What is cot theta when sin theta < 0 and cos theta = -5/13

Answers

Answer 1
If cos and sin are both minus, you are in quadrant III where the cot(theta) is plus.

The reason for that is that cot(theta) = cos(theta)/sin(theta) which means that the two minuses will cancel out.

Now all you have to do is calculate sin(theta).
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

a = 5 The adjacent side
b = ????
c = 13 The hypotenuse
5^2 + b^2 = 13^2
25 + b^2 = 169
b^2 = 144
b = 12
sin(theta) = -12/13

cot(theta) = -5/13//-12/13
cot(theta) = -5/-12 = 5/12

A line includes the points (2, 10) and (1, 4). what is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answers

Hi!

This problem has two parts. First you need to find the slope, so let's do that. The equation for the slope is m = y2-y1/x2-x1

We can now plug the two given points into the equation. 
m = 10-4/2-1
m = 6/1
m = 6

Now that we know the slope, and one point we can put this in slope intercept form. Slope intercept form is y=mx + b

So now we can plug in one point and the slope to find b

10 = 6(2) + b
10 = 12 + b
-2 = b

Now that we know both m and b, we can plug only those two into the equation y=mx + b, and we have the equation.

The equation is y = 6x - 2

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 1414 feet less than the other leg. find the length of the two legs if the hypotenuse is 3434 feet.

Answers

let the width be x ft
the length will be (x+14) ft
hypotenuse is 34 ft
given that our triangle is right triangle, using Pythagorean theorem?
c^2=a^2+b^2
substituting our values in the formula we get:
34^2=x^2+(x+14)^2
1,156=x^2+x^2+28x+196
simplifying this we get
0=2x^2+28x-960
solving the quadratic equation we get:
x=16 or x=-30
therefore the width is 16 ft and the length is 16+14=30

What is the solution of log6x+log6(x+5)=2?

Answers

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:just did it on edge

To solve log6(x) + log6(x + 5) = 2, combine the logarithms, rewrite in exponential form, and solve the resulting quadratic equation. The solutions are x = -9 and x = 4, but since logarithms of negative numbers are undefined, the final answer is x = 4.

To solve this logarithmic equation, follow these steps:

Combine the logarithms: Use the property of logarithms that states logb(a) + logb(c) = logb(a × c).
So, we have: log6(x) + log6(x + 5) = log6(x(x + 5)).
This simplifies to log6(x² + 5x).Set the logarithmic expression equal to 2: log6(x² + 5x) = 2.Rewrite the equation in exponential form: Using the definition of a logarithm, a logarithm logb(y) = c can be rewritten as [tex]b^{\\c[/tex] = y. Thus, we get 6² = x² + 5x.
This simplifies to 36 = x² + 5x.Solve the quadratic equation: Rewrite the quadratic equation in standard form: x² + 5x - 36 = 0.
Then, factor the quadratic: (x + 9)(x - 4) = 0.Find the solutions: Set each factor to zero and solve for x.
x + 9 = 0 → x = -9
x - 4 = 0 → x = 4.Check the solutions in the original equation: Since the logarithm of a negative number is undefined, discard x = -9.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.

Final Answer: x = 4.

Describe the vertical asymptotes and holes for the graph of y=x-4/x^2+3x+2,

Answers

You have a vertical asymptote at those points where the denominator is equal to zero, you have holes at those points where both the nominator and the denominator are equal to zero at the same time.

Therefore:
x - 4 = 0  
x = 4

x² + 3x + 2 = 0
(x + 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = -2 and x = -1

There are no points in which both numerator and denominator are equal to zero, therefore there are no holes, while x = -2 and x = -1 are vertical asymptotes.

which is the directrix of parabola with equation x^2=4y

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation of parabola [tex]x^2=4y[/tex]. We are asked to find the directrix of our given parabola.    

First of all, we will divide both sides of our given equation by 4.

[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}=\frac{4y}{4}[/tex]      

[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}=y[/tex]      

[tex]y=\frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]      

Now, we will compare our equation with vertex form of parabola:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex], where, (h,k) represents vertex of parabola.

We can see that the value of a is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], [tex]h=0[/tex] and [tex]k=0[/tex].

Now, we will find distance of focus from vertex of parabola using formula [tex]p=\frac{1}{4a}[/tex].

Substituting the value of a in above formula, we will get:

[tex]p=\frac{1}{4*\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]p=\frac{1}{1}=1[/tex]

We know that directrix of parabola is [tex]y=k-p[/tex].

Substituting the value of k and p in above formula, we will get:

[tex]y=0-1[/tex]

[tex]y=-1[/tex]

Therefore, the directrix of our given parabola is [tex]y=-1[/tex].

Hello,

Answer B since
(y=-3x+4)* 3==> 3y=-9x+12 which is the second equation ==>infinity many solutions.

Answer:

The correct option is B. [tex]y=-3x+4 \ \text{and}\ \ 3y=-9x+12[/tex]

Step-by-step  explanation:

Consider the two linear equation:

[tex]a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0\ \text{and}\ \ a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0[/tex]

The pair of linear equation has infinitely many solutions when:

[tex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}[/tex]

Now consider the option.

