Why is tangent negative in the second quadrant?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
3 0

The tangent function is the ratio of "opposite side" to "adjacent side."  It so happens that the "adjacent side" is negative in Quadrants II and III, whereas the "opposite side" is positive.  A positive quantity divided by a negative one produces a negative result; hence, the tangent function is negative in Quadrant II.

Answer:

D)1/3 ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe 1/3

Do some research, I guess it's D).

I hope that helps (:

1. The entire fraction is negative if the numerator or denominator are negative.

if both parts of the fraction were negative, the entire fraction would be positive (- / - = +)

2. Of course, although most teachers ask you to put the negative sign in the fraction as a whole (before the fraction line) or in the numerator. never leave a fraction with two signs. in this case, if it has two signs and they are different, the whole fraction is NEGATIVE

3) No. the whole fraction is POSITIVE only if both the numerator and the denominator have the same sign, + + or - -

How do I convert 82.1, 7.3, 9.3 in a fraction form
nalin [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

82.1 = 82 1/10 (thats 82 and 1/10) or 821/10 (if you dont want a mixed number)

7.3 = 7 3/10 or 73/10

9.3 = 9 3/10 or 93/10

if there is 1 number to the right of the decimal, put that number over 10....not the whole number, just the number to the right of the decimal. Leave the number to the left of the decimal alone.

if there were 2 numbers to the right of the decimal, then put those two numbers over 100.

example :

3.43 = 3 43/100

2.76 = 2 76/100

if there were 3 numbers to the right of the decimal, put those 3 numbers over 1000

example :

2.347 = 2 347/1000

3.679 = 3 679/1000

you understand ?

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to −3x+4y=4 and passes through the point (4, 0) ?
Degger [83]
First, change the given equation to slope-intercept form:

4y = 3x + 4
y = (3/4)x + 1

Because the line we are trying to write the equation for is parallel to the above line, the new line must have the same slope (3/4).

We can then substitute (4, 0) to find the y-intercept (b):

0 = (3/4) * 4 + b
0 = 3 + b
-3 = b

Our y-intercept is -3

We can now write the whole equation:

y = (3/4)x - 3

Your final answer is y = (3/4)x - 3

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.

Diane works at a gardening store, and today she is helping assemble gas trimmers to be sold. An employee from an earlier shift a
Oxana [17]

The linear function for the number of trimmers assembled is:

y = 7 + 4x.

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

A linear function has the following format:

y = ax + b

In which:

  • a is the rate of change.
  • b is the fixed amount.

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

  • In an earlier shift, 7 trimmers had already been produced, thus 7 is the fixed amount, that is, b = 7.
  • Diane assembles 4 trimmers per hour, thus the rate of change is 4, that is, a = 4
  • The <u>amount of trimmers y produced after x hours</u> is given by:

y(x) = 4x + 7
