If sin theta = 1/3 and tan theta < 0, what is the value of cos theta?

Mathematics

STatiana [176]3 years ago
5 0
If sin Ф=1/3>0 and tan Ф<0; then Ф belongs to the second quadrant and cos Ф will be negative (cos Ф<0).

sin²Ф+cos²Ф=1
(1/3)²+cos²Ф=1
1/9+cos²Ф=1
cos²Ф=1-1/9
cos²Ф=8/9
cos Ф=⁺₋√(8/9)=⁺₋2√2 / 3

We have two possible solutions.
cos Ф=2√2 / 3 This solutions is not possible, because in this case cos Ф has to be negative (cos Ф<0)

cos Ф=(-2√2) / 3 this solutions is right.

answer:B. -2 square root 2 /3    (or    (-2√2) /3  )

Could I get help on some algebra? I need the explanation to know how to do it. +45 points
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A is right, D is right because they are on the outside and on different sides, B is actually right since they are on the inside and on different sides, so that leaves c, so this has to be the wrong one because they are not both interior since 5 is on the outside and 6 is inside even if they are both on the same side

HIGHSCHOOL ALGEBRA!!!!! PLS HELP :) <br> Find the root of the equation: (6x–1)(6x+1) - 4x(9x+2) = −1
My name is Ann [436]

(6x–1)(6x+1) - 4x(9x+2) = −1

Simplify the left side:

36x^2-1 -36x^2-8x = -1

Combine like terms:

-1 -8x = -1

Add 1 to both sides:

-8x = 0

Divide both sides by -8:

x = 0 / -8

x = 0

The root is 0

Guessing that the 3 was suppose to be an exponent.

The answer written in standard form is :
4x^3 + 10x - 4

This is called a cubic trinomial.
