A student is given that point P(a, b) lies on the terminal ray of angle Theta, which is between StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFraction radians and 2Pi radians. The student uses the steps below to find cos Theta. Step 1 Find the quadrant in which P(a, b) lies: P(a, b) is in Quadrant IV. Step 2 Use the point and the Pythagorean theorem to determine the value of r: r = plus-or-minus StartRoot (a squared) + (b squared) EndRoot, but since r must be positive, r = StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot. Step 3 Determine cos Theta. cosine theta = StartFraction negative a Over StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot EndFraction = Negative StartFraction a StartRoot a squared + b squared EndRoot Over a squared + b squared EndRoot EndFraction, where a and b are positive. Which of the following explains whether the student is correct?

Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. their names are rexy, bronto, steggy, paly, and terry. there are exactly 5 dozen wings(equal enough for each dino to have a dozen right? ); however, terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings. if paly eats 2 more than terry, steggy eats 4 more than paly, and bronto and rexy eat the same amount because they are really hungry from not eating all day, how many chicken wings did each dino eat?
