How can the Pythagorean Identity be used to find sin θ, cos θ, or tan θ and the quadrant location of the angle?

First lets see the pythagorean identities

sin^2 \Theta + cos^2 \Theta =1

So if we have to solve for sin theta , first we move cos theta to left side and then take square root to both sides, that is

sin^2 \Theta = 1-cos^2 \Theta => sin \theta = \pm \sqrt{1-cos^2 \Theta}

Now we need to check the sign of sin theta

First we have to remember the sign of sin, cos , tan in the quadrants. In first quadrant , all are positive. In second quadrant, only sin and cosine are positive. In third quadrant , only tan and cot are positive and in the last quadrant , only cos and sec are positive.

So if theta is in second quadrant, then we have to positive sign but if theta is in third or fourth quadrant, then we have to use negative sign .

In a pen of goats and chickens, there are 40 heads and 150 feet. How many goats and chickens are in the pen?
s2008m [1.1K]

Hey there!!

A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet

For heads, total = 40

Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '

x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )

2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )

Multiply the first equation with 2

2x + 2y = 80

2x + 4y = 150

Subtract the first equation from the first

2y = 70

y = 35

Number of goats = 35

substitute this in other equation

x + y = 40

x + 35 = 40

x = 5

Number of chickens are 4

Hope it helps!

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeee
avanturin [10]
I believe your answer is going to be increasing linear. If it's doubling constantly then it's increasing so that takes out 2 options. And since it's constant, it isn't exponential, therefore you only have increasing linear left.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
