Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write the trignometric expression:

As an algebraic equation.
First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:

Take the secant of both sides:

Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:

By substitutition:

Using an double-angle identity:

We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:

Simplify. Therefore:

9514 1404 393
Answer:
(b) 15.32
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use your triangle sense to answer this.
The side x will always be shorter than the hypotenuse, 20. This eliminates the last two choices.
If the angle is 45°, then the sides are equal at about 0.707 times the length of the hypotenuse. That would make them 0.707×20 = 14.14. Since the angle is greater than 45°, the opposite side will be greater than 14.14. Only one answer choice fits between 14 and 20: the second choice -- 15.32.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relation ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(50°) = x/20
x = 20×sin(50°) . . . . multiply by 20 to find x
x ≈ 15.32 . . . . . . . . . use your calculator to evaluate

Answer:
x=10, y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-y=11
2x+y=19
3x=30
x=10
10-y=11
-y=1
y=-1
