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]2 years ago

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

Write the equation of a parabola whose directrix is y=9.75 and has a focus at (8, 0.25).
lana [24]

Answer:

y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola moves in such a way that it's distance from it's focus and directrix are always equal.

Now, we are given that directrix is y = 9.75 and focus is at (8, 0.25). Focus can be rewritten as (8, ¼) and directrix can be rewritten as y = 39/4

If we consider a point with the coordinates (x, y), it means the distance from this point to the focus is;

√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²)

Distance from that point to the directrix is; (y - 39/4)

Thus;

√((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)

Taking the square of both sides gives;

((x - 8)² + (y - ¼)²) = (y - 39/4)²

(x - 8)² + y² - ½y + 1/16 = y² - (39/2)y + (39/4)²

Simplifying this gives;

(x - 8)² - (39/4)² = (½ - 39/2)y

(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y

(x - 8)² - 1521/4 = -19y

Divide both sides by -19 to get;

y = (-1/19)(x - 8)² + 1521/76
