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

What is 18 divided by 2/3?
pishuonlain [190]
Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3=\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times  \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27

Johnny invested $1000 in savings account that yields 2% interest annually. How much will Johnny's investment be worth in 10 year
Ann [662]
Calculate the interest in a year
Multiply the annual percentage of interest by the investment to find the interest.
interest in a year = 2% × 1,000
interest in a year = 0.02 × 1,000
interest in a year = 20
The annual interest is $20

Calculate the interest after 10 years
Multiply the annual interest by 10
interest 10 years = 20 × 10
interest 10 years = 200
The sum of interest after 10 years is $200

Find total investment
investment = first investment + interest in 10 years
investment = 1,000 + 200
investment = 1,200

The investment will be worth $1,200 in 10 years

How to find domain and range of a parabola?
german
The domain is the value of x, the range is the value of y.
A parabola opens infinitely to the right and left, so x can be any number, the domain is all real numbers
Vertically, however, a parabola opens only one way, either upward or downward. when it opens upward from a a certain level, say, the lower point (the vertex) has a y coordinate of 2, we say the range is all real numbers larger than or equal to 2, or y≥2. When it opens downward, we say the range is all real numbers smaller or equal to 2, y≤2

Round off 7284 to 1sf​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

7000

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you round to the significant figure, you basically look at any digits at the start of the number, which isn't zero. In this case, it would be in the thousands place 7284. So you round 7284 to the nearest thousands, which, would be 7000
