Answer:

The value of the tangent is -\frac{4}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be A(x,y) = (-10, 8) on the terminal side of an angle in standard position and let be O(x,y) the origin of the angle and the origin of the Cartesian plane. By definition of tangent, we make use of the following expression:

\tan \theta = \frac{y_{A}-y_{O}}{x_{A}-x_{O}} (1)

Where:

x_{A}, x_{O} - x-Coordinates of point A and point O.

y_{A}, y_{O} - y-Coordinates of point A and point O.

If we know that x_{A} = -10, x_{O} = 0, y_{A} = 8 and y_{O} = 0, then the value of the tangent is:

\tan \theta = \frac{y_{A}-y_{O}}{x_{A}-x_{O}}

\tan \theta = \frac{8-0}{-10-0}

\tan \theta = -\frac{4}{5}

Answer:

20.04 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle ABC. Use the definition of the cosine:

\cos \angle C=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\ \\\cos \angle C=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\\ \\\cos 51^{\circ}=\dfrac{BC}{27}\\ \\BC=27\cdot \cos 51^{\circ}\\ \\BC\approx 20.04\ units

Hey smart cookie ;)

So with this all we need to do is factor the expression.
Our answer is going to be 2x(16x^4+15)

Let me know if you have other questions!
