Answer: The fraction of the fertilizer is left = \dfrac38.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Fraction of fertilizer used in first garden = \dfrac38

Fraction of fertilizer used in second garden = \dfrac14

Fraction of fertilizer used in third garden = 1- (Fraction of fertilizer used in first garden)-(Fraction of fertilizer used in second garden)

= 1-\dfrac38-\dfrac14

=\dfrac{8-3-2}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}

Hence, the fraction of the fertilizer is left = \dfrac38.

If sin Θ = 2 over 3 and tan Θ < 0, what is the value of cos Θ?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Sinθ = (2/3)    tanθ < 0  Implies tanθ = Negative.

For sin positive and tan negative, implies θ is in the second quadrant.

<span>Sinθ = (2/3) = opposite / Hypotenuse.

Adjacent side:

x</span>² + 2² = 3²

x² + 4 = 9<span>

</span>x<span>² = 9 - 4
</span>
x<span>² = 5
</span><span>
x = </span>√5 = Adjacent.
<span>
cos</span>θ  =  Adjacent / Hypotenuse =  √5 / 3
<span>
Since </span><span>θ is in the second quadrant, cosine is also negative in the second quadrant.
</span><span>

Therefore:

</span>cos<span>θ  =  - (√5/3)
</span>
The last option from the top :  <span>negative square root of 5 over 3</span>

Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Since there are 6 sides to a cube, the probability of rolling anything but 5 is five out of six.
Fraction is 5/6
To find the decimal, divide 5 by 6 and round to the nearest hundredth
Decimal is 0.83
Then to find the percent you slide the decimal over two spaces. 
Percent is 83%
The ratio is 5:6

A 25-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
It makes a 74 degree angle.

The sides of the triangle that are given are the side adjacent to the angle the ladder makes with the ground and the hypotenuse of the triangle.  

adjacent/hypotenuse is the ratio for cosine:

cos x = 7/25

To solve this, we will take the inverse cosine:

x = cos⁻¹(7/25) = 73.7 = 74

Y = -5x + 1

x = 1 , y = -4
x = 2 , y = -9
x = 3 , y = -14

so the answers are
(1,-4) 
(2,-9)
(3,-14)
