If sin θ = 1 over 3 and tan θ < 0, what is the value of cos θ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexira [117]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

2√2 / 3 (first answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

If tan Ф < 0, then Ф must be in either Quadrant II or Quadrant IV.

If sin Ф = +1/3, then Ф (for this problem) is in Quadrant II.

Remembering that sin Ф = opp / hyp = 1 / 3, we use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the adj side:

adj² + 1² = 3²,  or

adj² + 1 = 9, or    adj² = 8.  Since Ф is in Quadrant II, adj is negative.

The value of cos Ф = adj / hyp = √8 / 3 = 2√2 / 3

Guy wants to swim 500 meters. After 75 meters, he takes a break. What percent of his goal has he already met?
iren2701 [21]
To determine this, we need to set up proportions.
x/100 = 75/500.
A quick way to find x, the percentage we're looking for, is to cross multiply our fractions.
100 x 75 and 500 with x.
75 x100 = 7500, and 500 times x is 500x.
7500=500x
Divide by 500 on each side.
15 = x
Your answer is C.)15%.

Using diagonals from a common vertex, how many triangles could be formed from the polygon pictured below?
Ad libitum [116K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

  3 triangles will be formed.
