Given that cos θ = –12∕13 and θ is in quadrant III, find csc θ. Question 20 options:

A)

–13∕5

B)

13∕5

C)

5∕13

D)

–5∕13

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Since cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side over the hypotenuse, this means that the opposite side is (we can ignore negatives for now):

So, the opposite side is 5, the adjacent side is 12, and the hypotenuse is 13.

And since θ is in QIII, sine/cosecant is negative, cosine/secant is negative, and tangent/cotangent is positive.

Cosecant is given by the hypotenuse over the opposite side. Thus:

Since θ is in QIII, cosecant must be negative:

Our answer is A.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
