Answers:

  • sin(θ) =  -15/17
  • cos(θ) = 8/17
  • tan(θ) =  -15/8
  • csc(θ) = -17/15
  • sec(θ) =  17/8
  • cot(θ) = -8/15

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

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The point (8,-15) is in quadrant 4, which is the southeast quadrant. A right triangle forms where the hypotenuse goes from the origin to the terminal point in question. After applying the pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is 17 units long.

Opposite the reference angle θ, greek letter theta, the side is -15. Usually negative lengths are not allowed and don't make any sense; however, I'm making this negative to ensure that sin(θ) ends up negative. This will help with other trig ratios as well.

So,

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(θ) = -15/17

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

The cosine ratio will involve the adjacent and hypotenuse

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(θ) = 8/17

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

Tangent is opposite over adjacent

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(θ) = -15/8

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

The functions csc(θ), sec(θ), and cot(θ) are the functions cosecant, secant, and cotangent in that order.

They represent the reciprocal of sine, cosine, and tangent in that order as well.

Eg: sec(θ) is the reciprocal of cos(θ)

This means,

  • csc(θ) = -17/15 which is the flip of sin(θ) = -15/17
  • sec(θ) = 17/8 which is the flip of cos(θ) = 8/17
  • cot(θ) = -8/15 which is the flip of tan(θ) = -15/8

As an alternative, you could also say

  • csc(θ) = hypotenuse/opposite = 17/(-15) = -17/15
  • sec(θ) = hypotenuse/adjacent = 17/8
  • cot(θ) = adjacent/opposite = -15/8

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

Here's a list of formulas that you can write down on a reference sheet

  • sin(θ) =  y/h
  • cos(θ) =  x/h
  • tan(θ) = y/x
  • csc(θ) = h/y
  • sec(θ) = h/x
  • cot(θ) = x/y

where h is the hypotenuse and h = sqrt(x^2+y^2). Notice that something like tan = y/x is the reciprocal of cot = x/y. The x and y refers to the coordinates of the terminal point given to you. Make sure to reduce all fractions as much as possible. In our case, none of the fractions can be reduced any further.

Solve for b<br> 2(-2b+3)=9
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

b=-3/4 or b=-0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-2b+3)=9

2b+3=\cfrac{9}{2}

-2b=\cfrac{9}{3} -3

-2b=\cfrac{3}{2}

b=-\cfrac{\frac{3}{2} }{2}

b=-\cfrac{3}{2\times 2}

b=-\cfrac{3}{4}

Hope it helps! :)

The service time distribution describes the probability P that the service time of the customer will be no more than T hours. If
Molodets [167]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following formul given in the problem:

p=1-e^{-mt}

You know that:

The number of  customers serviced in an hour by the technical support representative is 6 costumbers, therefore:

m=6

As the problem asked for the probability that  a costumber will be on hold less than 30 minutes, we know that:

t=0.5

Substitute the values above into the formula.

Then, you obtain:

p=1-e^{-(6)(0.5)}=0.95 or 95%

What is the length of the apothem of a regular hexagon with 10-cm sides?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem of a polygon is given by:

apothem = \frac{s}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{n})}

Here

s is length of side

tan is trigonometric function

and n denotes number of sides

Given that the polygon is a hexagon

s = 10cm\\n = 6

Putting the values in the formula

apothem = \frac{10}{2\ tan\ (\frac{180}{6})}\\= \frac{10}{2\ tan\ 30}\\=\frac{10}{2 * 0.5773}\\=\frac{10}{1.1546}\\=8.6610\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ hundredth\\= 8.66\ cm

Hence,

The length of apothem of given hexagon is 8.66 cm
