Answer:
- sin = -√3/2
- cos = -1/2
- tan = √3
- sec = -2
- csc = (-2/3)√3
- cot = (√3)/3
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached picture for a drawing of the angle and its terminal point coordinates. Those are (cos(4π/3), sin(4π/3)), so we have the following trig function values:
sin(4π/3) = -√3/2
cos(4π/3) = -1/2
tan(4π/3) = sin/cos = √3
sec(4π/3) = 1/cos = -2
csc(4π/3) = 1/sin = -(2√3)/3
cot(4π/3) = 1/tan = (√3)/3

It helps to know that 1/√a = (√a)/a. This lets you write the ratios with a rational denominator in each case.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...
$2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37
16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms
3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
Answer:
<u>Given equation:</u>
<u>To find the y-intercept, evaluate the equation with x = 0:</u>
- y = 10*0 - 32
- y = 0 - 32
- y = -32
<u>To find the x-intercept, evaluate the equation with y = 0:</u>
- 0 = 10x - 32
- 10x = 32
- x = 32/10
- x = 3.2
You want to get familiar with what the slope-intercept form equation means. even though the discussion board covers some of this... slope-intercept is y = mx + b, and in it, x and y are a point on your graph (x, y), m is the slope, and b is your y-intercept. in word problems, any constant will typically be b.
but, really, to answer this word problem, you don't have to think so hard about y = mx + b. just read the problem and bring your information together:
"the venue will cost $1500 to rent for an evening"
"$25 per person"
so they only gave you two bits of information, and you just have to decide where they fit. if the venue costs $1500 for an evening, that's a fixed cost--the 1500 isn't going to go up or down depending on the number of people at the charity event. it stays. you're paying 1500 regardless, even if 2 people show up. because the discussion board states that b should represent your starting amount, you're automatically $1500 in the hole, because you have to spend that much to get the venue. you will, however, write it as a positive integer, because the question wants you to calculate the total cost, by my understanding--you're adding the cost of the people with the cost of the venue.
$25 is not a fixed amount. if it's $25 per person, then if 2 people come, it costs $50, if 3 people arrive, it costs $75. this cost is dependent upon the number of people, which you can call "x"
with that information, write any other equation you would for a word problem:
y = 25x + 1500
that's your equation, and it just so happens that this equation is in y = mx + b format. the x-value represents the number of people who show up for the charity; the y-value represents the overall cost.
and you need three solutions for this equation--which, luckily, is a quick and easy process!! choose an x-value and solve for y.
y = 25x + 1500
when x = 1...
y = 25(1) + 1500
y = 25 + 1500
y = 1525
ordered pair: (1, 1525)
when x = 2...
y = 25(2) + 1500
y = 50 + 1500
y = 1550
ordered pair: (2, 1550)
when x = 3...
y = 25(3) + 1500
y = 75 + 1500
y = 1575
ordered pair: (3, 1575)
i hope that helped!!
