first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!

Find sin theta if cot theta =-4 and cos theta < 0
asambeis [7]
Imagine the unit circle. The cot(theta) is a line from (0,1) to (-4,1). Imagine it is part of a triangle with the origin (draw it!).

Then the hypotenuse length is √(1+4²) = √17.

The sine rule says that sin(90)/√17 must equal sin(theta)/4, and sin(90)=1, so

sin(\theta) = \frac4{\sqrt{17}}
