Cos(theta)=-0.96 <0
=>
theta is either in the 2nd or third quadrant.

cos(theta)=-0.96
=>
sec(theta)=1/cos(theta)=-1/0.96   <0

Given sec(theta)(sin(theta)>0
=> cos(theta)sin(theta)>0
=> cos(theta) and sin(theta) have the same sign, 
=> sin(theta)<0 
=>
theta is in the third quadrant. => tan(theta)>0

Given cos(theta)=-0.96
=>
|sin(theta)|=sqrt(1-(-0.96)^2)=sqrt(0.0784)=0.28 
=> sin(theta)=-0.28

Finally, 
tan(theta)=sin(theta)/cos(theta)=-0.28/-0.96
=7/24 
=0.29167 (to the fifth decimal place)

Which infinite geometric series can you NOT find the sum?
Oksanka [162]

Answer: C) 127, 152.4, 182.88, 219.456,...

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only find the sum of an infinite geometric sequence if it converges.

One criterion to see if the series converges is if:

aₙ < aₙ₋₁

This means that, as n increases, the value of the terms decreases.

This means that as n tends to infinity, aₙ tends to zero.

Then we only can find the sum of those series where the terms are decreasing.

in A, B and D the terms are decreasing, then we can find the sum of those 3 series.

Now in the case of C, the terms are increasing, then we can not find the sum of that series.

The graph of a sinusoidal function intersects its midline at (0,5) and then has a maximum point at (\pi,6)
lesya692 [45]
First, let's use the given information to determine the function's amplitude, midline, and period. 

Then, we should determine whether to use a sine or a cosine function, based on the point where x=0.

Finally, we should determine the parameters of the function's formula by considering all the above.
     
                      Determining the amplitude, midline, and period 

The midline intersection is at y=5 so this is the midline. 

The maximum point is 1 unit above the midline, so the amplitude is 1. 

The maximum point is π units to the right of the midline intersection, so the period is 4 * π.
 
                            Determining the type of function to use 

Since the graph intersects its midline at x=0, we should use thesine function and not the cosine function. 

This means there's no horizontal shift, so the function is of the form -

a sin(bx)+d

Since the midline intersection at x=0 is followed by a maximumpoint, we know that a > 0.

The amplitude is 1, so |a| = 1. Since a >0 we can conclude that a=1. 

The midline is y=5, so d=5. 

The period is 4π so b = 2π / 4π = 1/2 simplified. 

f(x) = 1 sin ( \dfrac{1}{2}x)+5   <span>= Solution </span>

Suppose x and y vary together such that x is 7 times as large as y. write a formula that defines x in terms of y.
Ainat [17]
Since y is less than x by 7 times \frac{x}{7}=y so in terms of x we write
x=7y

bill gets $0.05 for each can $0.20 for each glass bottle he returns to the recycling center yesterday he returned 32 cans and 10
solmaris [256]
32 x 0.05 ( because there are are 32 cans that are worth 5 cents each ) = 160 cents ($1.60)

Then:

10 x 0.20 ( 10 bottles that are worth 20 cents each ) = $2

Then plus them together

Answer = $3.60
