You have to equal out each side to fine the value of the variable.

hope this helped!!!

leva [86]

Hey if you like my answer please give me the brainliest answer :)

Ok so we have a ratio of 1:3 here. (1 is for the hour of tv and 3 is for hours of homework)

3 can go into 15 (hours of homework last week) 5 times. That means we must multiply 3 by 5 to get 15 so that we can fit the ratio to last week. Because we did that, we have to multiply 1 by 5 as well.

1 × 5 = 5 hours of homework!

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ if csc(θ) = -6 and cos(θ) is positive

VikaD [51]

Now, the cosecant of θ is -6, or namely -6/1.

however, the cosecant is really the hypotenuse/opposite, but the hypotenuse is never negative, since is just a distance unit from the center of the circle, so in the fraction -6/1, the negative must be the 1, or 6/-1 then.

we know the cosine is positive, and we know the opposite side is -1, or negative, the only happens in the IV quadrant, so θ is in the IV quadrant, now

$\bf csc(\theta)=-6\implies csc(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}
\\\\\\
\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\pm\sqrt{6^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{35}=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{+\sqrt{35}=a}$

recall that

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}
\\\\\\
% cosecant
csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}
\qquad \qquad 
% secant
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}$

therefore, let's just plug that on the remaining ones,

$\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{6}
\qquad\qquad 
cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{6}
\\\\\\
% tangent
tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}
\qquad \qquad 
% cotangent
cot(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{1}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}$

now, let's rationalize the denominator on tangent and secant,

$\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{35}
\\\\\\
sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{35}$

Marcia made spiral books to sell at her local craft fair. She forgot to count how many she made before the fair. She knows that

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

B) 0.60n+1.48n = 176.80

Step-by-step explanation:

0.60 for every spiral wire per book = 0.60*n

0.74 per chipboard cover, 2 needed for each book = 1.48 per book = 1.48*n

Put it together: 0.60n+1.48n = 176.80

AysviL [449]

Answer: Swing twice as fast

Explanation: If superman wants to get a lot of kinetic energy he should swing fast. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion/movement so that means the more you do something fast the more KE you will get and if you do something twice as fast then you will gain more kinetic energy.
