can be simplified as:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

First we need to find the value of sin(x). According to Pythagorean identity:

sin^{2}(x)=1-cos^{2}(x)\\\\ sin(x)=\pm \sqrt{1-cos^{2}(x)}

Since, angle is in 4th quadrant, sin(x) will be negative. So considering the negative value of sin(x) and substituting the value of cos(x), we get:

sin(x)=- \sqrt{1-cos^{2}(x)}\\\\ sin(x)=-\sqrt{1-(\frac{1}{2})^{2}}\\\\ sin(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

So,

sin(2x)=2 \times -\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\ sin(2x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Part ii)

We have to find cot(x + 360)

An addition of 360 degrees to the angle brings it back to the same terminal point. So the trigonometric ratios of the original angle and new angle after adding 360 or any multiple of 360 stay the same. i.e.

cot(x + 360) = cot(x)

cot(x) = \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}\\

Using the values, we get:

cot(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }\\\\ cot(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

Part iii)

We need to find the value of sin(x - 180)

sin(x - 180) = - sin(x)

Addition or subtraction of 180 degrees changes the angle by 2 quadrants. The sign of sin(x) becomes opposite if the angle jumps by 2 quadrants. For example, sin(x) is positive in 1st quadrant and negative in 3rd quadrant.

So,

sin(x - 180) = -(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

2. Brian is filling a conic container with water. He has the container half full. The radius of the container is 5 inches and th
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

current volume of the water = 785.714 in²

Height of new container = 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the container = 5 inches

Height of the container = 20 inches

Volume of the container = πR²H = (22/7) × 5² × 20 = 1571.428571428 in²

Since the container is half filled with water, volume of the water = 1571.428571428 ÷ 2 = 785.714 in²

b. Volume of cylinder = πR²H = volume of water from first container = 785.714 in²

Hence 785.714 = (22/7) × 5² × H

H = (785.714) ÷ [(22/7) × 25] = 10 inches

Height of new container = 10 inches

Determine the intercepts of the line.<br> y-6= 4( + 5)<br> y-intercept:<br> z-intercept
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

  1. (0, 26)
  2. (-6.5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the equation into slope-intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

y - 6 = 4(x + 5)

y - 6 = 4x + 20

y = 4x + 26

We know that b = y-intercept for the y-intercept is 26.

Substitute 0 for y to find the x intercept.

0 = 4x + 26

-26 = 4x

-6.5 = x

Best of Luck!
