We want to find the value of cot(θ) given that sin(θ) = 3/8 and θ is an angle in a right triangle, we will get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3

So we know that θ is an acute angle in a right triangle, and we get:

sin(θ) = 3/8

Remember that:

  • sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
  • hypotenuse = √(  (opposite cathetus)^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Then we have:

opposite cathetus = 3

hypotenuse = 8 = √(3^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Now we can solve this for the adjacent cathetus, so we get:

adjacent cathetus = √(8^2 - 3^2) = √55

And we know that:

cot(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(opposite cathetus)

Then we get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3

Which of the following equations describes the graph?
skad [1K]

Using translation concepts, the change of f(x) = x to g(x) = x - 90 can be described as follows:

The base graph has been shifted down 90 units.

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

In this problem, we have that g(x) = f(x) - 90, that is, the base graph was shifted down 90 units.

Answer:

Option D, 32

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Identify the equation</u>

6y = 192

<u>Step 2:  Solve for y by dividing both sides by 6</u>

6y / 6 = 192 / 6

y = 32

Every single one of those polynomials factors.  When factored, your expression looks like this: \frac{(3x-7)(x+3)}{x+3)(x-2)} * \frac{(2x+7)(x+9)}{(3x-7)(2x+7)}.  When you cancel the like factors out, what you're left with is this: \frac{1x+9}{1x-2}.  That means that b = 9, c = 1, and d = -2
