Answer:

cos q = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard position means the vertex (point or corner of the angle) is at (0,0) and one side of the angle is glued to the positive x-axis (facts, but not technical math terms) See image. Special triangles have all three sides nice and clean with whole number lengths, we call these Pythagorean triples. 3-4-5 is your most basic Pythagorean triple. So we don't even have to calculate the hypotenuse, see image. Now the triangle shown is easy to work with, using entry-level trig...cos = ADJ/HYP. So we get 3/5=.6 BUUuuuut, the angle q in the original problem is actually the giant angle, marked in yellow (see image) and we're in the fourth quadrant which means there's negative numbers all over the place. So just to be sure the answer is .6 and not -.6 Check your signs. One trick to remember is the ASTC markings in the quadrants. I use All Students Take Calculus, but what it means is in the first quadrant All the trig functions are positive. Only Sine (and fam) are positive in the 2nd quadrant. Tan (and fam) in the 3rd and Cos and fam in the 4th quadrant. It's a good quick check.

cos q = 3/5 OR cos q = .6

Angle D and Angle F are supplementary. The measure of Angle D is (3x + 5), and the measure of angle F is (2x). What is the measu
olga55 [171]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are called suplementary when their measures add to 180 degrees.

D+F= 180

3x+5+2x= 180

5x+5=180

5x= 175

x= 35°

angle D = 3x+5= 3(35)+5= <u>110°</u>

Will someone please help me with this because I don't understand and I don't want to fail my class.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y - 1 =0; add both sides by + 4y + 1

x - 4y - 1 + 4y + 1 = 0 +  4y + 1

Simplifying

x = 4y + 1

x + 5y - 4 = 0; Add (-5y + 4) to both sides

x + 5y - 4 -5y + 4 = 0 -5y + 4

Simplying

x = -5y +4

x = 4 - 5y

Now you have both equations

x = 4y + 1

x= 4 - 5y

Now you can use the comparison method

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y