Option a) [tex]y=-3x+4 \ \text{and}\ \ y=-3x-4[/tex]

The above equation can be written as:

[tex]y+3x-4=0 \ \text{and}\ \ y+3x+4=0[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{1}{1}=\frac{3}{3}\neq\frac{-4}{4}[/tex]

Thus, this pair has no solution.

Now consider the option B. [tex]y=-3x+4 \ \text{and}\ \ 3y=-9x+12[/tex]

The above equation can be written as:

[tex]y+3x-4=0 \ \text{and}\ \ 3y+9x-12=0[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{-4}{-12}[/tex]

Thus, this pair has infinitely many solution.

Hence, the correct option is B. [tex]y=-3x+4 \ \text{and}\ \ 3y=-9x+12[/tex]

Describe the graph of the following inequality: 2x - 5y ≤ 6

Answers

Final answer:

To graph the inequality 2x - 5y ≤ 6, plot the line 2x - 5y = 6 with a solid boundary, test a point to determine the solution region, and shade the region that satisfies the inequality, which is below and to the right of the boundary line.

Explanation:

To graph the inequality 2x - 5y ≤ 6, you must first draw the boundary line of the inequality. This line is created by graphing the equation 2x - 5y = 6.

Start by finding the intercepts. For the x-intercept, set y to 0 and solve for x, which gives x = 3. For the y-intercept, set x to 0 and solve for y, which gives y = -6/5. These two points can be used to draw the boundary line. Since the inequality is '≤', this line will be solid to show that points on the line satisfy the inequality.

Now you must determine which side of the line contains the solutions to the inequality. You can do this by choosing a test point that is not on the line, like (0,0). Substitute this point into the inequality: 2(0) - 5(0) ≤ 6 is true, so the area containing (0,0), which is below and to the right of the line, is the solution region. Shade this area to show all points that satisfy the inequality 2x - 5y ≤ 6.

at 4:00 am,there were 800,000 gallons of water remaining at a reservoir.after 4 hours of irrigation,there were 100,000 gallons of water remaining.write an equation that describes the number of gallons of water as a function of the time the field has been irrigated

Answers

Let the[tex]x-axis[/tex] presents the time, and the [tex]y-axis [/tex] the gallons of water remaining, so our first point will be (4,800000). We know from the problem that after 4 hours, at 8:00 am, there were 100000 gallons, so our second point will be (8,100000).
To relate those two points we are going to use the point slope formula:
[tex]m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } [/tex]
where
[tex]x_{2}[/tex] is 8
[tex]x_{1}[/tex] is 4
[tex]y_{1}[/tex] is 800000
[tex]y_{2}[/tex] is 100000

So, [tex]m= \frac{100000-800000}{8-4} [/tex]
[tex]m= \frac{-700000}{4} [/tex]
[tex]m=-175000[/tex]

Now that we have our slope, we are going to use the point-slope formula to find our equation:
[tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex]
[tex]y-800000=-175000(x-4)[/tex]
[tex]y-800000=-175000x+700000[/tex]
[tex]y=-175000x+1500000[/tex]

The equation that describes the number of gallons of water as a function of the time the field has been irrigated is [tex]y=-175000x+1500000[/tex]
where
[tex]y[/tex] are the remaining gallons of water in the reservoir after [tex]x[/tex] hours 
[tex]x[/tex] is the time the field has been irrigated in hours

options

16/20 = x/34

20/16 = x/34

Answers

Hello,

Using Thales, 34/x=20/16

Answer A

To find the distance the ball traveled after it bounces off the wall, we can use the proportion 34/x = 20/16, which simplifies to x = 27.2 inches.

To find the proportion that can be used to find the distance, x, the ball traveled after it bounces off the wall, we can use the equation:

34/x = 20/16

After cross multiplying, we get:

34 × 16 = 20x

Simplifying further:

544 = 20x

Dividing both sides by 20, we find:

x = 27.2

Therefore, the distance the ball traveled after it bounces off the wall is 27.2 inches.

This expression is a generic quadratic expression, so the first thing we need to look at is the last term (-40). Is it negative or positive? What are the factors of it? If the last term is negative, we know that one binomial is a subtraction while the other binomial is an addition. You may be asking, "an addition or subtraction of WHAT?" A binomial factored out of a quadratic expression would look something like this: (x + ____). The blank would equal a factor of the last term. In this case, a pair of factors that would fit is 8 and 5. 
8x5 = 40 and -8 + 5 = -3.

Plug it into the binomial example I provided above and....

Voila! You have your factored quadratic expression, hope this helps! 



To factor the quadratic expression x² -3x -40, we find that the expression factors into (x - 8)(x + 5).

The question involves factoring the quadratic expression x² -3x -40 completely. To factor this expression, we look for two numbers that multiply to -40 and add to -3. The numbers that meet these conditions are -8 and 5, since

(-8) * 5 = -40 and

(-8) + 5 = -3.

Therefore, the expression can be factored into (x - 8)(x + 5).
