By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7

an obtuse triangle has the side as x-3 on the left and then the right says x then the bottom says x+6 can you find the perimeter
user100 [1]

Answer:

P = (x-3) + (x+6) + x

P = 3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a figure, you just need to add all sides together. First, you need to set up an equation that adds all sides together. Then, you would need to combine like terms (x+x+x=3x); -3+6=3. So you would take 3x and add 3, since 3 is positive.

Hope this helps!

Please answer, thank you
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y = -3 we can plug straight into the other equation

--> -x + 2y = -6

-x + 2(-3) = -6

-x - 6 = -6

-x = 0

x = 0

To graph this draw a horizontal like across the page at y = -3 and a vertical line down the page to represent x = 0

The point where these lines intersect is (0,-3)

So that would be the ordered pair solution.
