Answer:

40liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

1/5 full holds 16 liters

1/2 full barrel will hold???

Let 1/2 full barrel hold x liters

1/5 holds 16 liters

1/2 will hold x

cross multtiply

1/2*16= x/5

8= x/5

x= 8*5

x= 40 liters

Hence 1/2 full will hold 40liters

Given that tan(x)= -4/7, and 270 degrees< x< 360 degrees, what is the exact value of sec(x)

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

sec(x) = 1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We can figure out what x is by using the arctan(x) function:

$x = arctan(-\frac{4}{7}) = -29.74$

So, now let's figure out the cos(x) as sec(x) is equal to the reciprocal of cos(x):

$cos(-29.74) = 0.87$

Let's take the reciprocal:

$sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(-29.74)} = 1.15$

And that's your answer.
