List S and list T each contain 5 positive integers, and for each list the average (arithmetic mean) of the integers in the list

is 40. If the integers 30, 40, and 50 are in both lists, is the standard deviation of the integers in list S greater than the standard deviation of the integers in list T? (1) The integer 25 is in list S. (2) The integer 45 is in list T.

Answer:

Yes, SDS > SDT

Step-by-step explanation:

List S

25, 30, 40, 50, XS

Average list S = 40

So, we could write,

Average list S = 40 = (25 + 30 + 40 + 50 + XS) / 5

Solving for XS

XS = 40 x 5 – 25 – 30 – 40 – 50 = 200 – 145 = 55

SDs = SD (25, 30, 40, 50, 55) = 12.74

List T

30, 40, 45, 50, XT

Average list T = 40

So, we could write,

Average list T = 40 = (30 + 40 + 45 + 50 + XT) / 5

Solving for XT

XT = 40 x 5 – 30 – 40 – 45 – 50 = 200 – 165 = 35

SDT = SD (30, 35, 40, 45, 50) = 7.1

Even at first sight SDS > SDT because 25 is out of the range 30-50, while 45 is within that range.

List S is more spread than list T.

Convert the Cartesian equation (x 2 + y 2)2 = 4(x 2 - y 2) to a polar equation.

SashulF [63]

<u>ANSWER</u>

${r}^{2} = 4 \cos2\theta$

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The Cartesian equation is

${( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} )}^{2} = 4( {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} )$

We substitute

$x = r \cos( \theta)$

$y = r \sin( \theta)$

and

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

This implies that

${( {r}^{2} )}^{2} = 4(( { r \cos\theta) }^{2} - {(r \sin\theta) }^{2} )$

Let us evaluate the exponents to get:

${r}^{4} = 4({ {r}^{2} \cos^{2}\theta } - {r}^{2} \sin^{2}\theta)$

Factor the RHS to get:

${r}^{4} = 4{r}^{2} ({ \cos^{2}\theta } - \sin^{2}\theta)$

Divide through by r²

${r}^{2} = 4 ({ \cos^{2}\theta } - \sin^{2}\theta)$

Apply the double angle identity

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

The polar equation then becomes:

${r}^{2} = 4 \cos2\theta$

i f N(-7,-1) is a point on the terminal side of ∅ in standard form, find the exact values of the trigonometric functions of ∅.

Natali [406]

Answer:

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-1}{10}\sqrt 2$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7}{10}\sqrt 2$

$tan\ \varnothing = \frac{1}{7}$

$cot\ \varnothing = 7$

$sec\ \varnothing = \frac{-5}{7}\sqrt 2$

$csc\ \varnothing = -5\sqrt 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$N = (-7,-1)$ --- terminal side of $\varnothing$

Required

Determine the values of trigonometric functions of $\varnothing$ .

For $\varnothing$ , the trigonometry ratios are:

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{y}{r}$ $cos\ \varnothing = \frac{x}{r}$ $tan\ \varnothing = \frac{y}{x}$

$cot\ \varnothing = \frac{x}{y}$ $sec\ \varnothing = \frac{r}{x}$ $csc\ \varnothing = \frac{r}{y}$

Where:

$r^2 = x^2 + y^2$

$r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2$

In $N = (-7,-1)$

$x = -7$ and $y = -1$

So:

$r = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-1)^2$

$r = \sqrt{50$

$r = \sqrt{25 * 2$

$r = \sqrt{25} * \sqrt 2$

$r = 5 * \sqrt 2$

$r = 5 \sqrt 2$

<u>Solving the trigonometry functions</u>

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{y}{r}$

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-1}{5\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize:

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-1}{5\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-\sqrt 2}{5*2}$

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-\sqrt 2}{10}$

$sin\ \varnothing = \frac{-1}{10}\sqrt 2$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{x}{r}$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7}{5\sqrt 2}$

Rationalize

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7}{5\sqrt 2} * \frac{\sqrt 2}{\sqrt 2}$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7*\sqrt 2}{5*2}$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7\sqrt 2}{10}$

$cos\ \varnothing = \frac{-7}{10}\sqrt 2$

$tan\ \varnothing = \frac{y}{x}$

$tan\ \varnothing = \frac{-1}{-7}$

$tan\ \varnothing = \frac{1}{7}$

$cot\ \varnothing = \frac{x}{y}$

$cot\ \varnothing = \frac{-7}{-1}$

$cot\ \varnothing = 7$

$sec\ \varnothing = \frac{r}{x}$

$sec\ \varnothing = \frac{5\sqrt 2}{-7}$

$sec\ \varnothing = \frac{-5}{7}\sqrt 2$

$csc\ \varnothing = \frac{r}{y}$

$csc\ \varnothing = \frac{5\sqrt 2}{-1}$

$csc\ \varnothing = -5\sqrt 2$

Could someone break it down. I am not catching on.

sleet_krkn [62]

$\bf -0.04y+0.11(9000-y)=0.35y
\\\\\\
-0.04y+990-0.11y=0.35y
\\\\\\
990-0.15y=0.35y\implies 990=0.35y+0.15y
\\\\\\
990=0.50y
\implies 
\cfrac{990}{0.5}=y\implies 1980=y$

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Slope = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

$Slope = \frac{Change -in -y}{Change- in -x}\\\\\\\\Slope = \frac{-8 - 4}{-6 - (-14)}$

$Slope = \frac{-12}{8}\\\\\\Slope = \frac{-3}{2}\\\\$
