If sinX = 0.6, and X is in Quadrant II, then what is the value of cosX?

Mathematics

Answer:

cos(x)= -0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If sinX = 0.6, and X is in Quadrant II,

sin(x)= 0.6 = 6/10

sin (x)= opposite side / hypotenuse

opposite side = 6 and hypotenuse = 10

use Pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

10^2 = 6^2 +b^2

100 = 36 + b^2

Subtract 36 from both sides

64= b^2

b= 8

Adjacent side = 8

Cos(x)= adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos(x)= 8/10= 0.8

Cos is negative in second quadrant

so cos(x)= -0.8

To calculate for cos X given that sin X=0.6 and is in Quadrant we proceed as follows:
sin X=0.6
Thus implies that:
x=arcsin 0.6
x=36.97
given that X is in the Quadrant ii then the value of x will be:
180-36.97
=143.13
hence cos X will be:
cos X=cos 143.13
cos X=-0.8

write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (-1,1) and (7,-5)
gladu [14]
Find midpoint of segment.
(-1,1), (7,-5)
x= \frac{-1+7}{2}=3,y= \frac{1+(-5)}{2}=-2

Find slope of line which passes through (-1,1) and (7,-5).
m= \frac{-5-1}{7-(-1)}= \frac{-6}{8}=- \frac{3}{4}

The slope of perpendicular line is negative reciprocal value of m.
m_{\perp}=- \frac{1}{m} =- \frac{1}{- \frac{3}{4} } = \frac{4}{3}

Write quation of line which slope is \frac{4}{3} and passes throug the point (3,-2).
m=\frac{4}{3},x_1=3,y_1=-2
\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\\
\\y-(-2)=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)
\\
\\y+2=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}
\\
\\3y+6=4x-8
\\4x-3y-14=0

A gas pump fills 2^-2 gallon of gasoline per second. how many gallons does the pump fill in one minute?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given that a gas pump fills 2^-2 gallon of gasoline per second.

As there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

Thus,

Gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be:

60\:\times 2^{-2}

=60\times \frac{1}{2^2}             ∵ a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \:a\times \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\:\times \:b}{c}

=\frac{1\times \:60}{2^2}

=\frac{60}{2^2}

=\frac{2^2\times \:3\times \:5}{2^2}

=3\times \:5

=15 gallons in one minute

Therefore, the gas pump filling the gallons in 1 minute will be: 15

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers <br> y= ?x+ ?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is 3 because rise over run. Rise is 3 and run is 1. 3/1 is 3. and b= y-intercept and the poiunt wehre the line intercepts the y axis is 3. so your answer is y=3x+3
