Answer:

x = 4

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 10y = -16

-x -4y = 4 <-- ( multiplied x+4y=-4 with -1 so the x's cancel)

6y = -12

y = -2

put -2 back in the equation to get x

x + 10y = -16

x -20 = -16

x = 4

What are the sine, cosine, and tangent of Θ = 3 pi over 4 radians?

Daniel [21]

Our angle teta is:
teta = 3pi/4

since that is larger than pi/2 but less than pi that means that our angle lies in II quadrant (x negative y positive)

sin(3pi/4) = √2/2
cosine and tangent of that angle must be negative because of position of the angle.

cos(3pi/4) = -√2/2
tan(3pi/4) = -1
