The diagram shows two right-angled triangles. PQR and QST are straight lines. It is given that sin x = [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex] . Find the value of cos y.

Answer:

The measure of the acute angle = 90 - a

Leg 1 = a cos(a)

Leg 2 = a sin(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle ,the two acute angles are complementary

We are given that the measure of one of the acute angles is ‘a’

Then

The measure of the other one is ‘90 - a’

Now, we use the law of sine to determine the length of the legs :

Let x and y be respectively the length of the two legs.

[tex]\frac{x}{\sin \left( 90-a\right) } =\frac{a}{\sin \left( 90\right) }[/tex]

[tex]\Longleftrightarrow \frac{x}{\sin \left( 90-a\right) } =a[/tex]

[tex]\Longleftrightarrow x = a \times\sin \left( 90-a\right)[/tex]

[tex]\Longleftrightarrow x = a \times\cos \left( a\right)[/tex]

On the other hand,

[tex]\frac{y}{\sin \left( a\right) } =\frac{a}{\sin \left( 90\right) }=a[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = a \times \sin(a)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

One can know if an equation is extraneous if after plugging it in the original equation, it shows a false meaning or the value is undefined.

It should be noted that an extraneous equation means a root of a transformed equation that isn't the root of the original equation due to the fact that it's excluded from the domain of the original equation.

In this case, one can know if an equation is extraneous if after plugging it in the original equation, it shows a false meaning or the value is undefined.

Answer:

4, 4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle:

The leg opposite of the 30-degree angle is 1/2 of the hypotenuse: 8/2 = 4

The longer leg is √3 times the shorter leg: 4*√3 = 4√3

Check work: 4^2+(4√3)^2 = 8^2 --> 16+48 = 64 --> 64 = 64

As the value of x increases and the function of f(x) also increases since it is moving in the upward direction. The x-intercept is (-3,0)

A function is a set of input values into a program that produces the desired output. In mathematical terms, we can say a function is a set of x values that maps to a set of y values.

Functions can also be represented on the graph called graphical representation.

From the given graphical information, as the value of x increases, the function of f(x) also increases since it is moving in the upward direction.

The x-intercept is the value where the line cuts the horizontal x-axis when y is zero, therefore the x-intercept is (-3,0)

For the random variable x = 250 lb, the

z-score is z = (x - mu) / sigma = (250 - 200) / 25 = 2

From standard tables for the normal distribution, obtain

Answer: 0.977

Rewrite the second expression as

[tex]\dfrac1{1+x^m + x^{-n}} = \dfrac{x^{\ell+n}}{x^{\ell+n} + x^{\ell+m+n}+x^\ell} = \dfrac{x^{-m}}{x^{-m} + 1 + x^\ell}[/tex]

and the third expression as

[tex]\dfrac1{1 + x^n + x^{-\ell}} = \dfrac{x^\ell}{x^\ell + x^{\ell+n} + 1} = \dfrac{x^\ell}{x^\ell + x^{-m} + 1}[/tex]

so the fractions all have the same denominator.

Then combining the fractions gives the desired result,

[tex]\dfrac1{1+x^\ell+x^{-m}} + \dfrac1{1+x^m+x^{-n}} + \dfrac1{1+x^n+x^{-\ell}} = \dfrac{1+ x^\ell + x^{-m}}{1+x^\ell+x^{-m}} = \boxed{1}[/tex]

Answer:

218,048. skeins

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is built to throw you off by not telling you about the information in order.

First, the polypay sheep produces 9.9 pounds of wool.

Then, each pound produces 10.95 miles of yarn.

And finally, the yarn is packaged into skeins that are 175 yards each.

Each polypay sheep is 9.9 pounds. And we will use that total weight to find the amount of yarn in miles.
Then we will split up that yarn into equal pieces to make skeins.

BUT, the pieces are measured in yards, so we will have to convert the miles of yarn into an equivalent amount in yards as well. (Unmatched units of measurements don't mix well).

So, our equation will look like this:

(#of sheep) [tex]\times[/tex] (9.9 pounds per sheep) [tex]\times[/tex] (10.95 miles per yarn) [tex]\times[/tex] (1760 yards per mile) [tex]\div[/tex] (175 skeins per yard)

The number of sheep Bill has is 200.

So, we plug that into the number model we made.

