Answer:

  5.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A diagram can help you understand the question, and can give you a clue as to how to find the answer. A diagram is attached. The problem can be described as finding the sum of two vectors whose magnitude and direction are known.

__

<h3>understanding the direction</h3>

In navigation problems, direction angles are specified a couple of different ways. A <em>bearing</em> is usually an angle in the range [0°, 360°), <em>measured clockwise from north</em>. In land surveying and some other applications, a bearing may be specified as an angle east or west of a north-south line. In this problem we are given the bearing of the second leg of the walk as ...

  N 35° E . . . . . . . 35° east of north

Occasionally, a non-standard bearing will be given in terms of an angle north or south of an east-west line. The same bearing could be specified as E 55° N, for example.

<h3>the two vectors</h3>

A vector is a mathematical object that has both magnitude and direction. It is sometimes expressed as an ordered pair: (magnitude; direction angle). It can also be expressed using some other notations;

  • magnitude∠direction
  • magnitude <em>cis</em> direction

In the latter case, "cis" is an abbreviation for the sum cos(θ)+i·sin(θ), where θ is the direction angle.

Sometimes a semicolon is used in the polar coordinate ordered pair to distinguish the coordinates from (x, y) rectangular coordinates.

__

The first leg of the walk is 3 meters due north. The angle from north is 0°, and the magnitude of the distance is 3 meters. We can express this vector in any of the ways described above. One convenient way is 3∠0°.

The second leg of the walk is 2.5 meters on a bearing 35° clockwise from north. This leg can be described by the vector 2.5∠35°.

<h3>vector sum</h3>

The final position is the sum of these two changes in position:

  3∠0° +2.5∠35°

Some calculators can compute this sum directly. The result from one such calculator is shown in the second attachment:

  = 5.24760∠15.8582°

This tells you the magnitude of the distance from the original position is about 5.25 meters. (This value is also shown in the first attachment.)

__

You may have noticed that adding two vectors often results in a triangle. The magnitude of the vector sum can also be found using the Law of Cosines to solve the triangle. For the triangle shown in the first attachment, the Law of Cosines formula can be written as ...

  a² = b² +o² -2bo·cos(A) . . . . where A is the internal angle at A, 145°

Using the values we know, this becomes ...

  a² = 3² +2.5² -2(3)(2.5)cos(145°) ≈ 27.5373

  a = √27.5373 = 5.24760 . . . . meters

The distance from the original position is about 5.25 meters.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The vector sum can also be calculated in terms of rectangular coordinates. Position A has rectangular coordinates (0, 3). The change in coordinates from A to B can be represented as 2.5(sin(35°), cos(35°)) ≈ (1.434, 2.048). Then the coordinates of B are ...

  (0, 3) +(1.434, 2.048) = (1.434, 5.048)

The distance can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:

  OB = √(1.434² +5.048²) ≈ 5.248

What are the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = quantity x squared plus 6 x plus 8 end quantity over quantity x plus
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Discontinuity at (-4,-2), zero at (-2,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a function

f(x)=\frac{x^2+6x+8}{x+4}

We have to find the discontinuity and zero of the given function.

Discontinuity: It is that point where the function is not defined.

It makes the function infinite.

f(x)=\frac{x^2+4x+2x+8}{x+4}

f(x)=\frac{(x+4)(x+2)}{x+4}

When x=-4 then

f(-4)=\frac{0}{0} It is indeterminate form

Function is not defined

After cancel out x+4 in numerator and denominator  then we get

f(x)=x+2

Substitute x=-4

f(-4)=-4+2=-2

Therefore, the point of discontinuity is (-4,-2).

Zero: The zero of the function is that number when substitute it in the given function then the function becomes zero.

When substitute x=-2

Then , f(0)=-2+2=0

The function is zero at (-2,0).

Hence, option C is true.

For a binomial process, the probability of success is 40 percent and the number of trials is 5. Find the standard deviation.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

The mean for the binomial distribution is given by:

E(X) =np=5*0.4=2

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = np(1-p) =5*0.4*(1-0.4)=1.2

And the deviation is just the square root of the variance so we got:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095
