Answer:

\sin \theta =\frac{-15}{17}\\cos \theta =\frac{8}{17}\\\tan  \theta =\frac{-15}{8}\\\csc \theta =\frac{-17}{15}\\\sec \theta =\frac{17}{8}\\\cot \theta =\frac{-8}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: (8,-15) is on the terminal ray of angle

To find: All the trigonometric ratios

Solution:

Trigonometry is a  branch of mathematics that explain relationship between the sides and angles of triangles.

If (x, y) lies on the terminal side of  θ  then r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

r=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-15)^2}=\sqrt{64+225}=\sqrt{289}=17 units

\sin \theta =\frac{y}{r}=\frac{-15}{17}\\cos \theta =\frac{x}{r}=\frac{8}{17}\\\tan  \theta =\frac{y}{x}=\frac{-15}{8}\\\csc \theta =\frac{1}{\sin \theta }=\frac{-17}{15}\\\sec \theta =\frac{1}{cos \theta}=\frac{17}{8}\\\cot \theta =\frac{1}{\tan  \theta}=\frac{-8}{15}

Which fraction has a terminating decimal?<br> - 11/19<br> - 4/7<br> - 1/3<br> - 3/150
babunello [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 3/150</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

With the use of a calculator, we see that,

  • 11/19 = 0.57894736842106...., the decimals eventually repeat; but unfortunately my calculator ran out of room to show the repeating portion
  • 4/7 = 0.5714285714285714..., the block "571428" repeats forever
  • 1/3 = 0.333333.... the 3s go on forever
  • 3/150 = 0.02

So 3/150 converts to the terminating decimal 0.02

The word "terminate" means "stop". In the other decimal values, the decimal digits go on forever repeating the patterns mentioned.

----------------------

A non-calculator approach will have us simplify 3/150 into 1/50 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3. Then notice how 50 has the prime factorization of 2*5*5. The fact that the denominator 50 can be factored in terms of only 2's and 5's is enough evidence to conclude that the fraction converts to a terminating decimal.

If the denominator factors into some other primes, other than 2s and 5s, then we don't have a terminating decimal. So that's why 11/19, 4/7 and 1/3 convert to non-terminating decimals.

Getaway Travel Agency surveyed a random sample of 454545 of their clients about their vacation plans. Of the clients surveyed, 2
Simora [160]

Answer:

241 clients

Step-by-step explanation:

His problem can be solved using the principle of proportionality or rule three.

We can take advantage of the proportion between respondents who tell us the number of respondents and how many expect to go on vacation and the total number of workers, therefore:  

                         Respondents /// Whole company

Vacations                  21                          x

Total                          45                        516

then x equals:

x = (516 * 21) / (45)

x = 240.8

x = 241 clients

This means that approximately 241 clients expect to go on vacation throughout the company.

What is the trigonometric ratio for sin Z ?
Schach [20]

In all right triangles, the ratio between a leg and the hypothenuse is the sine of the angle opposite to the leg.

So, in your case, we have

\sin(Z) = \dfrac{XY}{XZ}

In order to find XY, we have

XY = \sqrt{XZ^2-YZ^2} = \sqrt{1600-1024}=\sqrt{576} = 24

So, the ratio for the sine is

\sin(Z) = \dfrac{XY}{XZ} = \dfrac{24}{40} = \dfrac{3}{5}

2 3/8 - 4 1/2 + 3 1/8 - (1/2)
UkoKoshka [18]

let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions firstly.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf \cfrac{19}{8}-\cfrac{9}{2}+\cfrac{25}{8}-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)19-(4)9+(1)25-(4)1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{19-36+25-4}{8} \\\\\\ \cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}
