If cos(x)=1/4 what is sin(x) and tan(x)

Mathematics

You can use the identity
  cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.

  (1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
  sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
  sin(x) = ±(√15)/4


Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
  tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
  tan(x) = ±√15


There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
  sin(x) = (√15)/4
  tan(x) = √15

In the fourth quadrant:
  sin(x) = -(√15)/4
  tan(x) = -√15

NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=24

y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smaller number

y=larger number

x+12=y         x/2=y/3

                   x/2=(x+12)/3

cross multiply and distribute

                   3x=2x+24

                   x=24

24+12=y

y=36
