Answer:

y = -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For such a problem as this, you can replace all sine or cosine functions with their midline value of 0. Then you have ...

f(x) = 0 -2.5

which simplifies to ...

f(x) = -2.5

You can leave the equation like this, or write it as ...

y = -2.5

_____

Perhaps you can see that the midline is the value of any constant added to a sine or cosine function.

Bryce randomly chooses a card from a standard deck of 52 containing 13 of each suit. He records the suit of each card in the tal

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

52 cards / 4 suits = 13 cards of each suit.

Theoretically picking a heart would be 13/52 = 1/4 probability.

Experimentally she picked 15 hearts out of 80 total tries. for a 15/80 = 3/16 probability, which is less than the theoretical probability.

1/4 - 3/16 = 1/16

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right answer is A - The theoretical probability of choosing a heart is StartFraction 1 over 16 EndFraction greater than the experimental probability of choosing a heart

Use the Trapezoidal Rule, the Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule to approximate the given integral with the specified value of n.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Split up the integration interval into 4 subintervals:

$\left[0,\dfrac\pi8\right],\left[\dfrac\pi8,\dfrac\pi4\right],\left[\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{3\pi}8\right],\left[\dfrac{3\pi}8,\dfrac\pi2\right]$

The left and right endpoints of the $i$ -th subinterval, respectively, are

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{(i-1)\pi}8$

$r_i=\dfrac i4\left(\dfrac\pi2-0\right)=\dfrac{i\pi}8$

for $1\le i\le4$ , and the respective midpoints are

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{(2i-1)\pi}8$

Trapezoidal rule

We approximate the (signed) area under the curve over each subinterval by

$T_i=\dfrac{f(\ell_i)+f(r_i)}2(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4T_i\approx\boxed{3.038078}$

Midpoint rule

We approximate the area for each subinterval by

$M_i=f(m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4M_i\approx\boxed{2.981137}$

Simpson's rule

We first interpolate the integrand over each subinterval by a quadratic polynomial $p_i(x)$ , where

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It so happens that the integral of $p_i(x)$ reduces nicely to the form you're probably more familiar with,

$S_i=\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{r_i-\ell_i}6(f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i))$

Then the integral is approximately

$\displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac3{1+\cos x}\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^4S_i\approx\boxed{3.000117}$

Compare these to the actual value of the integral, 3. I've included plots of the approximations below.
