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

Elaine has 1 gallon of paint. She is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 in wide 12 in long and 5 cm deep. ( 1 g
padilas [110]

Answer:

b. The paint will not fill the tray by 5.22 in3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

First we have to determine the volume of tray by using the following equation

V = L \times W \times H

Now transform this from dimensions to inches

Now  putting the values,

V = 10\times12\times (5\times(\frac{1}{2.54})) \\\\As\ 5 cm = 5 \times (\frac{1}{2.54})

the volume would be equivalent to the

236.22 inches^3

Now 1 gallon is 231 inches^3

So, the remaining would be

= 236.22 - 231

= 5.22^3

Therefore the correct option is b.

Hence, all the other options are wrong

A cab charges $1.75 for the flat fee and $0.25 for each mile. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles Eddie ca
Mamont248 [21]
$1.75 + $0.25x <span>≤ $15; x < 53

So the first one. Because you must pay the flat fee, and then for x miles you must pay $0.25. When you do (15-1.75) / 0.25 the answer is 53.</span>

51^7 -51^6 by 25<br> __*25
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step:

51⁷-51⁶ = 51⁶(51-1) = 51⁶(50)

50 is divisible by 25, so 51⁷-51⁶ is divisible by 25.
