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

Mathematics

krok68 [10]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Chef bought 3 3/4 kilograms of apples 7 1/4 kilograms of pears and 10 1/8 kilograms of oranges. How many kilograms of fruit is a
Hatshy [7]

Answer: 21 1/8 kilogram

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Chef bought 3 3/4 kilograms of apples 7 1/4 kilograms of pears and 10 1/8 kilograms of oranges. The total kilogram of fruits bought would be:

= 3 3/4 + 7 1/4 + 10 1/8

Note that the Lowest Common Multiple is 8.

= 3 6/8 + 7 2/8 + 10 1/8

= 20 9/8

= 21 1/8 kilogram

Please help with this question, thank you
Semmy [17]
Remark
The key step is just to subtract 5 from both sides. The pointed of the inequality still points away from the variable and towards the number. As long as that remains true, the correct answer can be found.

Solution
2.7 ≤ b + 5  Subtract 5 from both sides.
2.7 - 5 ≤ b
- 2.3 ≤ b      Write with the variable on the left.
b ≥ - 2.3  <<<< answer

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

- attached graph

- Horizontal Asymptote: y = 5

- twon whole number points are (4,4) and (5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

- Exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote. The equation of the horizontal asymptote

y = -4^(x-4) + 5

  = -4^(4-4) + 5

  = -4^(0) + 5

  = -1 + 5

  = 4

y = -4^(x-4) + 5

  = -4^(5-4) + 5

  = -4^(1) + 5

  = -4 + 5

  = 1

enot [183]

Answer:

4.67 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Shanna is planning a trip from Dallas, Texas, to San Diego, California.

She will travel about = 1,400 miles

The scale of a map is 300 miles = 1 inches

The trip of 1,400 miles = \frac{1400}{300}

                                    = 4.66666 inches ≈ 4.67 inches

Her trip is 4.67 inches far on the map.
