Answer:

(a)\ \sec^2(\theta) = 82

(b)\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}

(c)\ \cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9

(d)\ \csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\tan(\theta) = 9

Required

Solve (a) to (d)

Using tan formula, we have:

\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

This gives:

\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = 9

Rewrite as:

\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = \frac{9}{1}

Using a unit ratio;

Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 9^2 + 1^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 81 + 1

Hypotenuse^2 = 82

Take square roots of both sides

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}

So, we have:

Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}

Solving (a):

\sec^2(\theta)

This is calculated as:

\sec^2(\theta) = (\sec(\theta))^2

\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2

Where:

\cos(\theta) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}

So:

\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2

\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}})^2

\sec^2(\theta) = (\sqrt{82})^2

\sec^2(\theta) = 82

Solving (b):

\cot(\theta)

This is calculated as:

\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}

Where:

\tan(\theta) = 9 ---- given

So:

\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}

\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}

Solving (c):

\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta)

In trigonometry:

\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = \tan(\theta)

Hence:

\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9

Solving (d):

\csc^2(\theta)

This is calculated as:

\csc^2(\theta) = (\csc(\theta))^2

\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)})^2

Where:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

\sin(\theta) = \frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}

So:

\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}})^2

\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{\sqrt{82}}{9})^2

\csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}

Which is a function?<br> look at pic
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

option 2 {(12, 3), (11,2), ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

For functions, multiple x-values can have the same y-value but each y-value must have a unique x-value. The second option matches this criterion.

The temperature in Jonestown and Cooperville was the same at 1:00. By 2:00, the temperature in Jonestown dropped 10 degrees, and
sammy [17]
<span>The Jonestown will be much colder compare to the Cooperville.
See how the solution goes:
At 1:00, the both share the same temperature
Let X = the temperature of both town

Jonestown
=> 1:00 = x
=> 2:00 = x – 10
=> 3:00 = x – 10 – 8
At 3:00, Jonestown dropped a total of 18 degrees

Cooperville
=> 1:00 = x
=> 2:00 = x – 6
=> 3:00 = x – 6 – 2
At 3:00, Cooperville dropped 8 degrees only.</span>
