The number is 6. The equation would be 8x - 12 = 36. You add over the 12 to the 36 to get 48. Then when you do 8x divided by 48, you get x = 6. Therefore, the number the problem is asking for is 6.

The mean weight 20 students in a room is 65 kg one student one student who weight is 88kg went into the room what is the new mea

umka2103 [35]

The new mean is 66.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mean weight of 20 students = 65kg

One student with 88kg entered the room.

New mean = ?

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0}{20} = 65$

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0 + 88}{21} = ?$

The above equation can further be written as:

$x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 65 X 20\\\\x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 1300$

New mean = $\frac{1300 + 88}{21}$

= 66.09

Therefore, the new mean is 66.09

Given sinx= −3/5 when 3π/2 < x < 2π, find tan x/2

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

B -⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

sinx = -3/5

Adjacent² = 5² - 3² = 16

Adjacent = 4

tan(x) = -3/4

-¾ = 2tan(½x)/[1 - tan²(½x)]

-3 + 3tan²(½x) = 8tan(½x)

3tan²(½x) - 8tan(½x) - 3 = 0

tan(½x) = 3, -⅓

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

-0.399

Step-by-step explanation:

f^-1(1024)=(2*1024-2/5)^-1= 0.000488

f(0.000488)=2*0.000488-2/5= -0.399
