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

Answer:

cotθ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

sinθ = 4/5

θ is in Quadrant II, so cosθ < 0

Recall:

cotθ = cosθ/sinθ

cos²θ + sin²θ = 1

Determine cosθ:

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

Determine cotθ:

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

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

$p_{5} (t) = x^{5} - 5\cdot x^{4} + 3\cdot x^{3} +9\cdot x^{2}$ , for $r_{1} = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of quintic-order polynomial is:

$p_{5}(t) = a\cdot x^{5} + b\cdot x^{4} + c\cdot x^{3} + d\cdot x^{2} + e \cdot x + f$

According to the statement of the problem, the polynomial has the following roots:

$p_{5} (t) = (x - r_{1})\cdot (x-3)^{2}\cdot x^{2} \cdot (x+1)$

Then, some algebraic handling is done to expand the polynomial:

$p_{5} (t) = (x - r_{1}) \cdot (x^{3}-6\cdot x^{2}+9\cdot x) \cdot (x+1)\\p_{5} (t) = (x - r_{1}) \cdot (x^{4}-5\cdot x^{3} + 3 \cdot x^{2} + 9 \cdot x)$

$p_{5} (t) = x^{5} - (5+r_{1})\cdot x^{4} + (3 + 5\cdot r_{1})\cdot x^{3} +(9-3\cdot r_{1})\cdot x^{2} - 9 \cdot r_{1}\cdot x$

If $r_{1} = 0$ , then:

$p_{5} (t) = x^{5} - 5\cdot x^{4} + 3\cdot x^{3} +9\cdot x^{2}$
