Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

There are three reciprocal trigonometric functions

making a total of six including cosine, sine, and tangent.

→The reciprocal cosine function is secant: sec(Ф)=1/cos(Ф).

→The reciprocal sine function is cosecant, csc(Ф)=1/sin(Ф).

→The reciprocal tangent function is cotangent, expressed two ways: cot(Ф)=1/tan(Ф) or cot(Ф)=cos(Ф)/sin(Ф).

We've already learned the basic trig ratios:

sin(A) = a/c

cos(B) = b/c

tan(C) = a/b

   

But there are three more ratios to think about:

→Instead of  a/c, we can consider c/a  

​→Instead of  b/c, we can consider c/b  

→Instead of  a/b, we can consider b/a  

These new ratios are the reciprocal trigonometric ratios, and we’re about to learn their names.

<u>The cosecant (csc)</u>

The <u>cosecant</u> is the reciprocal of the sine. It is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side opposite a given angle in a right triangle.

sin(A) = opp / hyp  = a/c

csc(A) = hyp / opp = c/a

<u>The secant (sec)</u>

The <u>secant </u>is the reciprocal of the cosine. It is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side adjacent to a given angle in a right triangle.

cos(A) = adj/hyp = b/c

sec(A) = hyp/adj = c/b  

<u>The cotangent (cot)</u>

The <u>cotangent </u>is the reciprocal of the tangent. It is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle.

tan(A) = opp/adj = a/b

cot(A) =adj/opp = b/c

Mrs. Zabel, the yearbook adviser, always likes to sell a large amount of yearbooks because after the initial set-up costs are pa
mart [117]
(50,45)(125,37.50)
slope(m) = (37.50 - 45) / (125 - 50) = -7.5/75 = -0.1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.1
(50,45)...x = 50 and y = 45
now we sub and find b, the y int
45 = -0.1(50) + b
45 = - 5 + b
45 + 5 = b
50 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.1x + 50

so it the staff sells 150 yearbooks...
y = -0.1x + 50
y = -0.1(150) + 50
y = -15 + 50
y =  35 <== price per yearbook
