Answer:

This is not a linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a quadratic function. If you were to make a table of the x and y values of the function it would look like this:

x y

0 -4

1 -1

2 8

Just by looking at these three values, we can see that they do not increase at a consistent rate. It increases by 3 from 0 to 1, but increase by 9 from 1 to 2. You can tell if a function is linear by seeing if it increases at a constant rate. (In this case it does not)

If 4sintheta = -3, solve for theta given 0°>_theta>_360°

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

311.41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 sin Ф = -3 and Ф is between 0 and 360 degrees, then we conclude that Ф must be either in Quadrant III or Quadrant IV (because the sine is negative).

Let's assume we're in Quadrant IV. Then sin Ф = opp / hyp = -3/4; that is, the opp side is negative and has length 3, and the hypo is positive 4.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, (-3)^2 + x^2 = 4^2, or,

x^2 = 16 - 9 = 7.

Then x is either √7 or -√7.

To find the angle Ф, use the inverse sine function:

Ф = arcsin (-3/4). Using a calculator we get the angle -40.59 degrees, which corresponds to (360 degrees - 40.59 degrees), or 311.41 degrees. We can check this by finding the sine of 311.41 degrees; the result is -0.75, which matches "If 4sintheta = -3."
