Determine the value of x using a trigonometric ratio.

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

 B. 8.56

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  • angle = 50°
  • adjacent = 5.5
  • hypotenuse = x

<u>So using </u><u>cosine </u><u>rule</u>:

\sf cos(x) = \dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\rightarrow \sf cos(50) = \dfrac{5.5}{x}

\rightarrow \sf x= \dfrac{5.5}{cos(50) }

\rightarrow \sf x= 8.56

You track your commute times for three weeks (15 days), recording the following times in minutes: 17, 16, 20, 24, 22, 15, 21, 25
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

b) 15,90,24.133,20

c) New average = 19.4, New Median = 20

d) 8

e) 40%

f) Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

a)                    Mon  Tue  Wed  Thu  Fri    

     Week 1      17      16     20     24   22

     Week 2     15      21    25     17    90

     Week 3      16      17    22     20   20

This is a 3×5 matrix where the rows gives us the weeks(Week 1, Week 2, Week 3) and the columns are the weekdays(Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri).

b)The shortest duration out of the data given for fifteen days is 15 minutes.

The longest duration is 90 minutes.

To calculate the average of given data, we use the following formula:

Average  = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total no of observations}}

=\frac{17+16+20+24+22+15+21+25+17+90+16+17+22+20+20}{15}

=\frac{362}{15}

=24.133

Median = the value that divides the data into two equal parts]

Ascending order: 15,16,16,17,17,17,20,20,20,21,22,22,24,25,90

Median = (\frac{n+1}{2})\text{th term} = 8th term = 20

c)                   Mon  Tue  Wed  Thu  Fri    

     Week 1      17      16     20     24   22

     Week 2     15      21    25     17     19

     Week 3      16      17    22     20   20

New average = \frac{\text{Sum of new observations}}{\text{Total no of observations}}

=\frac{17+16+20+24+22+15+21+25+17+19+16+17+22+20+20}{15}

=\frac{362}{15}

=19.4

New Median

Ascending order: 15,16,16,17,17,17,19,20,20,20,21,22,22,24,25

Median = (\frac{n+1}{2})\text{th term} = 8th term = 20

d) In order to know how many times we commute for 20 minutes or more, we check the entries that are greater than or equal to 20 minutes. We have 8 such entries. Thus, 8 times the commute was 20 minutes or more longer.

e)  Percent of commutes less than 18 minutes = \frac{\text{Commutes that are less than 18 minutes}}{\text{Total number of commutes} }× 100%

=\frac{6}{15}×100% = 40%

f) Average  = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total no of observations}}

Average time spent in commuting on Monday = 16

Average time spent in commuting on Tuesday = 18

Average time spent in commuting on Wednesday = 22.3

Average time spent in commuting on Thursday = 20.3

Average time spent in commuting on Friday= 20.3

On Wednesday, we spent the most on commute time.

Solve for x and found your answer to the nearest tenth.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side measurement we have to use trig, and the trig function Cosine, or cos. We use the because cosθ=\frac{adjecent}{hypotenuse}. So cosθ=\frac{x}{15}, then to isolate x multiply both sides by 15. Now we have 15cos42=x, plugging this into the equation we get that x=11.1

What is 3(4x+5)+2. Show your work.
Luden [163]

Follow PEMDAS:

First, distribute 3 to all terms within the parenthesis

3(4x) = 12x

3(5) = 15

12x + 15 + 2

Simplify. Combine like terms

12x + (15 + 2)

12x + 17

12x + 17 is your answer

hope this helps
