If tan theta is -1, we know immediately that theta is in either Quadrant II or Q IV. We need to focus on Q IV due to the restrictions on theta.

Because tan theta is -1, the ray representing theta makes a 45 degree angle with the horiz axis, and a 45 degree angle with the negative vert. axis. Thus the hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem, tells us that the hyp is sqrt(2).
Thus, the cosine of theta is adj / hyp, or +1 / sqrt(2), or [sqrt(2)]/2

The secant of theta is the reciprocal of that, and thus is

2 sqrt(2)
---------- * ------------ = sqrt(2) (answer)

A jar has 570 marbles of different colors.The ratio of red to blue marbles are 2:3 and red to green is 4:5.how many marbles of e

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of red marbles, y be the number of blue marbles and z be the number of green marbles.

It is given that the total marbles = 570.

Therefore, x + y + z = 570 --- (1)

It is also given that the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2 : 3.

Therefore, x : y = 2 : 3

or 3x = 2y --- (2)

It is also given that the ratio of red to green marbles is 4 : 5.

Therefore, x : z = 4 : 5

or 5x = 4z --- (3)

From (2), $y=\frac{3x}{2}$

From (3), $z=\frac{5x}{4}$

Substituting the above in (1), we get,

$x+\frac{3x}{2} +\frac{5x}{4} =570$

Multiply both sides by 4.

4x + 6x + 5x = 2280

15x = 2280

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 152

Hence,

y = $\frac{3(152)}{2}$

y = 228

z = $\frac{5(152)}{4}$

z = 190

Therefore,

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

<u>Check:</u>

Total number of marbles = 152 + 228 + 190 = 570

Ratio of red to blue marbles = 152 : 228 = 2 : 3

Ratio of red t green marbles = 152 : 190 = 4 : 5
