Immediately, by definition of cotangent, we find

tan(α) = 1/cot(α) = 1/(-√3)

⇒   tan(α) = -√3

Given that π/2 < α < π, we know that cos(α) < 0 and sin(α) > 0. In turn, sec(α) < 0 and csc(α) > 0.

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(α) + sin²(α) = 1

Multiplying both sides by 1/sin²(α) recovers another form of the identity,

cot²(α) + 1 = csc²(α)

Solving for csc(α) above yields

csc(α) = + √(cot²(α) + 1) = √((-√3)² + 1) = √4

⇒   csc(α) = 2

⇒   sin(α) = 1/2

Solve for cos(α) using the first form of the Pythagorean identity:

cos(α) = - √(1 - sin²(α)) = - √(1 - (1/2)²) = - √(3/4)

⇒   cos(α) = -√3/2

⇒   sec(α) = -2/√3

Blake is a member of a golf club. When he became a member, he deposited money into his club account. For each round of golf that
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

D)  Blake's account initially had $320, which is decreasing at the rate of $20 per round.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

x: The total number of golf rounds played

y: Represents the amount, in dollars, left in his account after playing x rounds

Let as assume A is the amount deposited initially.

y = A  - n x    here n : rate of each round played

Also, here

if x  = 2, then y = 280

if x  =4, then y = 240

If x  = 2 and y = 280, then:

y = A  - n x ⇒  280 = A  - 2 n   ... (1)

If x  = 4 and y = 240, then:

y = A  - n x ⇒  240 = A  - 4 n   ... (2)

Solving (1) and (2)  by (1) - (2),  we get:

40 = 2 n or, n  = 20

Putting n = 20 in 280 = A  - 2 n, we get: A  = 280 +  2(20) = 320

⇒ A = $320, n = $20

⇒ The amount initially deposited is $320 and the rate per round is  $20

Hence ,Blake's account initially had $320, which is decreasing at the rate of $20 per round.
