ANSWER
D) sin Y
EXPLANATION
The given triangle is a right triangle.
This implies that that:
Then we have
Recall that
But
When we do the substitution, we get,
Therefore cos(x) is a equivalent to sin(y).
The correct answer is D.
Divide both sides by -3, and replace with
. Then
Factorize the quadratic in to get
which in turn means
But for all real
, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with
If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:
