Let θ be an angle in quadrant IV such that sinθ = -2/5 . Find the exact values of secθ and tanθ.

1 answer:

8 0

If θ lies in the fourth quadrant, then sin(θ) < 0 and cos(θ) > 0. So we have from the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1 ==> cos(θ) = +√(1 - sin²(θ)) = √21/5

Then

sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ) = 5/√21

and

tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) = (-2/5)/(√21/5) = -2/√21

The following figure is made of six semicircles with the same diameter, and of four congruent equilateral triangles represented

Oxana [17]

6 semicircles = 3 circles

The formula of the area of a equilateral triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}$

We have a = |AE| = 3cm. Substitute:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{3^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}\ cm^2$

The formula of the area of a circle:

$A_O=\pi r^2$

We have 2r = |AE| =3cm → r = 1.5cm. Substitute:

$A_O=\pi\cdot1.5^2=2.25\pi\ cm^2$

The area of the figure:

$A=4A_\triangle+3A_O\\\\A=4\cdot\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}+3\cdot2.25\pi=9\sqrt3+6.75\pi=6\dfrac{3}{4}\pi+9\sqrt3\\\\=\dfrac{27}{4}\pi+\dfrac{36\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{9}{4}\cdot3\pi+\dfrac{9}{4}\cdot4\sqrt3=\dfrac{9}{4}(3\pi+4\sqrt3)\ cm^2$

Answer:

8640

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 2.4 hours, And 1 hour is 60 minutes, and 1 minute has 60 seconds, so 1 hour has 3600 seconds, Do one more hour and you have 7200 seconds, Now you need to add another .4 hours, .4 hours is equal to 40 minutes, so how many seconds are in 40 minutes? 1440 seconds are in 40 minutes, so add 7200 and 1440 and you get 8640.

The table shows the balance of a money market account over time. Write a function that represents the balance y (in dollars) aft

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

y = 200·1.15^t

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio from one year to the next is 1.15, so the balance is a geometric sequence. Since t starts at zero, we can write the balance (y) after t years as ...

y = initial value · (common ratio)^t

y = 200·1.15^t
