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

<span>To acquire knowledge, thought is a fundamental necessity -It must be "thought about" before any new ideas can be formulated (e.g., a student who is learning English as a second language must be competent in his primary native language before he can "think" or understand new concepts in another language) -Initial emergence of language and thought are separate from each other, until about the age of 3 when a transition takes place in the child from the external to the internal -Children practice private speech (self-talk) to become more competent ---The use of private speech helps children to self-regulate through organizing, guiding, and controlling their behavior ---Private speech is responsible for all higher levels of mental functioning Noam Chomsky Language Acquisition -Language learning is innate -Chomsky believes that children are prewired to learn language and that infants have a language acquisition device (LAD) built-in neurologically so that they can intuitively understand grammar -There is a critical period when children find it easy to learn language Language development milestones: Infant (0-12 months) -Early vocalizations are spontaneous sounds of cooing (vowels) or crying -Then babbling sounds (phonemes) begin with sounds more like patterned speech with consonant-vowel strings ("da-da-da-da")</span>

What is the measure (in radians) of central angle &amp; in the circle below?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

7pi/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for arc length in radians, we get:

  1. 14pi = 12(theta)
  2. theta = 7pi/6 [divide both sides by 12]

A cafeteria can feed 1/8 of the school in 3 1/2 minutes. How long does it take to feed the school?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

28 minutes

3.5 x 8 = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Feeding the whole school (8/8) would take 8 times as long as feeding 1/8 of the school.

3 1/2 can become 3.5 if that's easier for you to work with.

Feeding 1/8 of the school is 3.5 x 1 = 3.5

Feeding 2/8 of the school is 3.5 x 2 = 7

Feeding 8/8 of the school is 3.5 x 8 = 28

It takes 28 minutes to feed the whole school (8/8)

140 subtracted from the square of a number the result is three times the number find the negative solution
natima [27]

Answer:

Suppose~that~the~number~is~x.\\According~to~question,\\x^2-140=3x\\or, x^2-3x-140=0\\From~the~quadratic~formula,\\x = \frac{-(-3)+\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} ~and ~x= \frac{-(-3)-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-140)} }{2(1)} \\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{9+560} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{9+569} }{2}\\or, x = \frac{3+\sqrt{569} }{2}~and~x=\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}\\So,~the~required~negative~number~is~\frac{3-\sqrt{569} }{2}.
