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

Answer: 110, 35, 70, G, J, F, E, B, A, H, C, D, I

Step-by-step explanation:

8. For number 8, you will be using the exterior angle theorem. The exterior angle theorem states that the exterior angle equals the two angles inside the given triangle. Since we have 50 and 60, you will add 50 + 60 to get 110.

9. In this problem, you shall use the vertical angle theorem. The vertical angle theorem is simply that any angles vertical from one another are congruent. So a will be also 35 degrees.

10. This is an image depicting two lines cut by a transversal, creating multiple congruent angles. With this, you will be using the alternate interior angle theorem. Alternate interior angles are angles on different sides of the transversal but inside both of the lines that were cut into, as shown above. So,  b will also equal 70 degrees.

Part B:

1. G

2. J

3. F

4. E

5. B

6. A

7. H

8. C

9. D

10. I

Answer:

E IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

The R-squared is 0.64 and it means that the dependent value explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

R-Squared value is a very important indicator in a regression analysis.

What does it measure?

It measures how close to the line of best fit are the data points. How good the fitted line is can be indicated by the value of the r-squared.

The maximum value it can take is 1 and at this value, there is a direct and complete relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y. The value 1 represents an 100% relationship between both parties.

The r-squared has a value of between 0 and 100%. The closer to 100, the better the model while the closer to 100, the more faulty the model is. In fact, a value of 0 indicates no relationship at all between the dependent and the independent variable.

With an R-squared value of 0.64, the regression model works above average to explain that the dependent variable explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis.
