Starting from the fundamental trigonometric equation, we have

\cos^2(\alpha)+\sin^2(\alpha)=1 \iff \sin(\alpha)=\pm\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}

Since 180, we know that the angle lies in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine are negative. So, in this specific case, we have

\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}

Plugging the numbers, we have

\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=-\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=-\dfrac{15}{17}

Now, just recall that

\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)

to deduce

\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)=-\left(-\dfrac{15}{17}\right)=\dfrac{15}{17}

Answer:

15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite² = 17² - 8²

opposite² = 225

opposite = 15

sin a = - 15/17

(sin is -ve in the third quadrant)

sin(-X) = -sinX

sin(-a) = -sin(a)

= -(-15/17)

= 15/17

RoseWind [281]

Both tanji & kenji have same number of circles i.e. 50 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , tanji creates a "square, circle" repeating pattern. Kenji creates a "Square, circle, triangle, circle" repeating pattern. if both tanji and kenji have 100 shapes in their patterns,  . We need to find that which pattern contains more circles .Let's find out :

<u>tanji creates a "square, circle" </u>

it's given that tanji has 100 shapes and he is repeating this pattern . In this pattern circle comes 1 every time out of 2 shapes :

Total number of times circle = \frac{100}{2}(1)

Total number of times circle = 50

<u>Kenji creates a "Square, circle, triangle, circle" </u>

it's given that tanji has 100 shapes and he is repeating this pattern . In this pattern circle comes 2 every time out of 4 shapes :

Total number of times circle = \frac{100}{4}(2)

Total number of times circle = 50

Both tanji & kenji have same number of circles i.e. 50 .

Feliz [49]

Answer: high test-retest reliability

Step-by-step explanation: this is because the result of the survey was thesame with the previous result, despite the space of time between when the first survey was conducted and when the second survey was conducted. There was know observable difference in result and if conducted in the next 3 months again, it will give same result, this strongly indicate that the survey has high test-retest reliability.

Put the equation in standard form.<br><br> y - 1 = -1/3 (x - 6)
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x + 3y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Given

y - 1 = - \frac{1}{3}(x - 6)

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

3y - 3 = - (x - 6) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

3y - 3 = - x + 6 ( add x to both sides )

x + 3y - 3 = 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

x + 3y = 9 ← in standard form
