Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

j=k+4

k=3r

j=3r+4

j+k+r=46

3r+4+3r+r=46

7r+4=46

7r=42

r=6, since k=3r

k=18, since j=k+4

j=22

j,k,r=22,18,6

Find the exact value of csc theta if tan theta = sqrt3 and the terminal side of theta is in Quadrant III.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3rd option

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the identities

cot x = $\frac{1}{tanx}$

csc² x = 1 + cot² x

Given

tanθ = $\sqrt{3}$ , then cotθ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

csc²θ = 1 + ( $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ )² = 1 + $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$

cscθ = ± $\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} }$ = ± $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }$

Since θ is in 3rd quadrant, then cscθ < 0

cscθ = - $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }$ × $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} }$ = - $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$

The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking.assume

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt where d is the distance t is the time and r is the constant of proportionality

d = 18t

Changing 10 minutes to hours

10 minutes * 1 hours / 60 minute = 1/6 hour

d = 18 * 1/6 hour

d = 3 meters

Express x in terms of a and b: b−7x=a−b

pav-90 [236]

B - 7x = a - b
Subtract b from both sides.

-7x = a - 2b
Divide both sides by -7.

x = $\frac{-a + 2b}{7}$
