Cot (15 degrees)

Mathematics
1 answer:
STatiana [176]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Part I: cot(15 degrees) = cot(45 - 30)

Part II: Evaluation is below

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Everything is done in degrees</em>

<em />

Two angles that differ by 15 degrees that is easy to evaluate is 30 degrees and 45 degrees. The cot(15 degrees) = cot(45 - 30) = 1/tan(45-30) = (1+tan45tan30)/(tan30 - tan45) = (1+ sqrt(3))/(sqrt(3) - 1)

We rationalize this by multiplying 1+ sqrt(3) in the top and bottom, getting:

(4 + 2sqrt(3))/2 = 2 + sqrt(3)

I hope this helps! :)

Figure A is a scale image of Figure B. What is the value of x?
Arte-miy333 [17]
X=30
Put in proportions x/45 = 18/27.
Cross multiply and get 27x= 45 x 18
Or 27X = 810.
Next, divide by 27 on both sides to get X=30.

A water tower casts a 100-foot shadow. At the same time, an 8-foot stri
bogdanovich [222]

Set up ratios of height / shadow length:

8/6 = x/100

Cross multiply

6x = 800

Divide both sides by 6

X = 133.33 feet

The tower is 133.3 feet

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2,1) and has a gradient of -3.
zavuch27 [327]

A straight line passing through the point (-2,1) and having a gradient of -3 yields the equation y = -3x - 5.

We know that a straight line is an infinitely long line with no curves on it. A straight line's equation is

y = mx + c...(1), where m is the gradient of the straight line and c is a constant.

Given that the gradient of the given straight line = m = -3.

Putting this value in (1), we get

y = -3x + c ...(2)

Again, the given straight line passes through the point (-2,1). So, we can put x = -2 and y = 1 to get the value of the constant c.

So, 1 = (-3)(-2) + c

i.e. 6 + c = 1

i.e. c = 1 - 6 = -5

(2) can be written as

y = -3x - 5

Therefore the equation of the given straight line is

y = -3x - 5
