Answer:

  2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

If s is the speed going up the mountain, then s+1 is the speed coming down. The total trip time for 6 miles up and 6 miles down is ...

  6/s +6/(s+1) = 5

  6(s+1) +6s = 5(s)(s+1)

  5s^2 -7x -6 = 0 . . . . subtract the left side, simplify to standard form

  (s -2)(5s +3) = 0 . . . . factor

  s = 2 or -3/5 . . . . values that make the factors 0

Their speed was 2 miles per hour going up the mountain.

__

<em>Check</em>

It took 6/2 = 3 hours to go up the mountain, and 6/(2+1) = 2 hours to come down, for a total of 5 hours.

Find the remaining trigonometric ratios of θ if csc(θ) = -6 and cos(θ) is positive
VikaD [51]
Now, the cosecant of θ is -6, or namely -6/1.

however, the cosecant is really the hypotenuse/opposite, but the hypotenuse is never negative, since is just a distance unit from the center of the circle, so in the fraction -6/1, the negative must be the 1, or 6/-1 then.

we know the cosine is positive, and we know the opposite side is -1, or negative, the only happens in the IV quadrant, so θ is in the IV quadrant, now

\bf csc(\theta)=-6\implies csc(\theta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}}{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\pm\sqrt{6^2-(-1)^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{35}=a\implies \stackrel{IV~quadrant}{+\sqrt{35}=a}

recall that 

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}&#10;\qquad\qquad &#10;cos(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% cotangent&#10;cot(\theta)=\cfrac{adjacent}{opposite}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% cosecant&#10;csc(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{opposite}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% secant&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

therefore, let's just plug that on the remaining ones,

\bf sin(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{6}&#10;\qquad\qquad &#10;cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{6}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% tangent&#10;tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;% cotangent&#10;cot(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}

now, let's rationalize the denominator on tangent and secant,

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{-\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{35}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;sec(\theta)=\cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6}{\sqrt{35}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{35}}{\sqrt{35}}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{(\sqrt{35})^2}\implies \cfrac{6\sqrt{35}}{35}

How do i do numer 1 and 3.?!?!?!?!?!
Anna11 [10]
To solve each question, all you've got to do is add the two numbers together and then graph the result on the number line.

1.) -3 +(-1.5)
Add 3 to -1.5. It would be the same as subtracting 1.5 from -3(-3 - 1.5)
Final Answer: -4.5<span>
Or, since you are using a number line, start on -3 and go left 1.5 units and you will land on the -4.5 point. You go to the left because you are adding a negative number..
</span>
2.) 1.5+3.5
Add<span>
Final Answer: 5
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1.5 and go to the right 3.5 and you will land on 5. You go to the right because you are adding a positive number.<span>

</span>3.) 1/4 + 1/2
Multiply 1/2 by 2 to make both fractions have the same denominator
1/4 + 2/4
Add<span>
Final Answer: 3/4
</span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on 1/4 and go up 2/4 and you will land on 3/4 as the result.<span>

</span>4.) -1 1/2 + (-1 1/2)
Add -1 1/2 to -1 1/2. This would be the same as subtracting 1 1/2 from -1 1/2(-1 1/2 - 1 1/2)<span>
Final Answer: -3
</span><span>Or, since you are using a number line, start on -1 1/2 and go to the left 1 1/2 and you will land on the -3 point.</span>
