Answer:

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}

\theta \to Quadrant III

Required

Determine \tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)

We have:

\cos(\theta) = -\frac{2}{3}

We know that:

\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1

This gives:

\sin^2(\theta) + (-\frac{2}{3})^2 = 1

\sin^2(\theta) + (\frac{4}{9}) = 1

Collect like terms

\sin^2(\theta)  = 1 - \frac{4}{9}

Take LCM and solve

\sin^2(\theta)  = \frac{9 -4}{9}

\sin^2(\theta)  = \frac{5}{9}

Take the square roots of both sides

\sin(\theta)  = \±\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}

Sin is negative in quadrant III. So:

\sin(\theta)  = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}

Calculate \csc(\theta)

\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}

We have: \sin(\theta)  = -\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}

So:

\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt 5}{3}}

\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}

Rationalize

\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3}{\sqrt 5}*\frac{\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5}

\csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}

So, we have:

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta)

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \tan(\theta) \cdot \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} + \csc(\theta)

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 + \csc(\theta)

Substitute: \csc(\theta) = \frac{-3\sqrt 5}{5}

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = 1 -\frac{3\sqrt 5}{5}

Take LCM

\tan(\theta) \cdot \cot(\theta) + \csc(\theta) = \frac{5 - 3\sqrt 5}{5}

What is the volume of a ball if the diameter if the ball is 6 inches? Leave your answer in terms of π.
kap26 [50]
<span>Volume  = 4/3*pi*r^3
As diameter = 6 inches
Radius = Diameter / 2
Radius = 6/ 2
Radius = 3 inches
Putting the value of r in the formula :
 =4/3*pi*3^3
</span><span> =4/3*pi*27
 </span>= 36*pi 
So according to above explanation,
<span>B) V = 36 π cubic inches , is the correct answer.</span>
