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)

Choose the function that represents the data in the table.
viva [34]

y = 2 {x}^{2}  - 3

\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{cyan}{Explanation thing:}

Using hit and trial, you van find it pretty easily-

  • Putting x=0, we get y=-3
  • Putting x=1, we get y=-1
  • Putting x=2, we get y=5

You can try it for yourself as well, for me, I couldn't find any other option appropriate.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

7.8655

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functionl

U=Ax^3+Bx^2-cx+D

Where,

A=1.45J/m^3\\B=2.85J/m^2\\c= 1.7J/m\\D=0.6J

We have, replacing,

U=1.45x^3+2.85x^2-1.7x+0.6

We need to derivate and verify for stable equilibrum that,

\frac{d^2 U}{dx^2}>0

Then,

U'(x) = 4.32x^2+5.7x-1.7

Roots in,

x_1=-1.57008\\x_2=0.250636

We obtain U"(x), then we have

\frac{d^2U}{dx}=8.64x+5.7

For x=-1.57, U"(x)=-7.86549 Unestable

For x=0.250636 U"(x)=7.8655>0 Stable
