Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x =   - \frac{2}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the geometric mean of x+3 and 4x+1 is 2x+1.

Therefore, by geometric mean theorem:

{(2x + 1)}^{2}  = (x + 3)(4x + 1) \\  \\  \cancel{4 {x}^{2}}  + 4x + 1 = \cancel{4 {x}^{2}}  + x + 12x + 3 \\  \\ 4x + 1 = 13x + 3 \\  \\ 4x - 13x = 3 - 1 \\  \\  - 9x = 2 \\  \\ x =   - \frac{2}{9}

let (-5,-7) be a point on the terminal side of theta. find the exact values of cos theta, sec theta, and cot theta
Svet_ta [14]

a. The exact value of cosθ = -5/√74

b. The exact value of secθ = -√74/5

c. The exact value of cotθ = 5/7

<h3>How to find the trigonometric ratios</h3>

Since the terminal side of the θ is the point, (-5, -7), we need to find the length of the terminal side.

So, r = √(x² + y²) where

  • x = -5 and
  • y = -7

So, r = √(x² + y²)

r = √((-5)² + (-7)²)

r = √(25 + 49)

r = √74

<h3>The value of the trigonometric ratio cosθ</h3>

Since the trigonometric ratio cosθ = x/r

Substituting the values of x and r into the equation, we have

cosθ = x/r

cosθ = -5/√74

So, the exact value of cosθ = -5/√74

<h3>The value of the trigonometric ratio secθ</h3>

Since the trigonometric ratio, secθ = r/x

Substituting the values of x and r into the equation, we have

secθ = r/x

secθ = √74/-5

secθ = -√74/5

So,  the exact value of secθ = -√74/5

<h3>The value of the trigonometric ratio cotθ</h3>

Since the trigonometric ratio cotθ = x/y

Substituting the values of x and y into the equation, we have

cotθ = x/y

cotθ = -5/-7

cotθ = 5/7

So,  the exact value of cotθ = 5/7

you have reading homework every 6 days and you have science homework every 15 days. If you have homework in both today when will
cluponka [151]
Do you remember when you were learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" of two numbers, and you were wondering why you had to learn
it, because you were so sure that you'd never need to use it ?  Do you
remember that ?

Well, HERE's where you get to use it.  This question is just looking for
the LCM of 6 and 15 .  THAT's how many days it will be before you get
homework in both subjects on the same day again.

(It's not 90 days, and it's not 60 days.)
