Answer 4

Hello? is tan(x)=.88 then cot(x)=1/.88=100/88=25/22

Answer 5

what u mena

Answer 6

I am just applying the law that states.
\[\tan(x)=\frac{1}{\cot(x)}\]

Answer 7

ok. so what do i do ?

Answer 8

plug in .88 for x, and say that if tan(x)=.88, then cot(x)=1 / .88

now simplify 1 / .88

Answer 9

How do i simplify that

Answer 10

\[\frac{1}{.88}=\frac{100}{88}==\frac{25}{22}=1\frac{3}{22}=1.~136~136~136....≈1.14\]
