So, since averages are defined as:

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k}{P}=70

So, since P are the total number of elements and P_k is the P_kth student. This is saying if we sum over each student's score and divide it by the number of students, we should get P, which is true.

So, using that logic, the other class can be represented as:

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{N} N_k}{N}=70

We can take both of these equations and multiply them by N:

\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k=70P

\sum_{k=1}^N N_k=92N

So, if we want to find the average of this we should add both our equations then divide by P+N, which is the number of all the students.

\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k+\sum_{k=1}^{N}N_k}{N+P}=\frac{70P+92N}{N+P}

To make this simpler we can replace our LHS with 86, since that's the average of both classes combined.

86=\frac{92N+70P}{N+P} \implies\\ 86N+86P=92N+70P \implies \\ 16P=6N \implies \\ \frac{16P}{N}=6 \implies \\ \frac{P}{N}=\frac{6}{16}

Simplified we would have P/N=3/8.

Identify the correct equation that describe the relationship between a sine and cosine wave. a. v(t) = A sin (2πft + π/2) = A co
Flauer [41]

Answer:

A. v(t) = sin (2πft + π/2) = A cos (2πft)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to trigonometry friction, the following relationship are true;

Sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

We will be using this relationship to check which option is true.

Wave equation is represented as shown;

y(t) = Asin(2πft±theta)

For positive displacement,

y(t) = Asin(2πft+theta)

If theta = π/2

y(t) = Asin(2πft+π/2)

y(t) = A[ sin 2πftcosπ/2 + cos2πft sin π/2]

Since sinπ/2 = 1 and cos (π/2) = 0

y(t) = A[ sin 2πft (0)+ cos2πft (1)]

y(t) = A[0+ cos2πft]

y(t) = Acos2πft

Hence the expression that is true is expressed as;

v(t) = Asin(2πft+π/2) = Acos2πft

Solve for the value of z.
Yuki888 [10]

z=18

3z+4+2z-4+90=180

5z+4-4+90=180

5z+90=180

5z=90

z=18

DEF is a dilation image of ABC. What is the scale factor?
horsena [70]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDEF is a dilation image of ΔABC.

Rule for the dilation,

Scale factor = \frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the original triangle}}

                    = \frac{DE}{AB}

                    = \frac{4}{8}

                    = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, scale factor by which ΔABC is dilated is \frac{1}{2}.

Option (2) will be the correct option.
