C.
You distribute both the 2 and the -, combine like terms, add three to both sides and then divide out the 3 from 3 on both sides
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
It would be -56, just multiply as normal
(8/9)^2 is 64/81. Exponent is 2. Hope this help
