Answer:
Find the LCD of the first two, then the LCD of that and the third one.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can do it by finding the LCD of two of the denominators, then the LCD of that and the third denominator.
Or, you can factor each of the denominators and find their LCM by multiplying the unique factors to their highest powers.
___
<u>Example:</u>
1/21 + 1/35 + 1/45
The LCD of 1/21 and 1/35 is (21·35)/5 = 105. The LCD of 1/105 and 1/45 is ...
(105·45)/15 = 315
__
Using factoring ...
- 21 = 3·7
- 35 = 5·7
- 45 = 3²·5
LCD = 3²·5·7 = 315
Hi there! You have to remember these 6 basic Trigonometric Ratios which are:
- sine (sin) = opposite/hypotenuse
- cosine (cos) = adjacent/hypotenuse
- tangent (tan) = opposite/adjacent
- cosecant (cosec/csc) = hypotenuse/opposite
- secant (sec) = hypotenuse/adjacent
- cotangent (cot) = adjacent/opposite
- cosecant is the reciprocal of sine
- secant is the reciprocal of cosine
- cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent
Back to the question. Assuming that the question asks you to find the cosine, sine, cosecant and secant of angle theta.
What we have now are:
- Trigonometric Ratio
- Adjacent = 12
- Opposite = 10
Looks like we are missing the hypotenuse. Do you remember the Pythagorean Theorem? Recall it!
Define that c-term is the hypotenuse. a-term and b-term can be defined as adjacent or opposite
Since we know the value of adjacent and opposite, we can use the formula to find the hypotenuse.
- 10²+12² = c²
- 100+144 = c²
- 244 = c²
Thus, the hypotenuse is:

Now that we know all lengths of the triangle, we can find the ratio. Recall Trigonometric Ratio above! Therefore, the answers are:
- cosine (cosθ) = adjacent/hypotenuse = 12/(2√61) = 6/√61 = <u>(6√61) / 61</u>
- sine (sinθ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 10/(2√61) = 5/√61 = <u>(5√61) / 61</u>
- cosecant (cscθ) is reciprocal of sine (sinθ). Hence, cscθ = (2√61/10) = <u>√61/5</u>
- secant (secθ) is reciprocal of cosine (cosθ). Hence, secθ = (2√61)/12 = <u>√</u><u>61</u><u>/</u><u>6</u>
Questions can be asked through comment.
Furthermore, we can use Trigonometric Identity to find the hypotenuse instead of Pythagorean Theorem.
Hope this helps, and Happy Learning! :)
0.7(5x+15)=2.9 -(x+3)
3.5x+10.5=2.9-x-3
3.5x+10.5= -0.1- x
4.5x= -10.6
x= -2.3555...
Check:
0.7(5(-2.3555...) +15) = 2.9 -(x+3)
2.2555... = 2.2555...
The amount of light passing through each foot the water in the lake = 100% - 60% = 40%
The percent of light passing through 5 feet of water = 0.4^5 = 0.01024 = 1.02%
