Answer:

The length of the ladder is approximately 74.55 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the ladder,

Given,

The ladder makes 28° angle with the ground and the top of the ladder reaches 35 feet up on the building,

Since, a building is generally assumed perpendicular to the ground,

So, we obtained a right triangle,

By the trigonometric ratio,

$sin 28^{\circ}=\frac{35}{x}$

$\implies x = \frac{35}{sin 28^{\circ}}=74.5519063866\approx 74.55$

Hence, the length of the ladder is approximately 74.55 ft.

The following 5 questions are based on this information: An economist claims that average weekly food expenditure of households

liq [111]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{0}\leq 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0$

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}=2.705$

b) 2.70

$t=\frac{(164-159)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}}=1.850$

b. 1.85

$p_v =P(Z>1.85)=0.032$

b. 0.03

a. We can reject H(0) in favor of H(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=164$ represent the mean for the sample 1

$\bar X_{2}=159$ represent the mean for the sample 2

$\sigma_{1}=12.5$ represent the population standard deviation for the sample 1

$s_{2}=9.25$ represent the population standard deviation for the sample B2

$n_{1}=35$ sample size selected 1

$n_{2}=30$ sample size selected 2

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the expenditure of households in City 1 is more than that of households in City 2, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{0}\leq 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}>0$

We know the population deviations, so for this case is better apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{(\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2})-0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Standard error

The standard error on this case is given by:

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}$

Replacing the values that we have we got:

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}=2.705$

b. 2.70

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{(164-159)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{12.5^2}{35}+\frac{9.25^2}{30}}}=1.850$

P-value

Since is a one side right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>1.85)=0.032$

b. 0.03

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

a. We can reject H(0) in favor of H(a)

Prove that:- (1-sinA)(1+sinA)÷(1+cosA)(1-cosA)=cot^2A

astraxan [27]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 , then

sin²x = 1 - cos²x and cos²x = 1 - sin²x

Consider the left side

$\frac{(1-sinA)(1 + sinA)}{(1+cosA)(1-cosA)}$ ← expand numerator/denominator using FOIL

= $\frac{1-sin^2A}{1-cos^2A}$

= $\frac{1-(1-cos^2A)}{1-(1-sin^2A)}$

= $\frac{1-1+cos^2A}{1-1+sin^2A}$

= $\frac{cos^2A}{sin^2A}$

= cot²A = right side , thus proven

PLSSS HELP!! For the given ordered pairs, write a function rule relating x and y. (1,4), (2,9), (3,16), (4,25)

LenKa [72]

Answer:

y=(x+1)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the following

$x=1;y=4\\\\x=2;y=9\\\\x=3;y=16\\\\x=4;y=25$

the values of y are squares so we can write

$x=1;y=2^{2} \\\\x=2;y=3^2\\\\x=3;y=4^2\\\\x=4;y=5^2$

so as you can see when

$x=n;y=(n+1)^2$

so our relation is

$y=(x+1)^2$
