The Reverend Henry Whitehead was skeptical of John Snow's conclusion about the Broad Street pump. After the Broad Street cholera

epidemic ended, Whitehead set about trying to prove Snow wrong. (The history of the event is detailed here.) He realized that Snow had focused his analysis almost entirely on those who had died. Whitehead, therefore, investigated the drinking habits of people in the Broad Street area who had not died in the outbreak. What is the main reason it was important to study this group?
1) If Whitehead had found that many people had drunk water from the Broad Street pump and not caught cholera, that would have been evidence against Snow's hypothesis.
2) Survivors could provide additional information about what else could have caused the cholera, potentially unearthing another cause.
3) Through considering the survivors, Whitehead could have identified a cure for cholera.

Answer:

The main reason it was important to study this group was:

1) If Whitehead had found that many people had drunk water from the Broad Street pump and not caught cholera, that would have been evidence against Snow's hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

But Dr. John Snow was able to convince many councillors who ensured that the pump handle was removed from the Broad Street pump.  Within a few days of this removal, the cholera epidemic ended.  This step proved that Dr. Snow was right from the beginning.  The pump handle was the means that the cholera epidemic was being spread from one person to another within Broad Street area, since many usually fetch water from the pump.

The diagram above shows a circle with centre O and radius 25 cm.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that KL = LM and PQ = QR since OL and OQ are perpendicular to both KM and PR.

It follows that QR = (1/2) PR = 20 cm. We also know that MR = 21.

Now in order to solve the problem we just need OQ=OL

OQ^2=OR^2-QR^2= 25^2-20^2 =225\\OQ=15

Therefore the perimeter of the pentagon is

OL+LM+MR+RQ+Q)\\= 15+20+21+20+15= 91

Verify the identity. <br><br>cot. (x - (pi/2)) = -tan x<br><br>Please, help me!!!
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

cot . (x- π/2)= - tanx

Step-by-step explanation:

cot . (x- π/2)= - tanx

cot .x - cot π/2= - tanx

cot π/2= 1/tanπ/2

But tan π/2= ∞

cot π/2 = 1/∞= 0

cotx - 0= - tanx

cot x = - tanx

cosx/sinx= - sinx/cosx             Putting values of cot and tan

cosx/ sinx ( sinx/cos x) = -sinx/cos x  (sinx/cos x )  

Multiplying both sides with  sinx/cos x    

1= - sin²x/cos²x

cos²x= - sin²x                 as cosx = -sinx
