Answer:

Cot(theta) = - 0.75 or -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is 5

The y value is 4

We need to find the corresponding x value.

x^2 + y^2 = z^2

X = ?

y = 4

z = 5

x^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

x^2 + 16 = 25

x^2 = 9

Now in this case, you are in quadrant 2, so the x value is - 3

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9)

x = - 3

The cot value is the adjacent (x value) / the opposite ( y ) value

Cot(theta) = -3/4

cot(theta) = -0.75

Answer:

cotθ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

sinθ = 4/5

θ is in Quadrant II, so cosθ < 0

<u>Recall:</u>

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ

cos²θ + sin²θ = 1

<u>Determine cosθ:</u>

cosθ = -√(1-sin²θ) = -√(1-(4/5)²) = -√(1-16/25) = -√(9/25) = -3/5

<u />

<u>Determine cotθ:</u>

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ = (-3/5)/(4/5) = (-3/5)(5/4) = -15/20 = -3/4

The functions q and r are defined as follows.<br> HELP PLEASE
dusya [7]

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

First do r(3) by replacing x with 3 in r:

2*3^2 + 2 = 2*9 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20

Then replace r(3) with 20 to do q(20):

-20-2 = -22

Give two ways to write each alegebric expression in words m-9​
dusya [7]

Answer:

m-9

-9+m

Step-by-step explanation:

m-9

The one way is the way it is given in the problem m minus nine

However it can also be written by interchanging the position of each term , but while interchanging we have to carry their sign along with them also.

Hence m can be taken on the left but with its + sign

and 9 can be taken in the right but with its sign that is -

Hence

m-9 can also be written as

-9+m
