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

Find the value of x so that the function has the given value.
nataly862011 [7]

For h(x) = -7x + 10, x =1

For r(x) = 4/5x+ 7 , x = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the value of x on which the functions will have given values, we will put the functions equal to the given values

So,

<u>h(x) = -7x + 10; h(x) = 3</u>

h(x) = -7x+10\\3 = -7x+10\\3-10 = -7x+10-10\\-7 = -7x

Dividing both sides by -7

\frac{-7x}{-7} = \frac{-7}{-7}\\x = 1

<u>r(x) =  4/5x+7; r(x) = -5</u>

r(x) = \frac{4}{5}x +7\\-5 = \frac{4}{5}x +7\\-5-7 = \frac{4}{5}x\\-12 = \frac{4}{5}x\\x = -12 * \frac{5}{4}\\x = -15

<u></u>
