Answer:

-60

Step-by-step explanation:

If the worker is descending, he is going down. The change in his position could be marked on a graph by translating the original point down by 60 units. Aka -60 units.

En un triángulo rectángulo A es un ángulo agudo y Sen A = 4/5 ¿Cuál será el valor de Tan A?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Funciones Trigonométricas</u>

La identidad principal en trigonometría es:

$sen^2A+cos^2A=1$

Si sabemos que A es un ángulo agudo (que mide menos de 90°), su seno y coseno son positivos.

Dado que Sen A = 4/5, calculamos el coseno:

$cos^2A=1-sen^2A$

Sustituyendo:

$\displaystyle cos^2A=1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2$

$\displaystyle cos^2A=1-\frac{16}{25}$

$\displaystyle cos^2A=\frac{25-16}{25}$

$\displaystyle cos^2A=\frac{9}{25}$

Tomando raíz cuadrada:

$\displaystyle cos\ A=\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}=\frac{3}{5}$

La tangente se define como:

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{sen\ A}{cos\ A}$

Substituyendo:

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}}$

$\displaystyle \tan A=\frac{4}{3}$

M5-3/2x less than or equal to 1/3

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

by rearranging the initial inequality you’ll get

$\frac{3}{2} x\leq 5-\frac{1}{3}$

which equals

$\frac{3}{2} x\leq\frac{14}{3}$

then multiply both sides by 2/3

$x\leq \frac{28}{9}$
