Use the following triangle to find Sec theta.

Mathematics

makkiz [27]1 year ago

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(theta) is defined as: sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)} = \frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

In the diagram you provided the hypotenuse of the triangle is sqrt(41) and the opposite side is 5, using these two sides, we can solve for the adjacent side by using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

So this gives us the equation where a=adjacent side:

a^2+5^2=\sqrt{41}^2

a^2+25=41

Subtract 25 from both sides

a^2=16

Take the square root of both sides

a=4

So now plug this into the definition of sec(theta) and you get: \frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}. This is in most simplified form since 41, has no factors besides 41 and 1.

Ken’s predicted temperature for April is 7ºC. His prediction for May is 2ºC higher than April. He used the number line to solve
tia_tia [17]

Answer: Ken Should have moved 9 units to the right because his prediction for May is 9°C. Moving to the left part of the number line would take Ken into negative degrees. 9°C is warmer than 7°C. Therefore, Ken should have moved 9 units to the right of the number line instead of 2 units to the left.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146

P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

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".

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

X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.05)

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!}

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 2)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146

P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

Good answer fast Find the value of y
Radda [10]

Answer: y = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

55.30786941 = sin-1 (148/180)   round to 55.3°  angle x

34.69213059 = cos-1 (148/180) . round to 34.7°  "angle z" at right

34.7 +55.3 = 90

Sum of All angles of the triangle = 180°  180 -90 = 90

If angle x is 55.7 and angle z is 34.7° Angle y must be 90°
