What does it mean to find the sin, cos, and tan of the angle θ?

1 answer:

6 0

Sin means to divide the opposite side measure by the hypotenuse. Cos is equal to the adjacent side value divided by the hypotenuse. Tan is equal to the opposite value divided by the adjacent. To remember this, I use the abbreviation SOHCAHTOA. SOH for Sin is Opposite over Hypotenuse, and so on.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees. If we want to be 90% c

siniylev [52]

Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that $\sigma = 0.26$

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2$

$n = 18.3$

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

Maths help PLZZ!!!

Slav-nsk [51]

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Solution:

Given data:

∠ABC = 70° and ∠ACD = 55°

<em>If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.</em>

m∠BAC = m∠ACD

m∠BAC = 55°

<em>Sum of the angles in a straight line add up to 180°.</em>

m∠ACD + m∠ACB + m∠ABC = 180°

55° + m∠ACB + 70° = 180°

m∠ACB + 125° = 180°

Subtract 125° from both sides, we get

m∠ACB = 55°

In triangle ABC,

∠BAC = 55° and ∠ACB = 55°

∠BAC = ∠ACB

Two angles in the triangle are equal.

Therefor triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Answer:

bob is 7 Brian is 11 and bridget is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

if ben is 2 and bob is 5 years older then him he would be 7 if Brian is 3 years younger then bridget he would be 11 and if bridget is 2 times older than bob she would be 14.

2. Consider the circle x² + y2 = 1, given in figure. Let OP makes an angle 30° with the x axis.

PolarNik [594]

The equation of the tangent line to the circle passing through the point P is; y = (1/√3)x ± 2/√3

<h3>How to find the equation of the tangent?</h3>

I) We are given the equation of the circle as;

x² + y² = 1

Since angle of inclination is 30°, then slope is;

m = tan 30 = 1/√3

Then equation of the tangent will be;

y = (1/√3)x + c

Put (√3)x + c into the given circle equation to get;

x² + ((1/√3)x + c)² = 1

x² + ¹/₃x² + (2/√3)cx + c² = 1

⁴/₃x² + (2/√3)x + (c² - 1) = 0

Since we need to find value of c for equation to become tangent, then the above quadratic equation must have real and equal roots.

Thus;

((2/√3)c)² - 4(⁴/₃)(c² - 1) = 0

⁴/₃c² - ¹⁶/₃(c² - 1) = 0

⁴/₃c² - ¹⁶/₃c² + ¹⁶/₃ = 0

4c² = ¹⁶/₃

c² = ⁴/₃

c = √⁴/₃

c = ±²/√3

Thus, equation of tangent is;

y = (1/√3)x ± 2/√3

II) Radius from the given equation is 1. Thus, we will use trigonometric ratio to find the x and y intercept;

x-intercept is at y = 0;

0 = (1/√3)x ± 2/√3

-(1/√3)x = ±2/√3

Intercept is positive. Thus;

x = (2/√3)/(1/√3)

x = 1

y - intercept is positive at x = 0;

y = (1/√3)0 ± 2/√3

y = 2/√3
