The exact values of the cotangent and the cosine of the angle are \frac{\sqrt{119}}{5} and \frac{\sqrt{119}}{12}, respectively.

According to the information given, the angle resides in the <em>first</em> quadrant of the Cartesian plane. Hence, the cosine and the cotangent of the angle are also positive.

By trigonometry we remember the concepts of sine, cotangent and cosine:

\sin \theta = \frac{y}{r} (1)

\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} (2)

\cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} (3)

Where r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}.

If we know that y = 5 and r = 12, then the cotangent and the cosine of the angle are, respectively:

x = \sqrt{r^{2}-y^{2}}

x = \sqrt{12^{2}-5^{2}}

x = \sqrt{119}

\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{119}}{12}

\cot \theta = \frac{\sqrt{119}}{5}

The exact values of the cotangent and the cosine of the angle are \frac{\sqrt{119}}{5} and \frac{\sqrt{119}}{12}, respectively.

13 more than 4 times a number is negative 91 how would i find the number?
alekssr [168]
<span>13 more than 4 times a number is negative 91 

</span>Convert to numbers: 


13 more than 4: 4+13

times a number: (x)

is negative 91: = -91

Put it together: 

4x+13=-91

                   x = -26

You have proveGraph the image of rectangle RSTU after a translation 4 units down.
rodikova [14]

After the translation 4 units down

The rule of translation is (x, y) to (x , y-4)

The graph will be as following

============================================================================

For the graph of the triangle:

D = ( 4 , 0) , B = (6 , -2) and C = ( 10 , -2)

it is required to graph after translation 7 units left and 8 units up

So, for each point add ( -7 , 8 )

So,

D' = ( -3 , 8) , B' = (-1 , 6 ) and C' = ( 3 , 6)

the graph will be as following:

Hellppppp........ pleasee
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of points in the 2nd row does not represent a function, because the x-coordinate 2 is associated with more than one y-coordinate.

Functions are one-to-one:  For each x value there is one y value associated.
