Mathematics

Butoxors [25]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/x = -4

x² + 3 = -4x

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

(x + 1) (x + 3) = 0

x = -1 or x = -3

check: (-1) + (3/-1) = -1 - 3 = -4

           (-3) + (3/(-3)) = -3 -1 = 14

Simplify: (sin θ − cos θ)^2 − (sin θ + cos θ)^2 A) −4sin(θ)cos(θ) B) 2 C) sin^2 θ D) cos^2 θ
N76 [4]

Answer:

-4sinθcosθ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

1. (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

2. (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

3. sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1

(sinθ -cosθ)^2 - (sinθ + cosθ)^2

= sin^2θ - 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ - (sin^2θ + 2sinθcosθ + cos^2θ)

= sin^2θ + cos^2θ - 2sinθcosθ - (sin^2θ + cos^2θ + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1 - 2sinθcosθ - (1 + 2sinθcosθ)

= 1- 2sinθcosθ -1 - 2sinθcosθ

= - 2sinθcosθ - 2sinθcosθ

= -4sinθcosθ

The owner of a bakery wants to know whether customers have any preference among 5 different flavors of muffin. A sample of 200 c
Troyanec [42]
So,, there are 5 different flavors. A total of 180 people were asked. Hence, the hypothesis that there is no significant difference is that every flavor gets 180/5=36 flavors. x^2=\sum{\frac{(x_i)^2}{m_i}}-n. In this case, mi is the proportion of the hypothesis, thus 36, n=180 and xi is the number of actual observations. Substituting the known quantities, we get that x^2=9. The degree of association is given by \sqrt{X^2}/ \sqrt{N(n-1)}. This yields around 0.10, much higher than our limit.