[tex]200\times9.9\times10.95\times1760\div175[/tex]

We end up with:

218,048.914

The decimal indicates that there is a remaining amount of yarn that couldn't be properly packaged into a skein.

Since, that remainder is not a complete skein, we must ignore its existence.

So the number of skeins expected is:

218,048

The number of skeins of yarn is Bill's flock expected to produce in one year is 1819.

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

Given that, a polypay sheep produces an average 9.9 pounds of wool annually.

Farmer Bill has a flock of 200 polypay sheeps

So, total weight of wool is 9.9×200

= 1980 pounds

One pound of wool makes 10.95 miles of yarn.

So, the number of yarns = 1980/10.95

= 180.82 miles of yarn

We know that, 1 mile =1760 yards

Then, 180.82 miles

= 318243.2 yards

This wool is cleaned, spun into yarn and then packaged into skeins of 175 yards of yarn each.

Number of skeins = 318243.2/175

= 1819

Therefore, the number of skeins of yarn Bill's flock expected to produce in one year is 1819.

Answer:

x = 753.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg is x.

The other leg is given.

The trig function that relates the two legs of a right triangle is the tangent.

tan A = opp/adj

tan 37° = x/1000ft

x = 1000 ft × tan 37°

x = 753.6 ft

Answer: 753.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle, theta, is 37 degrees. However, we're not given the length of the hypotenuse in this case. So sine would be x by the hypotenuse and cosine would be 1,000 by the hypotenuse. In this case, we can use tangent, which is sine/cosine. In this case, tan 37 = x/1,000.

Hence,

tan 37 = x/1,000

x = tan 37 * 1000

x is approximately 753.6, rounded to the nearest tenth.

The probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3 is .00006.

The true proportion, p for the population is given to 0.12.

Thus, the mean, μ, for the sample = np = 27*0.12 = 3.24.

The sample size, n, given to us is 27.

Thus, the standard deviation, s, for the sample can be calculated using the formula, s = √{p(1 - p)}/n.

s = √{0.12(1 - 0.12)}/27 = √0.003911 = 0.0625389.

We are asked to calculate the probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3, that is, we need to calculate P(X ≤3).

P(X ≤ 3)

= P(Z ≤ {(3 - 3.24)/0.0625389) {Using the formula z = (x - μ)/s}

= P(Z ≤ -3.8376114706)

= .00006 {From table}.

Thus, the probability that the number of tested rafts that develop cracks is no more than 3 is .00006.

A set of vectors {v1,v2,...,vk} is linearly independent if the vector equation x1v1 + x2v2 + .......... + xkvk = 0 has only the trivial solution

x1 = x2 = .... = xk =0. Then the set  {v1,v2,...,vk} is linearly dependent otherwise.

So putting in the formula we get

x1u1 + x2u2 + x3u3 = 0

x1u1 + x2u2 = -x3u3

au1 + bu2 = u3               ∵ (-x1/x3 = a & -x2/x3 = b)

On putting in the values

a(3,-1) + b(4,5) = (-4,7)

(3a+4b,-a+5b) = (-4,7)

On comparing we get

3a + 4b = -4 -(1)

-a + 5b = 7  -(2)

on solving these equations we get

b = 17/19 and a= -48/19

Word problem can be solved by interpreting the problem into its best fit equation. The equation may be linear, quadratic or simultaneous equations.

Given that

5x + 3y > 300

x + y = 75

Let us first assume that 5x + 3y = 300. That is,

5x + 3y = 300

x + y = 75

Eliminate y by multiplying equation 2 by 3

5x + 3y = 300

3x + 3y = 225

2x = 75

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

Substitute x in equation 2

37.5 + y = 75

y = 75 - 37.5

y = 37.5

The correct answer is (40, 35) because 40 +35 = 75 and

The wavelength of X-rays for the given frequency is [tex]$1 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$[/tex].

The distance between the two crests or troughs of the light wave is known as the wavelength of light.

The color of light is determined by its wavelength, and the pitch of sound is determined by its wavelength. The visible spectrum of light has wavelengths between around 700 nm (red) to 400 nm (violet). The range of audible sound wavelengths is roughly 17 mm to 17 m.

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

[tex]$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$[/tex]

where,

λ = wavelength of the light  

c = speed of light = [tex]$3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$[/tex]

ν= frequency of light = [tex]$3 \times 10^{18} s^{-1}$[/tex]
