Find the exact value of sec theta if csc theta = -4/3 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant III

Mathematics
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-4 sqrt(7)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

csc theta = -4/3

csc theta = hypotenuse / opposite side

hypotenuse = 4  

opposite  = 3

Using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + b^2 = 4^2

9+b^2 = 16

b^2 = 16-9

b^2 = 7

Taking the square root

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(7)

b = sqrt(7)

We are in the third quadrant so only tan  and cot are positive

that means the x and y values are "negative"  so a = -3 and b = - sqrt(7)

sec theta = hypotenuse / adjacent

                = 4/ - sqrt(7)

rationalizing  

                   -4 sqrt(7)/ sqrt(7)* sqrt(7)

                = -4 sqrt(7)/7

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions to follow.<br><br> Find a, b and c
Feliz [49]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Using trigonometric ratio, find b:

Reference angle = 45

opposite = 8

Hypotenuse = b

Thus,

Sin(45) = 8/b

b = 8/sin(45)

b = 8/(1/√2) (sin 45 = 1/√2)

b = 8 × √2/1

b = 8√2

✔️Find a using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = 60°

Hypotenuse = b = 8√2

Adjacent = a

Therefore,

Cos(60) = a/8√2

8√2*cos(60) = a

8√2*½ = a

4√2 = a

a = 4√2

✔️Find c using Pythagorean Theorem:

c² = b² - a²

c² = (8√2)² - (4√2)²

c² = 128 - 32

c² = 96

c = √96

c = √(16*6)

c = 4√6

I have tried so hard and I cant figure thus out. The. entire problem needs to be finished, this is worth 20 points.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

No the ramp doesn’t meet the law. The slope is 4/50 which is 1/12.5

The slope of the ramp doesn’t meet the law because it’s slope is greater than 1/12. To adjust the ramp so that it meets the law, you could increase the height and/or the horizontal length to increase the slope so it is less than 1/12.
