Question

1. Given that cosθ≈0.646 where θ is in quadrant IV, find the values of sinθ and tanθ to the nearest thousandth

Answer 1

Answer:

d.) sinθ=0.763; tanθ=1.181

c. 21/x=9/x−4; Terran walks at 4 miles per hour and runs at 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

θ is in the IV quadrant (All is positive) that is sin, cos and tan are all positive.

Cosθ = 0.646

Θ = Cos^-1(0.646)

θ = 49.75930

Hence,

Tanθ = tan(49.75930) = 1.1816365 = 1.182

Sinθ = sin(49.75930) = 0.7633373 = 0.763

2.)

Let

Walking rate = x mph

Running rate = x + 4 mph

21 miles run time = 9 miles walk time

Recall :

Time = distance / speed or rate

21 / (x + 4) = 9 / x

Cross multiply :

21 * x = 9(x + 4)

21x = 9x + 36

21x - 9x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36 /12

x = 4 mph = walking rate

Running rate = x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 mph
