Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has two clear points (6,10) and (2,2)

y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(2-10)/(2-6)=-8/-4=2 so far our line is

y=2x+b, using point (2,2) we can solve for b

2=2(2)+b

2=4+b

b=-2 so our line is

y=2x-2, and we want to know the coordinates for (4,b)

b=2(4)-2

b=8-2

b=6

Now we want to know the coordinates for (a,8)

8=2a-2

10=2a

a=5

Ok i) The equation for a slope is y= mx + c where m is the gradient and c the y-intercept. Ok so the gradient is the y rise / x run. You have selected -2 to 4. The rise is -2 and the run is 4. -2 / 4 = -0.5. So y = -0.5x - 2

ii) (0, -2)

iii) I think this one number i). Ill do i) here, -0.5

Hello,

Codes are :
5_6_7, 5_7_6

6_5_7,6_7_5

7_5_6,7_6_5

Choising the first (3 possibilities)
next choising the second (2 possibilities)
chosing the last (1 possibility)

So 3*2*1=6

If sin(x) = 5/13, and x is in quadrant 1, then tan(x/2) equals what?

Rufina [12.5K]

$x$ is in quadrant I, so $0$ , which means $0$ , so $\dfrac x2$ belongs to the same quadrant.

Now,

$\tan^2\dfrac x2=\dfrac{\sin^2\frac x2}{\cos^2\frac x2}=\dfrac{\frac{1-\cos x}2}{\frac{1+\cos x}2}=\dfrac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}$

Since $\sin x=\dfrac5{13}$ , it follows that

$\cos^2x=1-\sin^2x\implies \cos x=\pm\sqrt{1-\left(\dfrac5{13}\right)^2}=\pm\dfrac{12}{13}$

Since $x$ belongs to the first quadrant, you take the positive root ( $\cos x>0$ for $x$ in quadrant I). Then

$\tan\dfrac x2=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{12}{13}}{1+\frac{12}{13}}}$

$\tan x$ is also positive for $x$ in quadrant I, so you take the positive root again. You're left with

$\tan\dfrac x2=\dfrac15$
