Answer:

cot\theta=-\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the point (5,-12) lies on the terminal side of an angle theta in standard position.

We have to find the exact value of cot\theta.

Let

Point (x,y)=(5,-12)

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Substitute the values

r=\sqrt{5^2+(-12)^2}

r=\sqrt{169}=13

We know that

cot\theta=\frac{x}{y}

Using values

cot\theta=-\frac{5}{12}

If sin theta =1/4, theta in quadrant II, find the exact value of cos[theta +pi/6]
Mashcka [7]
Using cos addition formula:
use x for theta
cos(x+π/6)=cosx*cos(π/6)-sinx*sin(π/6)
sinx=1/4
cosx=√15/4
cos(π/6)=√3/2
sin(π/6)=1/2
cos(x+π/6)=(√15/4*√3/2)-(1/4*1/2)
cos(x+π/6)=(√45/8)-(1/8 )
cos(x+π/6)=(√45-1)/8)

PLEASE HELP

First, we find x using the given equation:
x = 4 / sin(53)
x = 5

We also know that:
Cos(∅) = base / hypotenuse
Therefore,
cos(53°) = y / 5

2. Solve the<br> triangle.<br> a = 12, b = 22, C = 95°
djyliett [7]

this is the answer to this question - Two weather tracking stations are on the equator 146 miles apart. A weather balloon is located on a bearing of N 35°E from the western station and on a bearing of N 23°E from the eastern station. How far is the balloon from the western station?

Answer:

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Distance between the two stations = 146 miles

Location of the weather balloon from the Western station = N35°E

Location of the weather balloon from the Eastern station = N23°E

The location of the station = On the equator

Required:

The distance of the balloon from the Western station

Solution:

- The angle formed between the horizontal, and the line from the Western station

to the balloon = 90° - 35° = 55°

- The angle formed between the horizontal, and the line from the Eastern station

to the balloon = 90° + 23° = 113°

The angle at the vertex of the triangle formed by the balloon and the two stations is 180° - (55 + 113)° = 12°

By sine rule,

Distance from balloon to western station = 146/sin(12 dg) = Distance from balloon to western station/sin(113 dg)

Therefore;

Distance from balloon to western station = 146/sin(12 dg) x sin(113 dg) ~ 646.4
