6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Jing spent 1/3 of her money on a pack of pens, 1/2 of her money on a pack of markers, and 1/8 of her money on a pack of pencils.

Reika [66]

As per the problem

Jing spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on a pack of pens.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of her money on a pack of markers.

and $\frac{1}{8}$ of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\$

$\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}$

Given that tangent theta = negative 1, what is the value of secant theta, for StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFraction less-than th

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by noticing that the angle $\theta$ is on the 4th quadrant (between $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $2\pi$ . Recall then that in this quadrant the functions tangent and cosine are positive, while the function sine is negative in value. This is important to remember given the fact that tangent of an angle is defined as the quotient of the sine function at that angle divided by the cosine of the same angle:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

Now, let's use the information that the tangent of the angle in question equals "-1", and understand what that angle could be:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-1=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\\-cos(\theta)=sin(\theta)$

The particular special angle that satisfies this (the magnitude of sine and cosine the same) in the 4th quadrant, is the angle $\frac{7\pi}{4}$

which renders for the cosine function the value $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ .

Now, since we are asked to find the value of the secant of this angle, we need to remember the expression for the secant function in terms of other trig functions: $sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}$

Therefore the value of the secant of this angle would be the reciprocal of the cosine of the angle, that is: $sec(\theta)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }=\sqrt{2}$
