Answer:

sin(t) =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition we know that

sec(t) = \frac{1}{cos(t)}

and

cos ^ 2(t) = 1-sin ^ 2(t)

As sec(t) = -\frac{4}{3}

Then

sec(t) = -\frac{4}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{cos(t)} =-\frac{4}{3}\\\\cos(t) = -\frac{3}{4}

Now square both sides of the equation:

cos^2(t) = (-\frac{3}{4})^2

cos^2(t) = \frac{9}{16}\\\\

1-sin^2(t) =\frac{9}{16}\\\\sin^2(t) =1-\frac{9}{16}\\\\sin^2(t) =\frac{7}{16}\\\\sin(t) =\±\sqrt{\frac{7}{16}}

In the second quadrant sin (t) is positive. Then we take the positive root

sin(t) =\sqrt{\frac{7}{16}}

sin(t) =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}

Hey there!

There's multiple ways to express this problem, but I like to do ratios, so we'll go with that. If you prefer fractions, the first number of a ratio is the same as the numerator of a fraction and the second number is the same as the denominator. 

The ratio of this problem is 4:448. This basically means there will be 448 miles per 4 inches. This ratio can be simplified by dividing by 4 to make it 1:112. Applying the same logic, there are 112 miles per inch. 

112 miles per 1 inch should be your answer. Hope this helped you out! :-)

Select the postulate that proves this fact.
zysi [14]
Given that if G and H are different points in plane R, then a third point exists in R not on GH.

In other words, it means we have three non-linear points say G, H, I (not on the same line) where these three points make a triangle i.e. ΔGHI and this triangle is on plane R.

Only one postulate can prove this fact that is:-

Postulate 1a: A plane contains at least three points not all on one line.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: b=13, t=29

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the first equation into the second,

2b+2+b=41\\\\3b+2=41\\\\3b=39\\\\b=13\\\\\implies t=2(13)+2=29
