Answer:

option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a right angled triangle ABC

BI\

I \

AI__\C

let theta be at angle C

sin theta=-3/5 (opposite/hypotenuese)

AB²+AC²=BC#

9+AC²=25

AC=√16=4

hence

tan theta= -3/4 (opposite/adjacent)

Answer:

The answer to your question is the second choice tan Ф = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

sin Ф = -3/5

cos Ф > 0

Process

1.- The sin Ф is negative, which means that is in the third or fourth quadrant.

2.- sin Ф = -3/5 and sin Ф = Opposite side/hypotenuse

then, Opposite side = 3 hypotenuse = 5

3.- Calculate the adjacent side using the Pythagorean theorem

c² = a² + b²

b² = c² - a²

b² = 25 - 9

b² = 16

b = 4

4.- If cos Ф is in the third quadrant

cos Ф = -4/5 and cos Ф < 0 This is incorrect

5.- If cos Ф is in the fourth quadrant

cos Ф = 4/5 and cos Ф > 0 This is correct

Then, this angle is in the fourth quadrant

6.- Calculate tan Ф

tan Ф = -3/4

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

Derivatives

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

The function provided in the question is

$h(x)=2x^2-12x+20$

Let's find the first derivative

$h'(x)=4x-12$

solving h'=0:

$4x-12=0$

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

$2x^2-12x+20=0$

Simplifying by 2

$x^2-6x+10=0$

Completing squares

$x^2-6x+9+10-9=0$

Factoring and rearranging

$(x-3)^2=-1$

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists

Situation D: Suppose that, in a one-minute period during an electrical storm, the number of lightning strikes on a radar antenna

Crank

Answer:

21.77% probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

In this question:

$\mu = 2.40$

Find the probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2.40}*2.40^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2177$

21.77% probability that the antenna will be struck exactly once during this time period.

The graph shows the number of chairs made in a factory during one day .

GaryK [48]

Answer:

C) the factory produces 25 chairs per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the rate of change (slope):

$let:\\(x1,y1) =(2,50)\\(x2,y2)=(4,100)\\m=\frac{100-50}{4-2} =\frac{50}{2} =25 \\$

Redondear a 100,000 el numero 5,370,288

Softa [21]

Para redondear este número a 1,000, verifiquemos el tercer dígito del número.

Si el dígito es mayor que 5, aumentamos el siguiente número en 1 unidad.

Si el dígito es menor o igual a 5, mantenemos el siguiente número.

El tercer dígito es 3, por lo que el número redondeado es:

$25,000$

98 POINTS // PLEASE ANSWER ASAP // NO GUESSING // ANSWER ALL PARTS

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

A) y=.50x+15

B) The graph would be a line starting in the bottom left corner and rising to the upper right, the start of the y axis would be 1, as it represents the miles, and the start of the x axis would be 0.50, as it represents the amount of money charged per mile.

C) If you apply the formula y=mx+b to the equation, you will see that 0.50 is the slope, and 15 is the y-intercept.
