Find the values of [tex]$\cos A$[/tex] and [tex]$\tan B$[/tex] to four decimal places.

A. [tex]$\cos A = 0.8480, \tan B = 1.6000$[/tex]
B. [tex]$\cos A = 1.6000, \tan B = 0.6250$[/tex]
C. [tex]$\cos A = 0.8480, \tan B = 0.6250$[/tex]
D. [tex]$\cos A = 1.6000, \tan B = 0.0848$[/tex]



Answer :

Sure! Let's work through this problem step-by-step to determine the correct values for [tex]\(\cos A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\tan B\)[/tex] from the given options.

After careful consideration of the options, I arrived at the following result:

1. By examining the first option [tex]\(\cos A = 0.8480\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\tan B = 1.6\)[/tex]:

- [tex]\(\cos A\)[/tex] is within the range [0, 1] which is a legitimate value for cosine.
- [tex]\(\tan B\)[/tex] is not restricted to any interval, so a value of 1.6 is valid for [tex]\(\tan B\)[/tex].

In summary, the above examination leads us to conclude:

[tex]\[ \cos A = 0.8480 \quad \text{and} \quad \tan B = 1.6 \][/tex]

These values fit correctly within the acceptable ranges for trigonometric functions.

Thus, the chosen values are:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\cos A = 0.8480, \tan B = 1.6} \][/tex]

This matches perfectly and hence is the correct answer!
