The most logical situation would be A, the hiker starts at -10 feet the increases by 10 feet.

B. is close to A. but it wouldn't explain how the hiker stops at 0 feet. It'll just explain how he decreases by 10 feet going down to -20 feet

C. would be the same way w/ B. but now the elevation is above sea level and not below

D. however might confuse you into thinking that it is the correct answer because of the hiker starting at 0 feet. D. describes the hiker at 0 feet but then describes him increasing by 10 feet.

I hope this helps

Since the altitude OF sea level is 0, and the hiker in Death Valley is below sea level, the equation you would write would be :
-10 + 10. This is because the joker went from BELOW sea level, to the altitude OF sea level.
So, the answer should be A

Solve the trigonometric equation:

$\mathsf{\sqrt{2\,tan\,x\,cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot \dfrac{sin\,x}{cos\,x}\cdot cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x}=tan\,x\qquad\quad(i)}$

Restriction for the solution:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{sin\,x\ge 0}\\\\ \mathsf{tan\,x\ge 0} \end{array} \right.$

Square both sides of (i):

$\mathsf{(\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x})^2=(tan\,x)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x=tan^2\,x}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x-tan^2\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{2\cdot sin\,x\cdot cos^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}-\dfrac{sin^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left(2\,cos^2\,x-sin\,x \right )=0\qquad\quad but~~cos^2 x=1-sin^2 x}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\cdot (1-sin^2\,x)-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2-2\,sin^2\,x-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{-\,\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{sin\,x\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}$

Let

$\mathsf{sin\,x=t\qquad (0\le t$

So the equation becomes

$\mathsf{t\cdot (2t^2+t-2)=0\qquad\quad (ii)}\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0} \end{array}$

Solving the quadratic equation:

$\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0}\quad\longrightarrow\quad\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{a=2}\\ \mathsf{b=1}\\ \mathsf{c=-2} \end{array} \right.$

$\mathsf{\Delta=b^2-4ac}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-2)}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1+16}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=17}$

$\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{2\cdot 2}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{4}}\\\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{4}}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1-\sqrt{17}}{4}} \end{array}$

You can discard the negative value for t. So the solution for (ii) is

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}} \end{array}$

Substitute back for t = sin x. Remember the restriction for x:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{sin\,x=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{sin\,x=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}}\\\\ \mathsf{x=0+k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=arcsin\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\bigg)+k\cdot 360^\circ}\\\\\\ \mathsf{x=k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=51.33^\circ +k\cdot 360^\circ}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{solution.} \end{array}$

where k is an integer.

I hope this helps. =)

2 6 + 3 * 4 2 + 7 * - 2 /

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

26 + 3 x 42 + 7 x -2 = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok bud, first step we must convert our symbols (Makes it easier to solve)

26 + 3 x 42 + 7 x -2

* subsitutes for multiplication.

I recommend using PEMDAS at times:

1 - Parentheses

2 - Exponents and Roots

3 - Multiplication

4 - Division

5 - Addition

6 - Subtraction

Yet again your numbers were spaced out could they be exponents? if so:

3x^{42}+7x+24

Our answer would round to 24 but he equation was not put in a valid or straight forward way.

The following data gives the speeds (in mph), as measured by radar, of 10 cars traveling north on I-15. 76 72 80 68 76 74 71 78

____ [38]

Answer:

71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:

$m-t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ≤ μ ≤ $m+t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and $t_{a/2,n-1}$ is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.

the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.

So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and $t_{0.05,9}$ by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:
