Answer 1

What's the problem?

Answer 2

there is two but just the top one and ill post the second one as a different question

Answer 3

Let's do this one first...

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

yes?

Answer 6

I haven't finished, still solving it.

Answer 7

ohhh well the distance for that is 10

Answer 8

and (6,0) to (6,8) is 8

Answer 9

First we need to find the length of the terminal vector once it hits (6, 8).
We can find that through the legs and the pythagorean theorem.
From there we can use a trigonometric function to solve for the angle.
The fastest would be tangent because we already know the legs.

Answer 10

@jtug6 I cant use chat im sorry :/

Answer 11

o it's fine maybe later lol

Answer 12

wait what? that makes no sense to me KCF

Answer 13

From there we can use an inverse tangent function to find x.

Answer 14

(0,0) to (6,8) is 10 btw :)

Answer 15

Yes, but we can just as easily use the tangent function over the cosine or sine function which involves the hypotenuse.

Answer 16

ohhhkay? Im not trying to find that though...right? its in a fraction?

Answer 17

Find the angle via inverse tangent and then find the cotangent of the angle.

Answer 18

and arctan(8/6) is 0.9273

Answer 19

You don't need to find the angle.

Cotangent of the angle = adjacent/opposite.

Answer 20

Ah, okay. Much easier then. I assume you can figure it out from there @RhondaSommer ?

Answer 21

Find the cotangent of the angle in standard position in which the terminal side passes through the point (6, 8).

ok ok so now im confused
