Answer:

The value of cosine is \cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an angle θ with the point (−20, −21) on its terminating side.

It means the right angle triangle is formed in third quadrant where length of the perpendicular is 21 and the base is 20.

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2

hypotenuse^2=(20)^2+(21)^2

hypotenuse^2=400+441

hypotenuse^2=841

Taking square root both the sides.

hypotenuse=\sqrt{841}

hypotenuse=29

In a right angled triangle,

\cos \theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse}

\cos \theta=\frac{20}{29}

θ lie in the third quadrant and cosine is negative in third quadrant.

\cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}

Therefore the value of cosine is \cos \theta=-\frac{20}{29}.

Cos(θ) = -20/√((-20)^2 +(-21)^2)
.. = -20/-√841 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . θ is a 4th-quadrant angle, so cos(θ) > 0
.. = 20/29

The value of the cosine is 20/29.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How to write numbers in standard form:

Write the first number 8.

Add a decimal point after it: 8.

Now count the number of digits after 8. There are 13 digits.

So, in standard form: 81 900 000 000 000 is 8.19 × 10¹³

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, -1) and has a slope of 3/5 ? Put your answer in slope-intercept form.
Verizon [17]

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept.

In this problem,

m = 3/5

b = ?

So far y = 3/5x + b

Let's plug the point (-3, -1) into our slope equation.

-1 = 3/5(-3) + b

Simplify the right side.

-1 = -9/5 + b

Add 9/5 to both sides.

4/5 = b

The equation is: y = 3/5x + 4/5

Answer choice A is correct.

A family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Car 1 : 40 miles per gallon

Car 2: 25 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The second car consumed 25 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1475 miles and the sum of their fuel efficiency was 65 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiency of each of the cars that week

Given that :

Fuel efficiency , car 1 = x

Fuel efficiency , car 2 = y

x + y = 65 - - (1)

15x + 35y = 1475 - - - (2)

x = 65 - y

15(65-y) + 35y

975 - 15y + 35y = 1475

20y = 14875 - 975

20y = 500

y = 25

Put y = 25 in (1)

x + y = 65

x + 25 = 65

x = 65 - 25

x = 40
