If sin=2/3 and tan is less than 0, what is the value of cos

Mathematics

Sonbull [250]3 years ago
4 0

tangent is less than 0 or tan(θ) < 0, is another way to say tan(θ) is negative, well, that only happens on the II Quadrant and IV Quadrant, where sine and cosine are different signs, so we know θ is on the II or IV Quadrant.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{2}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{3}}\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{3^2-2^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{5}=a\implies \stackrel{\textit{II Quadrant}}{-\sqrt{5}=a} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-\sqrt{5}}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{3}}~\hfill

2a + 2b = c for b<br> Solve for b
Leokris [45]

2a + 2b = c

Subtract 2a from both sides

2b = -2a + c

Divide both sides by 2

b = -a + (c/2)

What fraction of 20 is 18?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Remark

You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.

One way you could write it would be

20 * x = 18 where x is  the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.

Divide both sides by 20

20/20 * x = 18/20

\text{x = } \dfrac{18}{20}

But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.

18: 2 * 3 * 3

20: 2 * 2 *5

Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.

You are left with

\text{x = } \dfrac{18}{20} =\dfrac{2*3*3}{2*2*5}=\dfrac{3*3}{2*5} = \dfrac{9}{10} <<<< Answer
