Soloha48 [4]3 years ago

Answer:

x=2

y=3

Solution:

First we find common denominators. It is "xy". Then we multiply numerators by common denominator. We get followings:

(4y-3x)/xy=1; (6y+15x)/xy=8

Then

4y-3x=xy;

6y+15=8xy

Multiply first equasion by 5

20y-15x=5xy

Now we add two equasions to get one

20y-15x=5xy

6y+15x=8xy

We get

26y=13xy

Cut "y" and we will find "x"

26=13x

x=2

Put x value into the first equasion(4y-3x=xy) to find out "y"

4y-6=2y

2y=6

y=3

A sample of final exam scores is normally distributed with a mean equal to 23 and a variance equal to 16. Part (a) What percenta

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Let X = score of final exam.

X~normal(23, 16)

(a)

percentage of score between 19 and 27

= P(19 < X < 27)

= P((19-23) / sqrt(16) < Z < (27 - 23) / sqrt(16))

= P(-1 < Z < 1)

= 1 - P(Z <= -1) - P(Z >= 1)

= 1 - P(Z >= 1) - P(Z >= 1)

= 1 - 2*P(Z >= 1)

= 1 - 2(0.1587)

= 0.6826

= 68.26%

According to Normal Distribution Table

P(Z>=1) = 1 - P(Z<1) = 1-0.8413

So the final percentage is 68.26%

Sin(A+B) sin(A-B) /sin^A Cos^B=1-cot^A Tan^B

telo118 [61]

In order to prove

$\dfrac{\sin(x+y)\sin(x-y)}{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(x)}=1-\cot^2(x)\tan^2(y)$

Let's write both sides in terms of $\sin(x),\ \sin^2(x),\ \cos(x),\ \cos^2(x)$ only.

Let's start with the left hand side: we can use the formula for sum and subtraction of the sine to write

$\sin(x+y)=\cos(y)\sin(x)+\cos(x)\sin(y)$

and

$\sin(x-y)=\cos(y)\sin(x)-\cos(x)\sin(y)$

So, their multiplication is

$\sin(x+y)\sin(x-y)=(\cos(y)\sin(x))^2-(\cos(x)\sin(y))^2\\=\cos^2(y)\sin^2(x)-\cos^2(x)\sin^2(y)$

So, the left hand side simplifies to

$\dfrac{\cos^2(y)\sin^2(x)-\cos^2(x)\sin^2(y)}{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(y)}$

Now, on with the right hand side. We have

$1-\cot^2(x)\tan^2(y)=1-\dfrac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin^2(x)}\cdot\dfrac{\sin^2(y)}{\cos^2(y)} = 1-\dfrac{\cos^2(x)\sin^2(y)}{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(y)}$

Now simply make this expression one fraction:

$1-\dfrac{\cos^2(x)\sin^2(y)}{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(y)}=\dfrac{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(y)-\cos^2(x)\sin^2(y)}{\sin^2(x)\cos^2(y)}$

And as you can see, the two sides are equal.
