The z-score of Kimmie is -0.625

<h3>Calculating z-score</h3>

The formula for calculating the z-score is expressed as;

z = x-η/s

where

η is the mean

s is the standard deviation

x is the Kimmie score

Substitute the given parameter

z = 85.9-88.4/4.0

z = -2.5/4.0

z = -0.625

Hence the z-score of Kimmie is -0.625

Can anyone help with this question

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: A) x=6

Step-by-step explanation: my trick that i do with these questions are to just fill in the x's with the different choices that they give you.

so... first try out 6. fill in every x with a 6. so now, x isn't x anymore, it's 6.

(8-6)=2

9 times 2= 18

3 times 6= 18

this means that x would equal 6

if that first one doesn't work, try out the other ones. but this one works, so we know we have the right answer. i hope this helps with this problem, and i hope it helps with other problems like this too.

If z varies directly as x and z=30 when x=8 find z when x=4

dangina [55]

Z=kx, 30=8k, so k=30/8=15/4 and z=15x/4, so when x=4, z=15.

Solve the equation on the interval [0,2π]

WARRIOR [948]

$\bf 16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)=12sin^3(x)
\\\\\\
16sin^5(x)+2sin(x)-12sin^3(x)=0
\\\\\\
\stackrel{common~factor}{2sin(x)}[8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)]=0\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
2sin(x)=0\implies sin(x)=0\implies \measuredangle x=sin^{-1}(0)\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
0\\
\pi \\
2\pi 
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf 8sin^4(x)+1-6sin^2(x)=0\implies 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0$

now, this is a quadratic equation, but the roots do not come out as integers, however it does have them, the discriminant, b² - 4ac, is positive, so it has 2 roots, so we'll plug it in the quadratic formula,

$\bf 8sin^4(x)-6sin^2(x)+1=0\implies 8[~[sin(x)]^2~]^2-6[sin(x)]^2+1=0
\\\\\\
~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula}
\\\\
\begin{array}{lcccl}
& 8 sin^4& -6 sin^2(x)& +1\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array} 
\qquad \qquad 
sin(x)= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(8)(1)}}{2(8)}\implies sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm\sqrt{4}}{16}
\\\\\\
sin(x)=\cfrac{6\pm 2}{16}\implies sin(x)=
\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{2}\\\\
\frac{1}{4}
\end{cases}$

$\bf \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)
sin^{-1}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)
\end{cases}\implies \measuredangle x=
\begin{cases}
\frac{\pi }{6}~,~\frac{5\pi }{6}\\
----------\\
\approx~0.252680~radians\\
\qquad or\\
\approx~14.47751~de grees\\
----------\\
\pi -0.252680\\
\approx 2.88891~radians\\
\qquad or\\
180-14.47751\\
\approx 165.52249~de grees
\end{cases}$
