Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When working with negative numbers in terms of depth, greater depth are depicted by values as we move farther to the left of the number line.

With this in mind, - 75 feets is farther to the left of the number line and as such represents a greater depth value Than - 68 feets

Therefore, when expressing depth or elevation distances, the values should be iewwd in absolute terms. Then |75| > |68|. While bearing in mind that depth is downward and thus negative

Evaluate the six trigonometric functions of the angle 0.

Arturiano [62]

Given:

Right triangle

To find:

The six trigonometric functions of θ

Solution:

Hypotenuse = 18

Adjacent side to θ = 10

Opposite side to θ = ?

Using Pythagoras theorem:

$\text {Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{adjacent}^2+\text{opposite}^2$

$18^2 =10^2+\text{opposite}^2$

$324=100+\text{opposite}^2$

Subtract 100 from both sides.

$224=\text{opposite}^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$4\sqrt{14}=\text{opposite}$

Using trigonometric ratio formula:

$$\sin\theta =\frac{\text{opposite }}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

$$\sin\theta =\frac{4\sqrt{14} }{18}$

$$\csc\theta =\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite }}$

$$\csc\theta =\frac{18}{4\sqrt{14} }$

$$\cos \theta=\frac{\text { adjacent side }}{\text { hypotenuse }}$

$$\cos \theta=\frac{10}{18}$

$$\sec \theta=\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { adjacent side }}$

$$\sec \theta=\frac{18 }{10}$

$$\tan \theta=\frac{\text { opposite side }}{\text { adjacent side }}$

$$\tan \theta=\frac{4\sqrt{14} }{10}$

$$\cot \theta=\frac{\text { adjacent side }}{\text { opposite side }}$

$$\cot \theta=\frac{10}{4\sqrt{14} }$

A company has 8 mechanics and 6 electricians. If an employee is selected at random, what is the probability that they are an ele

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Electrician = 6

Mechanic = 8

Required

Determine the probability of selecting an electrician

First, we need the total number of employees;

$Total = n(Electrician) + n(Mechanic)$

$Total = 6 + 8$

$Total = 14$

Next, is to determine the required probability using the following formula;

$Probability = \frac{n(Electrician)}{Total}$

$Probability = \frac{6}{14}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

$Probability = \frac{3}{7}$

<em>Hence, the probability of selecting an electrician is 3/7</em>

Answer:

The answer is "The discriminant is positive"

Step-by-step explanation:

When the discriminant is positive there is two real solutions.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one real solution.

When the discriminant is negative, there is no real number solutions.

What binomial must he added to (3r+14) to make the sum of the two polynomials equal (8r-6)

rodikova [14]

Answer:

(5r - 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

(3r + 14) + (Ar + B) = (8r - 6)

B = -6 - 14 = -20

A = 8 - 3 = 5
