Answer:

Your age(a) is 15 in this case.

If your brother is 1/3 of your age, that means multiply your brother's age by 3

Your sister is 9, and is 4 years older than your brother. In that case, we now know that your brother is 5

With that information, we can put this into a valid equation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>turn 1/3 into a flipped fraction, 3/1 which is equal to 3</em>

<em>your brother's age is 5, so the first value would be 5</em>

<em>5 times 3 is 15, so that means a is 15</em>

5 * 3/1 = 15

lilavasa [31]

1) cos (θ / 2) = √[(1 + cos θ) / 2], sin (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / 2], tan (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / (1 + cos θ)]

2) (x, y) → (r · cos θ, r · sin θ), where r = √(x² + y²).

3) The point (x, y) = (2, 3) is equivalent to the point (r, θ) = (√13, 56.309°). The point (r, θ) = (4, 30°) is equivalent to the point (x, y) = (2√3, 2).

4) The <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8 is equivalent to the function r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ).

<h3>How to apply trigonometry on deriving formulas and transforming points</h3>

1) The following <em>trigonometric</em> formulae are used to derive the <em>half-angle</em> formulas:

sin² θ / 2 + cos² θ / 2 = 1                      (1)

cos θ = cos² (θ / 2) - sin² (θ / 2)           (2)

First, we derive the formula for the sine of a <em>half</em> angle:

cos θ = 2 · cos² (θ / 2) - 1

cos² (θ / 2) = (1 + cos θ) / 2

cos (θ / 2) = √[(1 + cos θ) / 2]

Second, we derive the formula for the cosine of a <em>half</em> angle:

cos θ = 1 - 2 · sin² (θ / 2)

2 · sin² (θ / 2) = 1 - cos θ

sin² (θ / 2) = (1 - cos θ) / 2

sin (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / 2]

Third, we derive the formula for the tangent of a <em>half</em> angle:

tan (θ / 2) = sin (θ / 2) / cos (θ / 2)

tan (θ / 2) = √[(1 - cos θ) / (1 + cos θ)]

2) The formulae for the conversion of coordinates in <em>rectangular</em> form to <em>polar</em> form are obtained by <em>trigonometric</em> functions:

(x, y) → (r · cos θ, r · sin θ), where r = √(x² + y²).

3) Let be the point (x, y) = (2, 3), the coordinates in <em>polar</em> form are:

r = √(2² + 3²)

r = √13

θ = atan(3 / 2)

θ ≈ 56.309°

The point (x, y) = (2, 3) is equivalent to the point (r, θ) = (√13, 56.309°).

Let be the point (r, θ) = (4, 30°), the coordinates in <em>rectangular</em> form are:

(x, y) = (4 · cos 30°, 4 · sin 30°)

(x, y) = (2√3, 2)

The point (r, θ) = (4, 30°) is equivalent to the point (x, y) = (2√3, 2).

4) Let be the <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8, we proceed to use the following <em>substitution</em> formulas: x = r · cos θ, y = r · sin θ

r · sin θ = 5 · r · cos θ - 8

r · sin θ - 5 · r · cos θ = - 8

r · (sin θ - 5 · cos θ) = - 8

r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ)

The <em>linear</em> function y = 5 · x - 8 is equivalent to the function r = - 8 / (sin θ - 5 · cos θ).

Four teams A,B,C, and D compete in a tournament, and exactly one of them will win the tournament. Teams A and B have the same ch
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A= 0,2

B= 0,2

C= 0,4

D=0,2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that only one team can win, so the sum of each probability of wining  is one

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D)=1

then we Know that the probability of Team A and B are the same, so

P(A)=P(B)

And that the  the probability that either team A or team C wins the tournament is 0.6, so P(A)+Pc)= 0,6, then P(C)= 0.6-P(A)

Also, we know that team C is twice as likely to win the tournament as team D, so P(C)= 2 P(D) so P(D) = P(C)/2= (0.6-P(A))/2

Now if we use the first formula:

P(A)+P(B)+P(C)+P(D)=1

P(A)+P(A)+0.6-P(A)+(0.6-P(A))/2=1

0,5 P(A)+0.9=1

0,5 P(A)= 0,1

P(A)= 0,2

P(B)= 0,2

P(C)=0,4

P(D)=0,2
