Answer:

3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.8(q-0.5)=-2.6

-0.8q+0.4=-2.6

-0.8q=-2.6-0.4

-0.8q=-3

0.8q=3

q=3/0.8

q=3.75

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 14.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11

b = x

c = 18

plug in and solve

11^2 + x^2 = 18^2

121 + x^2 = 324 - Simplify

x^2 = 203 - subtract 121 from both sides

x = 14.247 rounds to 14.25 - square root on both sides

Will give BRAINLIEST! For parametric equations x= a cos t and y= b sin t, describe how the values of a and b determine which con

irga5000 [103]

The a and b determine how big or small the shape of the conic section is.
For the different conic sections given through the equations 
Circle: x^2/a^2 + y^2/a^2=1 
Ellipse: x^2/b^2+y^2/a^2 = 1 
Hyperbola: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 
When trying to isolate cos and sin from those equations to get cos^2t + sin^2 t = 1 you can determine the conic section when substituting cos t = x/a and sint = y/b into cos^2t+sin^2t square it and then refer to the conic section equations to determine the conic section. x defines the major axis and y is the minor axis. a and b provide the coordinate pairs

Given that sec (x) = 2 and cosec (x) is negative,

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

i) sin(2x) = $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

ii) cot(x+360) = $-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

iii) sin(x-180) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(x) = 2

Since cos(x) is reciprocal of sec(x), this means:

cos(x) = $\frac{1}{2}$

cosec(x) is negative , this means sin(x) is also negative. The only quadrant where cos(x), sec(x) are positive and sin(x), cosec(x) are negative is the 4th quadrant. Hence the terminal arm of the angle x is in 4th quadrant.

Part i)

sin(2x) can be simplified as:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

First we need to find the value of sin(x). According to Pythagorean identity:

$sin^{2}(x)=1-cos^{2}(x)\\\\ sin(x)=\pm \sqrt{1-cos^{2}(x)}$

Since, angle is in 4th quadrant, sin(x) will be negative. So considering the negative value of sin(x) and substituting the value of cos(x), we get:

$sin(x)=- \sqrt{1-cos^{2}(x)}\\\\ sin(x)=-\sqrt{1-(\frac{1}{2})^{2}}\\\\ sin(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

So,

$sin(2x)=2 \times -\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\ sin(2x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Part ii)

We have to find cot(x + 360)

An addition of 360 degrees to the angle brings it back to the same terminal point. So the trigonometric ratios of the original angle and new angle after adding 360 or any multiple of 360 stay the same. i.e.

cot(x + 360) = cot(x)

$cot(x) = \frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}\\$

Using the values, we get:

$cot(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }\\\\ cot(x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Part iii)

We need to find the value of sin(x - 180)

sin(x - 180) = - sin(x)

Addition or subtraction of 180 degrees changes the angle by 2 quadrants. The sign of sin(x) becomes opposite if the angle jumps by 2 quadrants. For example, sin(x) is positive in 1st quadrant and negative in 3rd quadrant.

So,

sin(x - 180) = $-(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
