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

Show that each of these conditional statements is a tautology by using truth tables. a) [¬p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q b) [(p → q) ∧ (q → r)

nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

To show that a statement is a tautology using truth table - is to show that all the entries in the expression are truths T.

We can do this by taking each statement, expression by expression. For example, to show that

[~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

is a tautology, knowing we have 3 columns, we have 2^3 = 8 rows. We start by putting putting truth values for p, q, and r respectively

Next, we find ~p, then find (p ∨ q), then find ~p ∧ (p ∨ q), before finally arriving at the required [~p ∧ (p ∨ q)] → q

TERMINOLOGIES AND SYMBOLS

- T means Truth

- F means False

- ~p means negation of p.

~p is F if p is T, and vice versa

- ∧ means conjunction.

p ∧ q is T only if p is T and q is T.

- ∨ means disjunction.

p ∨ q is T if either p or q is T.

- → is for conditional 'if then'

p → q is T if both p and q are T, or both p and q are F, or p is F and q is T, otherwise, it is F.

Write the equation of the line shown in point-slope form. (2,1) (3,8)

Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u>

The line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Two points are A(2, 1) and B(3, 8).

To find:

The line equation that passes through the given two points.

Solution:

We know that, general equation of a line passing through two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) in point slope form is given by

$\frac{(y- y1)}{(x-x_1)}= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}$

${(y- y1)= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}\times(x-x_1)$ ..........(1)

here, in our problem x1 = 3, y1 = 8, x2 = 2 and y2 = 1.

Now substitute the values in (1)

$(y-8) = \frac{(1 - 8)}{(2 - 3)}\times(x- 3)$

$(y -8) = \frac{(- 7)}{(-1)}(x-3)$

y – 8 = 7(x – 3)

y – 8 = 7x – 21

7x – y = 21 – 8

7x – y = 13

Hence, the line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

The base of a solid in the first quadrant of the xy plane is a right triangle bounded by the coordinate axes and the line x + y

Ivahew [28]

The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is

(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.

Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have

[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4

= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.

Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...
