What is the value of cot840°

Mathematics
2 answers:
Alchen [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

cot 840° = \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must bring the value of 840° down to a value less than 90°.

To do that, we have to consider how many full rotations 840° is on the coordinate plane.

Start by dividing by 360°, since that is one full rotation.

840°/360°=2 R.120

So now we know that 840° is 120° extra, and therefore, the two calues will be equal.

So, cot840°, will be the same as cot120°

But now we need to make 120° a value less than 90°. So we can divide by 90°

120°/90°, and you get 1 R.30°

So now we also know that cot120° = cot 30°

Using your trigonometric table, we see that cot 30° = \sqrt{3}

Hope this helped

Answer:

cot840=cot(180×5-60)=cot(-60)since cot is negative in second quadrant

cot(-60)=1/(tan(-30))=1/(-1/√3)=-√3

WILL GIVE BRAINIEST!!! Polygon ABCDE is shown on the coordinate grid. What is the perimeter, to the nearest hundredth of a unit,
Georgia [21]

The perimeter of polygon ABCDE is 20.31 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; First we plot points A, B, C, D and E on the graph. Coordinates are A (-3, 2), B (1, 2), C (3, -1), D(0, -3) and E (-4, -3). We need to find the distance between the 5 sides of the polygon i.e AB, BC, CD, DE, and AE.

Step 2; The sides AB and AE can be measured directly as they are horizontal lines. The x coordinate for A is -3 while for B it is 1, so distance is 1-(-3) = 4 units. The x coordinate for E is -4 while for D it is 0, so the distance is 0- (-4) = 4 units.

Step 3; To find the distances of BC, CD, and AE we use the formula

Distance = √ (x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)².

Distance between B (1, 2) and C (3, -1) where B is (x1, y1) and C is (x2, y2).

Distance = √(3 - 1)² + (-1 -2)² = √4 + 9 = √13 = 3.605 units.

Distance between C (3, -1) and D (0, -3) where C is (x1, y1) and D is (x2, y2).

Distance = √(0 -3)² + (-3 -(-1))² = √9 + 4 = √13 = 3.605 units.

Distance between A (-3, 2) and E (-4, -3) where D is (x1, y1) and E is (x2, y2).

Distance = √(-4 -(-3))² + (-3 -2)² = √1 + 25 = √26 = 5.099 units.

Step 2; The parameter of this polygon is given by summing the lengths of the 4 sides.

Parameter = AB + BC + CD + DE + AE = 4 + 3.605 + 3.605 + 4 + 5.099 = 20.309 units. This is rounded off to 20.31 units.

If a lineman can install 12 insulators in 183/4 hours, how many insulators should he be able to install in 281/8 hours?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

12 insulators = 183/4 hours

x = 281/8

x × 183/4 = 12 ×281/ 8

183x/4 = 6 × 281/4

183x / 4 = 1686 / 4

4 cancel out 4

183x = 1686

Divide bothside by 183

x = 1686/183

x= 9.21311

x = 9 approximately.

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. Thi
Mariana [72]

Answer:

a. Mean: 9.5.

Standard deviation: 2.18.

b. The critical value for signficantly low girl births is 5.14.

The critical value for signficantly high girl births is 13.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If we take a sample of 19 births, all with individual probability of 0.5, we have a random binomial variable with n=19 and p=0.5.

This random variable will have mean and standard deviation calculated as:

\mu=n\cdot p=19\cdot0.5=9.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{19\cdot0.5\cdpot0.5}=\sqrt{4.75}=2.18

b) Range rule of thumb: The standard deviation is approximately a quarter of the range, difference between the maximum and minimum value.

The range rule of thumb tells us that the expected minimum and maximum value are 2 standards deviation below or above, respectively, from the mean.

Then, the extreme expected values are:

Min=\mu-2\sigma=9.5-2\cdot2.18=9.5-4.36=5.14\\\\Max=\mu+2\sigma=9.5+2\cdot2.18=9.5+4.36=13.86

The critical value for signficantly low girl births is 5.14.

The critical value for signficantly high girl births is 13.86.

Aunt bess uses 3 cups of oatmeal to bake 6 dozen cookies how many cups of oatmeal will she need to bake 18 dozen cookies
Andrei [34K]
There are several important information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Number of cups of Oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 6 dozen cookies = 3
Then
Number of cups of oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 1 dozen cookies = (3/6)
                                                                                  = 1/2
So
Number of cups of oatmeal
required by Aunt Bess for making 18 dozen cookies = (1/2) * 18
                                                                                     = 9 cups
So Aunt Bess will require 9 cups of oatmeal for baking 18 dozen cookies. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to undestand.
