You're given that φ is an angle that terminates in the third quadrant (III). This means that both cos(φ) and sin(φ), and thus sec(φ) and csc(φ), are negative.

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(φ) + sin²(φ) = 1

Multiply the equation uniformly by 1/cos²(φ),

cos²(φ)/cos²(φ) + sin²(φ)/cos²(φ) = 1/cos²(φ)

1 + tan²(φ) = sec²(φ)

Solve for sec(φ) :

sec(φ) = - √(1 + tan²(φ))

Given that cot(φ) = 1/4, we have tan(φ) = 1/cot(φ) = 1/(1/4) = 4. Then

sec(φ) = - √(1 + 4²) = -√17

A diver dives from the board at a local swimming pool. Her height, y, in metres, above the water in terms of her horizontal dist

Aneli [31]

Answer:

4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in which the coefficient of $x^2$ is negative, the parabola opens up and has a maximum point. This maximum point occurs at the line of symmetry.

Since the divers height, y is modeled by the equation

$y= -x^2 + 2x + 3$

Step 1: Determine the equation of symmetry

In the equation above, a=-1, b=2, c=3

Equation of symmetry, $x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}$

$x=-\dfrac{2}{2*-1}\\x=1$

Step 2: Find the value of y at the point of symmetry

That is, we substitute x obtained above into the y and solve.

$y(1)= -1^2 + 2(1) + 3=-1+2+3=4m$

The maximum height of the diver is therefore 4 meters.

Find the equation of all tangent lines having slope of -1 that are tangent to the curve y=(9)/(x+1)

fredd [130]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac9{x+1}\\ f'(x)=-\frac9{(x+1)^2}\\ f'(x)=-1\ \iff\ -\frac9{(x+1)^2}=-1\ \to \ \frac9{(x+1)^2}=1\ \to \ (x+1)^2=9\\ |x+1|=3\ \to \ x+1=3\ \vee\ x+1=-3\\ x_1=2\ \vee\ x_2=-4\\ f(x_1)=f(2)=\frac9{2+1}=3\\ f(x_2)=f(-4)=\frac9{-4+1}=-3$

First tangent line:

$y=f'(x_1)\cdot (x-x_1)+f(x_1)\ \to \ y=-1(x-2)+3\ \to \ y=-x+5$

Second tangent line:

$y=f'(x_2)\cdot (x-x_2)+f(x_2)\ \to \ y=-1(x+4)-3\ \to \ y=-x-7$

Notice: slope of -1 means that both $f'(x_1), \ f'(x_2)$ are equal to -1, so $f'(x_1)=-1 \ and \ f'(x_2)=-1$
