If sin theta is negative and cot theta is positive, in which quadrant does theta terminate?

Mathematics

krok68 [10]3 years ago

All you need to know is that:

  • In the first quadrant, both coordinates are positive
  • In the second quadrant, x is negative and y is positive
  • In the third quadrant, both coordinates are negative
  • In the fourth quadrant, x is positive and y is negative
  • The sine is the y coordinate of the points on the unit circle
  • The cosine is the x coordinate of the points on the unit circle
  • The cotangent function is defined as the ration between the cosine and the sine of an angle.

So, if sin theta is negative and cot theta is positive, you're saying that you're looking at a point with negative y coordinate and such that

\dfrac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}>0

The ratio of two numbers is positive if and only if they have the same sign, so the cosine must by negative as well.

Saying that an angle has negative sine and cosine is the same as saying that the angle identifies a point on the unit circle where both x and y coordinates are negative.

So, if you look at the bullet list at the beginning, you'll see that the point is in the third quadrant.

What two numbers add to 9 and multiply to negative 11
fiasKO [112]
The two numbers are (9+ 5√5)/2 and (9- 5√5)/2.

(9+ 5√5)/2+ (9- 5√5)/2= 9
(9+ 5√5)/2* (9- 5√5)/2= -11

Hope this helps~

Find the volume of given prism round to the nearest tenth necessary.
atroni [7]
First, find the area of the base (the triangle) and then multiply it by the height

to find the area of the triangle you need to know the height. cut the triangle in half and you get a right triangle, from there you can use the Pythagorean theorem. remember since you cut the triangle in half you have to divide one of the sides by 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2              (plug in known information)
a^2 + (7.5)^2 = (15)^2      (solve, first solve the exponents)
a^2 + 56.25 = 225         (subtract 56.25 on both sides)
a^2 = 168.75                    (solve for a, put 168.75 under the square root)

then once you find the area multiply by the known height

Classify each of the following as rational or irrational:
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Rational:-5, 2/3, 0.5, sqrt 16

Irrational: sqrt 11, pi

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number which can be represented as a ratio or fraction and whose decimal is terminating or repeating. This includes all whole numbers positive and negative too.

Ex. -5, 2/3, 0.5, sqrt 16

An irrational number is a number that CANNOT be represented as a ratio or fraction and whose decimal is NOT terminating or repeating. These often include square roots and numbers like pi.

Ex. sqrt 11, pi
