If tan 0=5/4, calculate the value of cos 0

                     5
If  tan θ  =  —— , calculate the value of  cos θ:
                     4


Recall the definition of the tangent function:

                 sin θ
tan θ  =  ————
                cos θ
 
  5           sin θ
——  =  ————
  4          cos θ

Cross multiply:

5 · cos θ = 4 · sin θ

Square both sides:

(5 · cos θ)² = (4 · sin θ)²

5² · cos² θ = 4² · sin² θ

25 · cos² θ = 16 · sin² θ

But  sin² θ = 1 – cos² θ.  Substitute that for  sin² θ  into the equation above, then you get

25 · cos² θ = 16 · (1 – cos² θ)

25 · cos² θ = 16 – 16 · cos² θ

Isolate  cos² θ:

25 · cos² θ + 16 · cos² θ = 16

(25 + 16) · cos² θ = 16

41 · cos² θ = 16
 
                    16
cos² θ  =  ———
                    41

                      4²
cos² θ  =  ————
                  (√41)²

Take square root of both sides:
 
                       4
cos θ  =  ±  ———
                    √41

                       4                                    4
cos θ  =  –  ———     or     cos θ  =  ———          ✔
                     √41                               √41


The sign of  cos θ  depends on which quadrant  θ  lies. Since you first have a positive value for  tan θ, then that means  θ  lies either in the  1st  or the  3rd quadrant.

•  If  θ  is a  1st  quadrant angle, then

cos θ > 0
 
                   4
cos θ  =  ———          ✔
                 √41

•  If  θ  is a  3rd  quadrant angle, then

cos θ < 0
 
                       4
cos θ  =  –  ———          ✔
                     √41


I hope this helps. =)

Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given data is: 71, 67, 67, 17, 69, 84, 21, 87

  • Arranging in ascending order we find: 17, 21, 67, 67, 69, 71, 84, 87

  • Here N = 8 (Even number)

  • N/2 = 4 and N/2 + 1 = 5

  • 4th term = 67, 5th term = 69

  • -> median = Sum of 4th and 5th term/2 = (67 + 69)/2 = 132/2 = 66

  • Now, when one of the 67 is replaced by 71, the new data set in ascending order will be: 17, 21, 67, 69, 71, 71, 84, 87

  • Here, 4th term = 69, 5th term = 71

  • New median = (69 + 71)/2 = 140/2 = 70

  • -> new median > initial median

CONCLUSION: Median will increase if the number 71 replaced one of the 67's in the set.

Let us consider the image on the left that is the image in which 1 and 2 , 3 and 4 are connected as image 1 and the other as image 2.

1. All Vertices are connected by the least amount of edges. True

2. Vertex 1 and 2 are not connected. This is false for image

1 and true for image 2

3.  Vertex 3 and 4 are not connected. This is false for image

1 and true for image 2

4. You can get to Vertex 1 from Vertex 4 by going through Vertex 3. This is true for image 1
