Use the Pythagorean theorem since you are working with a right triangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2a2+b2=c2

The legs are a and b and the hypotenuse is c. The hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle. Insert the appropriate values:

0.8^2+0.6^2=c^20.82+0.62=c2

Solve for c. Simplify the exponents (x^2=x*xx2=x∗x ):

0.64+0.36=c^20.64+0.36=c2

Add:

1=c^21=c2

Isolate c. Find the square root of both sides:

\begin{gathered}\sqrt{1}=\sqrt{c^2}\\\\\sqrt{1}=c\end{gathered}1=c21=c

Simplify \sqrt{1}1 . Any root of 1 is 1:

c=c= ±11 *

c=1,-1c=1,−1

Determine the center and radius: x2 + y2 - 10x + 8y -8 = 0

Kipish [7]

So our equation currently is ⇒ $x^2+y^2-10x+8y-8 = 0$

Let's first move all the constant to one side and group 'like variables' together:

$(x^2-10x)+(y^2+8y) = 8$

Now lets complete the square of both equations

$(x^2-10x+25)+(y^2+8y +16) = 8 + 25 + 16\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2 = 49\\(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2 = 7^2$

Now we know the circle's general equation format is:

⇒ $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2$

(h, k) ⇒ coordinate of the center of the circle
r ⇒ length of radius of circle

Thus the radius of the circle is 7

Hope that helps!

Solve for x in the given interval. sec x= -2√3/3, for π/2 ≤x≤π

drek231 [11]

Answer:

b. $x=\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$\sec x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},\:\:for\:\:\frac{\pi}{2}\le x \le \pi$

Recall that the reciprocal of the cosine ratio is the secant ratio.

This implies that;

$\frac{1}{\cos x}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$

$\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3} }$

$\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

$x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$x=\frac{5\pi}{6}$
