Find sin theta if cot theta = -2 and cos theta < 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Katarina [22]3 years ago
6 0

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

So if both cot(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative, that means sin(<em>θ</em>) must be positive.

Recall that

cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1 = csc²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin²(<em>θ</em>)

so that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

Plug in cot(<em>θ</em>) = -2 and solve for sin(<em>θ</em>) :

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √((-2)² + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/√(5)

Solve the equation √x+9 - 9 = -4 show each step of your solution process
Serjik [45]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by adding 9 to both sides, obtaining:  √(x + 9) = 5.

Square both sides, obtaining:   x + 9 = 25.

Subtract 9 from both sides:  x = 16

Note that √(16+9) - 9 = -4, as required.
