You can use the identity
cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.
(1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
sin(x) = ±(√15)/4
Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
tan(x) = ±√15
There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
sin(x) = (√15)/4
tan(x) = √15
In the fourth quadrant:
sin(x) = -(√15)/4
tan(x) = -√15
Answer:
4/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
