                     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. =)

Amy began with $25 in her bank account and spend
never [62]

Answer:

y=-5x+25

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of days

y ----> the amount of money in  her bank account

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

The slope is equal to

m=-5\ \$/day ----> is negative because is a decreasing function

b=\$25 ----> initial amount in the account bank

substitute

y=-5x+25

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Help pls thank you!!!!
Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You would plug in the value given for x into the function given.

\frac{1}{3}(18) + 10

Type that into a calculator and this would give you the output, which would be the value for Y.

The value for Y is 16.

Hope this helps.

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−14, 4) and (−2, 0), what is the standard form equation of the circle?
stiks02 [169]
First calculate the  radius  = 1/2 the diameter =  [sqrt  sqr160(4-0)^2 + (-14-(-2))^2] / 2

=  (sqrt 160 ) / 2  so r^2 =  160 /4  = 40

center = midpoint of the diameter  = (-14-2)/ 2  ,    (4+0)/2  =  (-8, 2)

so required equation is  (x + 8)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 40

Answer:

  5n -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Try n=1 in each expression and see which gives you a first term of 2.

  2-5n = 2-5·1 = -3

  2n -5 = 2·1 -5 = -3

  5n -3 = 5·1 -3 = 2 . . . . . this is the expression you want

  5n +2 = 5·1 +2 = 7

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

For a common difference of 5, <em>the coefficient of n must be 5</em>. The second answer choice fails on that count also.
