If sin = 5/12, find the exact values of cot and cos .

Mathematics

SashulF [63]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Which of the following describes a ratio of actual events to the number of trials in an experiment? Select all that apply. HELP
aleksklad [387]
Experiental probability is the correct choice because you will have actual data from an experiment that you are using to create the ratio of outcomes to attempts. This is the scientific and mathematical name for a tested ratio. Theoretical probability, on the other hand, is what you would expect to happen if you were to perform the test.

Answer:

  -7/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in place of the corresponding variables and do the arithmetic.

  \dfrac{-\left|1\dfrac{7}{8}+(-1)\right|}{2-(-4)}=\dfrac{-\dfrac{7}{8}}{6}=-\dfrac{7}{8\cdot6}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{48}}
