The point (-3/5,y) in the third quadrant corresponds to angle θ on the unit circle.

Sec(theta) = 1 / cos (theta) = hypotenuse / x -coordinate

hypotenuse = 1 (because it is the radius of the unit circle)

sec (theta) = 1 / (-3/5) = - 5/3

cot (theta) = 1 / tan(theta) = x-coordinate / y - coordinate

cot (theta) = -3/5 / y

y^2 + (-3/5)^2 = 1 => y^2 = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25 = y = +/- 4/5

Third quadrant => y = -4/5

=> cot (theta) = (-3/5) / (-4/5) = 3/4

To assess the precision of a laboratory scale, we measure a block known to have a mass of 1 gram. we measure the block n times a

vlada-n [284]

<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m Â± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be Â± 0.0001, we want the expression Â± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be Â± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the Â± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>

Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}$

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D$
