Answer:
Dependent variable: y because you get the points by doing the quiz.
Independent variable: x because you don’t know how many questions you answered correctly.
Total points you score: Unknown until you know how many you got right also the same as y.
Number of questions you answer correctly: Unknown until you get your paper back, also the same as x.
First solve for the trig function 'cot'

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.
The measure of the unknown angle should be 110 degrees. the measure of the angles have a sum of 180 degrees. the angles make up a 180 degree angle
Answer:
down below
Step-by-step explanation:
