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

CRITICAL THINKING A local zoo employs 36 people to take care of the animals each day. At most, 24 of the employees work full tim
k0ka [10]

We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.

36 = 24 + 12

If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)

_____

You can write the inequality in two stages.

  1. First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
  2. Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.

Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given

... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.

... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given

... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.

... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24

... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

Im practicing for a state test im taking- i am a 7th grader doing 9th grade algebra because well yeah im smort- anyways- my teac
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is worded weirdly but basically since they're saying "<em>given that a state does not use nuclear power</em>", you can ignore the ones that do use nuclear power.

20 + 12 = 32

and then u have to find the percentage that do use coal (20). to do that all you have to do is divide then move the decimal place backwards 2 times

20 ÷ 32 = 0.625

62.5%
