What is the radius of a circle in which an angle of 3 radians cuts off an arc of 45 cm?

I don't understand what it wants.

3 rad is the arc length
2πr=full circumference
(3/(2π))×2πr=45
(6πr)/2π=3r=45
r=15

It all makes sense to me, but if it's incorrect then I could actually spend some time on it

thank you

eager mulch
#

Do you happen to know how to find sec theta

fiery wedge
#

sec=1/cosθ
cotθ=(cosθ)/(sinθ)
arccot(2)=θ

1/cos(arccot(2))=√5/2

eager mulch
#

Or am I wrong

fiery wedge
#

tan would be (x)/(√(1-x²))

#

cos=√(1-x²)

eager mulch
#

Then, would you happen to know how to solve this? I got -1

fiery wedge
#

tan(15) would give you the slope of that line, the negative reciprocal of that would give you the slope of the original line

#

-1/tan(15) would be the slope

eager mulch
#

So -3.732

fiery wedge
#

seems it

eager mulch
#

For this, it would be 4x + 9, right

#

Since p(2x + 3) = 2(2x + 3) + 3

fiery wedge
#

yes

eager mulch
#

And for this, z = 3e^(i(pi/2)), right

fiery wedge
#

which year are you in university? these questions seem odd

eager mulch
#

I am learning pre calculus

fiery wedge
#

so not in Uni?

eager mulch
#

No, but these questions are weird

#

We have multiple choice practice flyers we are given

#

So we can make sure we're up to snuff for a test

#

yeah my bad for the 3π/4

eager mulch
#

Yeah, thought so

#

Since that would be a very odd number for the type of problem

fiery wedge
#

3e^ipi/2 would be 3i

#

have to go ¾ around or π/2 clockwise

#

so -π/2

#

2 solutions in 1 rotation, infinite solutions otherwise

eager mulch
#

Yeah ok that makes sense

#

I was just being dumb 💀

#

So, I have one more question that I don't understand entirely.

fiery wedge
#

3e^i3π/2
3e^-iπ/2
-3e^iπ/2
-3e^-3iπ/2

#

2=4sinθ
0.5=sinθ

#

you can then do arcsin

#

θ=π/6,30°

#

asks for answer in radians

#

so just π/6

eager mulch
#

Is the amplitude of something always positive

#

Like y = -2 cos t + 3

#

Would amplitude be -2 or 2

#

Or either

fiery wedge
#

amplitude in what context?

#

physics?

#

amplitude in physics is always positive

eager mulch
#

amplitude in precalc

#

for a trig function

fiery wedge
#

always positive

eager mulch
#

Ok thought so
