Why is tangent negative in the second quadrant?

Mathematics

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.

Find an equation of the plane that passes through the points p, q, and r. ​ p(7, 2, 1), q(6, 3, 0), r(0, 0, 0)
Alona [7]

Answer:

x - 2y - 3z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross product of vectors rp and rq will give a vector that is normal to the plane:

... rp × rq = (-3, 6, 9)

Dividing this by -3 (to reduce it and make the x-coefficient positive) gives a normal vector to the plane of (1, -2, -3). Usint point r as a point on the plane, we find the constant in the formula to be zero. Hence, your equation can be written ...

... x -2y -3z = 0

Which of the following is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=−18x−2 and goes through the point (-2,-3)?
Irina-Kira [14]
Given that the equation of the line is:
y=-18x-2
the equation is in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the slope. Thus the slope of equation is -18. The line perpendicular to this equation has a slope of 1/18, hence the equation will be given by the formula:
m(x-x1)=y-y1
given that the line passes through point (-2,-3) the equation of the line will be:
1/18(x--2)=y-(-3)
1/18(x+2)=y+3
simplifying this gives us:
y=1/18x+1/9+3
y=1/18x6+3 1/9
