To find the common ratio, divide the second term by the first term

-10 / 2 = -5

to find each term in a geometric sequence, u multiply by the common ratio.....
2 * -5 = -10
-10 * -5 = 50
50 * -5 = - 250 <== ur next term

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ if csc(θ) = -6 and cos(θ) is positive
VikaD [51]
Now, the cosecant of θ is -6, or namely -6/1.

however, the cosecant is really the hypotenuse/opposite, but the hypotenuse is never negative, since is just a distance unit from the center of the circle, so in the fraction -6/1, the negative must be the 1, or 6/-1 then.

we know the cosine is positive, and we know the opposite side is -1, or negative, the only happens in the IV quadrant, so θ is in the IV quadrant, now

\bf csc(\theta)=-6\implies csc(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\pm\sqrt{6^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{35}=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{+\sqrt{35}=a}

recall that 

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}&#10;\qquad\qquad &#10;cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% cotangent&#10;cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% cosecant&#10;csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% secant&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

therefore, let's just plug that on the remaining ones,

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{6}&#10;\qquad\qquad &#10;cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{6}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% cotangent&#10;cot(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}

now, let's rationalize the denominator on tangent and secant,

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{35}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{35}

-6 &lt; 2t - 5 &lt; 3<br> Solve for T
natulia [17]

Answer:

I think it's 7

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 < 2T (-5+5) < 3+5

-6 < 2T < 8

+6 < 2T < 8 + 6

0 < 2T < 14

0 < ÷ 2 < ÷ 2

0 < T < 7

-0 < T < -0

T = 7
