Which expressions are equivalent to −tan⁡ θ?

Mathematics

Answer:

−1/cotθ

1/cot(−θ)

tan(−θ)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function is a the ratio for an angle defined as opposite / adjacent.  A negative applied to −tan⁡ θ will give the opposite value. This is also true for the function when taken on a negative angle. tan(−θ) = −tan⁡ θ. This identity is also true for sin, sec, and cot. Recall that cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent and is defined as the ratio adjacent / opposite. Taking the reciprocal of cotangent will be the same as tangent. Using this information the following are equivalent:

1/cotθ

−1/cotθ  ----> The reciprocal of Cot is Tan

1/cot(−θ) ----> The reciprocal of Cot is Tan and cot(−θ) = −cot⁡ θ.

−1/cot(−θ)

tan θ

tan(−θ)----> tan(−θ) = −tan⁡ θ

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The speed in of the plane is 115.47 m/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height at which the plane is flying = 6000 m

Angle of elevation at the radar base = 30 Degrees

Angle of elevation at the radar base after one minute  = 60 Degrees

To Find:

The Speed of the plane in meter per second = ?

Solution:

Let us use the tangent of the angle to find the distance (d) to a point directly below plane:

<u>when the angle is 30 degrees</u>

tan(30) = \frac{6000}{d1}

d1   = \frac{6000}{tan(30)}

d1 = \frac{6000}{0.577}

d1 = 10392.3 meters

<u>when the angle is 60 degrees</u>

tan(60) = \frac{6000}{d2}

d2  = \frac{6000}{tan(60)}

d2  = \frac{6000}{1.732}\\

d2 = 3464.1 meters

<u>distance travelled by aircraft in 1 min is  </u>

=>d1 - d2

=>0392.3 - 3464.1

= 6928.2 m/min

<u>Now converting to m/sec</u>

=>\frac{6928.2}{60}

=>115.47 m/sec

Please Help!!<br> It's urgent :)
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

For a.) I would do the simplist example possible and make all 3 angles equal. So you would divide 180° degrees by 3. This gives you 60° for each angle. That is still acute.

b.) complementary angles mean they add up to 90°

If one has to be greater than 45° you can so 68° and 22°.

c.) 100 - 10,10; 20,5; 50,2; 4,25

You can choose any pair for the length and width of the ones I put above. :)

d.) angle ABC can equal 32° and angle CBD can be 10°
