Is sin theta=5/6, what are the values of cos theta and tan theta?

Mathematics

mina [271]2 years ago

let's bear in mind that sin(θ) in this case is positive, that happens only in the I and II Quadrants, where the cosine/adjacent are positive and negative respectively.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{6^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{36-25}\implies \pm \sqrt{11}=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{\pm\sqrt{11}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}} \\\\\\ tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{\pm\sqrt{11}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{and rationalizing the denominator}~\hfill }{tan(\theta )=\pm\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{11}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{11}}\implies tan(\theta )=\pm\cfrac{5\sqrt{11}}{11}}

Which set of three numbers could represent the lengths of the sides of a right triangle?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Answer=5,12,13

Just plug all of these values into the pythagorean theorem. If they work, then they could represent a right triangle.

For example:
5²+12²=13²
25+144=169
169=169

AB passes through A(-3, 0) and B(-6, 5). What is the equation of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to AB ?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

3y + 5x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (5-0)/(-6-(-3))

= 5 / -3 = -5/3

Using the point-slope form , the line that passes through the origin and parallel to this line is

y - 0 = -5/3(x - 0)

y = -5/3 x

Multiply through by 3:-

3y = -5x

5x + 3y = 0
