Answer:

sin(θ)=√7/4

tan(θ)= - √7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2= √(4^2-(-3^2))

c^2= √(16-9)

c^2= √7

sin(θ)= opp/hyp=√7/4

tan(θ)= (opp )/adj= - √7/3

How I was taught all of these problems is in terms of r, x, and y. Where sin = y/r, cos = x/r, tan = y/x, csc = r/y, sec = r/x, cot = x/y. That is how I will designate all of the specific pieces in each problem.

#3

Let's start with sin here. \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} Therefore, because sin is y/r, r = \sqrt{5} and y = +2. Moving over to cot, which is x/y, x = -1, and y = 2. We know y has to be positive because it is positive in our given value of sin. Now, to find cos, we have to do x/r.

cos = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{-\sqrt{5}}{5}

#4

Let's start with secant here. Secant is r/x, where r (the length value/hypotenuse) cannot be negative. So, r = 9 and x = -7. Moving over to tan, x must still equal -7, and y = 4\sqrt{2}. Now, to find csc, we have to do r/y.

csc = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{2}} = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{8}

The pythagorean identities are

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1,

1 + cot^2 = csc^2,

tan^2 + 1 = sec^2.

#5

Let's take a look at the information given here. We know that cos = -3/4, and sin (the y value), must be greater than 0. To find sin, we can use the first pythagorean identity.

sin^2 + (-3/4)^2 = 1

sin^2 + 9/16 = 1

sin^2 = 7/16

sin = \sqrt{7/16} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}

Now to find tan using a pythagorean identity, we'll first need to find sec. sec is the inverse/reciprocal of cos, so therefore sec = -4/3. Now, we can use the third trigonometric identity to find tan, just as we did for sin. And, since we know that our y value is positive, and our x value is negative, tan will be negative.

tan^2 + 1 = (-4/3)^2

tan^2 + 1 = 16/9

tan^2 = 7/9

tan = -\sqrt{7/9} = \frac{-\sqrt{7}}{3}

#6

Let's take a look at the information given here. If we know that csc is negative, then our y value must also be negative (r will never be negative). So, if cot must be positive, then our x value must also be negative (a negative divided by a negative makes a positive). Let's use the second pythagorean identity to solve for cot.

1 + cot^2 = (\frac{-\sqrt{6}}{2})^{2}

1 + cot^2 = 6/4

cot^2 = 2/4

cot = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

tan = \sqrt{2}

Next, we can use the third trigonometric identity to solve for sec. Remember that we can get tan from cot, and cos from sec. And, from what we determined in the beginning, sec/cos will be negative.

(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}})^2 + 1 = sec^2

4/2 + 1 = sec^2

2 + 1 = sec^2

sec^2 = 3

sec = -\sqrt{3}

cos = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}

Hope this helps!! :)

After 3.5 hours, Patrick had traveled 217 miles. If he travels at a constant speed, how far will he have traveled after 4 hours
Ede4ka [16]
Answer: He would have traveled 248 miles

Explanation: This is a ratio

To find how many miles he would have traveled after 4 hours, we need to apply the information givin into a ration table

(We can put miles on the top and hours on the bottom)

217 ?
------- ------
3.5 4

Now, we can do two things:
1. cross multiply
we would take 217 times 4 (868) and divide that by 3.5 (248)

2. Divide the top and bottom by 3.5 (numerator= 62 denominator= 1)
multiply 62 by 4 to get 248

Hope this helps!

What is the next term of the geometric sequence?<br> −128/27,32/9,−8/3,?
Rudik [331]

2

Step-by-step explanation:

common ratio(r)=-3/4

a2÷a1=r

32/9÷-128/27=-3/4

therefore using the common ratio to find the fourth term is just by multiplying the third term -8/3 by the common ratio -3/4

which equals = 2
