Mathematics
1 answer:
vodomira [7]4 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 8)(x - 1) = x^2 - x + 8x - 8 = x^2 + 7x - 8.

Hence a = 1, b = 7, c = -8. (Options A, D and E)

The coach has 3 positions to fill on his basketball team. There are 9 students who are interested in being on the team. How many
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students who are interested in being on the team = 9

Number of positions to fill on his basket ball team = 3

So, the combinations of the three positions he can choose for the team is given by

3\times 9=27

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

Find the missing length of the right triangle.<br> a<br> 21<br> 35
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem and solve for a:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 21² = 35²

a² + 441 = 1225

a² = 784

a = 28

So, the missing length is 28.

\bf cos\left[tan^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{5}  \right)+ tan^{-1}\left(\frac{-8}{15}  \right) \right]\\&#10;\left. \qquad  \qquad  \quad   \right.\uparrow \qquad \qquad  \qquad  \uparrow \\&#10;\left. \qquad  \qquad  \quad   \right.\alpha \qquad \qquad  \qquad  \beta&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{that simply means }tan(\alpha)=\cfrac{12}{5}\qquad and\qquad tan(\beta)=\cfrac{-8}{5}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{so, we're really looking for }cos(\alpha+\beta)

now.. hmmm -8/15  is rather ambiguous, since the negative sign is in front of the rational, and either 8 or 15 can be negative, now, we happen to choose the 8 to get the minus, but it could have been 8/-15

ok, well hmm so, the issue boils down to 

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\qquad thus&#10;\\\\\\&#10;tan(\alpha)=\cfrac{12}{5}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite=b}{\leftarrow  adjacent=a}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{so, what is the hypotenuse "c"?}\\&#10;\textit{ well, let's use the pythagorean theorem}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c=\sqrt{25+144}\implies c=\sqrt{169}\implies \boxed{c=13}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{this simply means }\boxed{cos(\alpha)=\cfrac{5}{13}\qquad \qquad sin(\alpha)=\cfrac{12}{13}&#10;}


now, let's take a peek at the second angle, angle β

\bf tan(\beta)=\cfrac{-8}{15}\cfrac{\leftarrow opposite=b}{\leftarrow adjacent=a}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{again, let's find "c", or the hypotenuse}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c=\sqrt{15^2+(-8)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{289}\implies \boxed{c=17}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;thus\qquad \boxed{cos(\beta)=\cfrac{15}{17}\qquad \qquad sin(\beta)=\cfrac{-8}{17}}

now, with that in mind, let's use the angle sum identity for cosine

\bf cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})= cos({{ \alpha}})cos({{ \beta}})- sin({{ \alpha}})sin({{ \beta}})\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})= \left( \cfrac{5}{13} \right)\left( \cfrac{15}{17} \right)-\left( \cfrac{12}{13} \right)\left( \cfrac{-8}{17} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})= \cfrac{75}{221}-\cfrac{-96}{221}\implies cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})= \cfrac{75}{221}+\cfrac{96}{221}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})=\cfrac{171}{221}}

if a statistic used to estimate a paramter is such that the mean of its sampling distrubution is equal to the true value of the
Anna [14]

Answer:

Is unbiased estimator

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, Numerical characteristics derived from population data is referred to as parameter, while those derived from the sample data are called statistic. When a sample is drawn from a particular population, the statistic of such sample could be used as either a point or interval estimate of the population. However, the estimator derived from the sample in most cases isn't equal to the exact parameter value. When this happens, that is, when population parameter equals the estimate of the sample statistic, then we have an unbiased estimator.
