sec(x) =  \frac{1}{cos(x)}  \\  \\ -2 =  \frac{1}{cos(x)}  \\  \\ cos(x) =  -\frac{1}{2}

If you know your sine/cosine values you know that when:
 cos(x) = 1/2 , sin(x) = √(3)/2
The fact that theta, or "x" as I've been using... terminates in Quadrant III means both cosine and sine will be negative and then cotangent will be positive.

cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x)
cot(x) = (-1/2) / (-√(3)/2)
cot(x) = (1/2) * (2/√(3))

cot(x) = 1/√(3)
or rationalized as √(3)/3

What is the answer if 202^2 base3 - 112^2 base3?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Hello,

answer is 204 in base 10 or 21120 in base 3

Step-by-step explanation:

((202)_3)^2=(202*202)_3=(112211)_3\\\\((112)_3)^2=(112*112)_3=(21021)_3\\\\(112211-21021)_3=(211120)_3=(204)_{10}\\\\\\\\\\Other\ way\\\\((202)_3)^2=((20)_{10})^2=(400)_{10}\\\\((112)_3)^2=((14)_{10})^2=(196)_{10}\\\\(400-196)_{10}=(204)_{10}=(21120)_3

Calculate the quotient below and give your answer in scientific notation.
ELEN [110]

Answer: 8.16•10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the

10

. The sign of the exponent will depend on the direction you are moving the decimal. You do this to both equations and when you got the final answer of you divide the 2 equations and put it back in scientific notation Mark me brainliest

The sum of one-fifth of a number and two is five
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first write an equation where the unknown number is represented with variable x. <em>The sum of a fifth of x and two is five:</em>

\frac{1}{5} x+2=5

Great! Let's solve for x by isolating the variable.

\frac{1}{5}x=3\\x=15

<u>Therefore, the unknown number is 15.</u>
