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

Evaluate the expression.<br> 7.4+6 - 12:4<br><br><br> Plz help me
juin [17]

Answer:

7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

* To solve this problem lets revise the order of operations in

  mathematics

- The operations are:

# Addition

# Subtraction

# Multiplication

# Division

# Exponentiation

# Grouping ⇒ Parenthesis or brackets

- The order of these operations is:

# Parenthesis

# Exponents

# Multiplication and Division which comes first from left to right

# Addition and Subtraction which comes first from left to right

- There is a word made from the first letter of each operation

  PEMDAS to remember the order of operations

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4

∵ The (.) means multiply the numbers

∵ The symbol (:) means divided the numbers

∴ At first multiply 7 by 4 and divide 12 by 4

∴ (7 × 4) + 6 - (12 ÷ 4)

∴ 28 + 6 - 3

∵ Addition comes before subtraction from the left

∴ (28 + 6) - 3

∴ 34 - 3 = 31

∴ 7 . 4 + 6 - 12 : 4 = 31

The end points of a diameter of a circle are (6,2) and (-4,7).
motikmotik

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form equation of a circle with radius r is expressed as

( x − h )^2 + ( y − k )^2 =r ^2 ,

where r represents the radius

h and k are the coordinates of the center of the circle C( h , k )

To determine the coordinates at the center of the circle, the midpoint formula would be used. It is expressed as

[(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]

Midpoint of the circle =

(6 - 4)/2 , (2 + 7)/2 = (1, 4.5)

h coordinate of the center = 1

k coordinate of the center = 4.5

r^2 = (x - h)^2 + (2 - k)^2

r^2 = (6 - 1)^2 + (2 - 4.5)^2

r^2 = 5^2 + (- 2.5)^2 = 25 + 6.25

r^2 = 31.25

Substituting r^2 = 31.25, h = 1 and k = 4.5 into (x − h )^2 + ( y − k )^2 = r^2, the standard equation of the circle becomes

(x − 1 )^2 + ( y − 4.5 )^2 = 31.25
