_______________


\mathsf{tan\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{4}\qquad\qquad(sin\,\theta\ \textgreater \ 0)}\\\\\\
\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,\theta}{cos\,\theta}=\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{4\,sin\,\theta=cos\,\theta\qquad\quad(i)}


Square both sides:

\mathsf{(4\,sin\,\theta)^2=(cos\,\theta)^2}\\\\
\mathsf{4^2\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=cos^2\,\theta\qquad\qquad(but,~cos^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta)}\\\\
\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta=1-sin^2\,\theta}

\mathsf{16\,sin^2\,\theta+sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{17\,sin^2\,\theta=1}\\\\
\mathsf{sin^2\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{17}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{17}}}\\\\\\
\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\pm\,\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}}


Since \mathsf{sin\,\theta} is positive, you can discard the negative sign. So,

\mathsf{sin\,\theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}


Substitute this value back into \mathsf{(i)} to find \mathsf{cos\,\theta:}

\mathsf{4\cdot \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{17}}=cos\,\theta}\\\\\\
\mathsf{cos\,\theta=\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{17}}\qquad\quad\checkmark}


I hope this helps. =)

jada is using a computer’s random number generator to produce 6 random whole numbers between 1 and 100 so she can use a random s
nikdorinn [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

The random numbers are selected randomly. Just because they happen to be 6 numbers in a row does not mean that they were not. If she is confident in the random number generator, which can be assumed, then the random numbers were still randomly selected and can be used. To regenerate would be a mistake because Jada is then picking and choosing which random numbers are chosen, defeating the purpose of a random number generator

Identify the range of the fuction shown in the graph
Viefleur [7K]

The answer would be B. -2 < x < 2 because if you look at the graph, the range would be left and right. So, the farthest to the left would be -2 and the farthest to the right would be 2.

It wouldn't be all real numbers.

How do I find the average rate between two points?
Ksenya-84 [330]
The average rate between two points is calculated the same way you would calculate the slope of a line (rise/run).

= 60/5
= 12
