Answer:

* sin Ф = -15/17     * cos Ф = 8/17      * tan Ф = -15/8

* csc Ф = -17/15    * sec Ф = 17/8      * cot Ф = -8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the trigonometric function of angle Ф

- Angle θ is in standard position

- Point  (8, -15) is on the terminal ray of angle θ

- That means the terminal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle x and y

  are its legs

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ angle Ф lies in the 4th quadrant

- The opposite side of angle Ф is the y-coordinate of the point on the

  terminal ray of angle Ф and the adjacent side to angle Ф is the

  x-coordinate of that point

∵ The length of the hypotenuse (h) = √(x² + y²)

∴ h = √[(8)² + (-15)²] = √[64 + 225] = √[289] = 17

∴ The length of the hypotenuse is 17

- Lets find sin Ф

∵ sin Ф = opposite/hypotenuse

∵ The opposite is y = -15

∵ The hypotenuse = 17

∴ sin Ф = -15/17

- Lets find cos Ф

∵ cos Ф = adjacent/hypotenuse

∵ The adjacent is x = 8

∵ The hypotenuse = 17

∴ cos Ф = 8/17

- Lets find tan Ф

∵ tan Ф = opposite/adjacent

∵ The opposite is y = -15

∵ The adjacent = 8

∴ tan Ф = -15/8

- Remember csc Ф is the reciprocal of sin Ф

∵ csc Ф = 1/sin Ф

∵ sin Ф = -15/17

∴ csc Ф = -17/15

- Remember sec Ф is the reciprocal of cos Ф

∵ sec Ф = 1/ cos Ф

∵ cos Ф = 8/17

∴ sec Ф = 17/8

- Remember cot Ф is the reciprocal of tan Ф

∵ cot Ф = 1/tan Ф

∵ tan Ф = -15/8

∴ cot Ф = -8/15

Lakelyn is training for a triathlon she is practising her swiming running and biking skills so far she can swim at a rate of 250
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her

\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows

Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

Biking speed = 12 miles/hour

The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by

Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))

or t = D/S

Substituting the known values of such as

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

From which we have the time taken  to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours

should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have

\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t and x +y+z =18

Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

x < -4 or x > 8

On a number line, make two arrows:

1) going towards left from -4 with an open circle at -4

2) going towards right from 8 with an open circle at 8

Step-by-step explanation:

l -4 +2x l -3 > 9

l -4 +2x l > 12

l 2x - 4 l > 12

2x - 4 > 12

2x > 16

x > 8

-2x + 4 > 12

-2x > 8

x < -4

On a number line, make two arrows:

1) going towards left from -4 with an open circle at -4

2) going towards right from 8 with an open circle at 8

Jordan will hike a 10 mile trail at a rate of 2 mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance of the trail that Jordan
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

  y = 10 -2x; 10 is the length of the trail

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan's remaining distance starts at 10 miles, and decreases 2 miles each hour:

  y = -2x +10

The y-intercept is the length of the trail.

A rocket is 1 mile above the earth in 30 seconds and 5 miles above the earth in 2.5 minutes. What is the rockets rate of change
tamaranim1 [39]
The rockets rate of change in miles per second is: (5 - 1)/(2.5*60 - 30) = 1/30 miler per second or 0.033 the rockets rate of change in miles per minute is: (5 - 1)/(2.5 - 30/60) = 2 miles per minute
