Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratios as fractions, that is

$\frac{a}{b}$ = $\frac{3}{1}$ ( cross- multiply )

a = 3b

$\frac{b}{c}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

c = 5b

------------------------------------------

Given

$\frac{2a+3b}{4b+3c}$ , substitute values from above for a and c

= $\frac{2(3b)+3b}{4b+3(5b)}$

= $\frac{6b+3b}{4b+15b}$

= $\frac{9b}{19b}$ ← cancel b on numerator/ denominator

= $\frac{9}{19}$ → B

Answer:

70° , 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles are corresponding and are congruent, then

23x + 1 = 4 + 22x ( subtract 22x from both sides )

x + 1 = 4 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = 3

Then the angles are

23x + 1 = 23(3) + 1 = 69 + 1 = 70°

4 + 22x = 4 + 22(3) = 4 + 66 = 70°

Let O be an angle in quadrant III such that cos 0 = -2/5 Find the exact values of csco and tan 0.

vivado [14]

well, we know that θ is in the III Quadrant, where the sine is negative and the cosine is negative as well, or if you wish, where "x" as well as "y" are both negative, now, the hypotenuse or radius of the circle is just a distance amount, so is never negative, so in the equation of cos(θ) = - (2/5), the negative must be the adjacent side, thus

$cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-2}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{5}}\qquad \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \pm\sqrt{5^2 - (-2)^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{25-4}\implies \pm\sqrt{21}=b\implies \stackrel{III~Quadrant}{-\sqrt{21}=b}$

$\dotfill\\\\ csc(\theta)\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}{\underset{opposite}{-\sqrt{21}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rationalizing the denominator}}{-\cfrac{5}{\sqrt{21}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{\sqrt{21}}\implies -\cfrac{5\sqrt{21}}{21}} \\\\\\ tan(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-\sqrt{21}}}{\underset{adjacent}{-2}}\implies tan(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{21}}{2}$
