A group of Republicans and Democrats was surveyed and each member was asked whether they liked apple pies or eclairs. 80% of the

Republicans liked apple pie, 55% of the Democrats liked eclairs, and 20% of the Republicans who liked apple pie also liked eclairs. If the number of Republicans who liked both desserts is equal to the number of Democrats who liked eclairs, what is one possible value for the number of members of the group

Answer:

Any multiple of 71 (i.e. 71, 142, 710, etc)

Step-by-step explanation:

Republicans = R

Democrats = D

Republicans that liked apple pie = 0.80R

Democrats liked eclairs = 0.55D

Republicans who liked apple pie that also liked eclairs = (0.80*0.20)R

If the number of Republicans who liked both desserts is equal to the number of Democrats who liked eclairs, then the following must be true:

$(0.8*0.2)R=0.55D\\0.16R=0.55D\\16R=55D$

Since the number of Republicans and Democrats must be integers, the least number of members possible is 71 (55+16).

Any value that is a multiple of 71 is a possible value for the number of members of the group

Suppose θ is an angle in the standard position whose terminal side is in Quadrant IV and cot θ= -6/7 . Find the exact values of

Llana [10]

Answer:

Part 1) $csc(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{7}$

Part 2) $sin(\theta)=-\frac{7}{\sqrt{85}}$ or $sin(\theta)=-\frac{7\sqrt{85}}{85}$

Part 3) $tan(\theta)=-\frac{7}{6}$

Part 4) $cos(\theta)=\frac{6}{\sqrt{85}}$ or $cos(\theta)=\frac{6\sqrt{85}}{85}$

Part 5) $sec(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{85}}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The angle theta lie on the IV Quadrant

so

sin(θ) is negative

cos(θ) is positive

tan(θ) is negative

sec(θ) is positive

csc(θ) is negative

step 1

Find the value of csc(θ)

we know that

$1+cot^{2}(\theta)=csc^{2}(\theta)$

we have

$cot(\theta)=-\frac{6}{7}$

substitute

$1+(-\frac{6}{7})^{2}=csc^{2}(\theta)$

$1+\frac{36}{49}=csc^{2}(\theta)$

$\frac{85}{49}=csc^{2}(\theta)$ rewrite

$csc(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{7}$ ----> remember that is negative

step 2

Find the value of sin(θ)

we know that

$csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$

we have

$csc(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{85}}{7}$

therefore

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{7}{\sqrt{85}}$

or

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{7\sqrt{85}}{85}$

step 3

Find the value of tan(θ)

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{1}{cot(\theta)}$

we have

$cot(\theta)=-\frac{6}{7}$

therefore

$tan(\theta)=-\frac{7}{6}$

step 4

Find the value of cos(θ)

we know that

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{7}{\sqrt{85}}$

substitute

$(-\frac{7}{\sqrt{85}})^{2}+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$\frac{49}{85}+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{49}{85}$

$cos^{2}(\theta)=\frac{36}{85}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{6}{\sqrt{85}}$ ------> the cosine is positive

or

$cos(\theta)=\frac{6\sqrt{85}}{85}$

step 5

Find the value of sec(θ)

we know that

$sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{6}{\sqrt{85}}$

therefore

$sec(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{85}}{6}$ ----> is positive

Hello! Could someone help me out with part d? Please show your work!

koban [17]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Part d

∫f′(t)dt as long as the function is continuous

Let u = 6-2x

du = -2dx so -1/2 du = dx

upper limit = 6- 2(4) = 6-8 = -2

lower limit = 6 - 2(2) = 6 - 4 = 2

∫f′(u)(-1/2)du limits -2 to 2 =-1/2( f(-2) - f(2))

f(-2) is 1

f(2) is 3

-1/2(f(-2) - f(2)) = -1/2( 1-3) = -1/2(-2) = 1
