Answer:

(x,y) = (r,\theta)\\

i)(4,-4) = (\pm 4\sqrt{2},\dfrac{7 \pi}{4})\\

ii) (-1, \sqrt{3}) = (\pm 2,\dfrac{2 \pi}{4})\\

Thinking Process:

This can either be solved using complex variables or simply trigonometry (they are all the same in a way)

(a,b) = a + ib = r(\cos{(\theta)} + i\sin{(\theta)}) = r e^{(i \theta)} = r\angle{\theta}

But we'll simply go with trigonometry and good old Pythagorean theorem.

Solution:

For Cartesian coordinates are: (x,y)

To covert them into r \angle{\theta}

We can use:

  • The Pythagoras theorem to find r

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

  • Arctangent to find \theta

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

These are related since:

x = r\cos{(\theta)}

y = r\sin{(\theta)}

So, let's start solving:

Part a) (4,-4)

For r:

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{4^2 + (-4)^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{32}

r = \pm 4 \sqrt{2}

i) for r > 0 we'll go with r = + 4\sqrt{2}

ii) for r < 0 we'll go with r = - 4\sqrt{2}

For theta:

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{-4}{4}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{(-1)}

\theta = -45\texdegree \,\, or -\dfrac{\pi}{4} radians

One thing to keep in mind is that the point (4,-4) lies in the 4th quadrant of the xy-plane, and the range given for \theta is 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi . So we have to add 2 \pi to our answer (we have gone around the circle and stopped at the same place as -\frac{\pi}{4} radians)

\theta=-\dfrac{\pi}{4} + 2 \pi radians

\theta=\dfrac{7\pi}{4} radians

The Answer for part(a) is (\pm 4\sqrt{2}, \dfrac{7 \pi}{4})

Part b) (-1, sqrt(3))

For r:

r = \pm \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2}

r = \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2}

i) r = +2 for r > 0

ii) r = -2 for r < 0

For theta:

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)}

\theta = \tan^{-1}{\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{-1}\right)}

\theta = -\dfrac{\pi}{3} this not in range of theta: 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi.

and the point (-1, \sqrt{3}) lies in the 2nd quadrant, so we can add \pi radians to our answer

\theta = -\dfrac{\pi}{3} + \pi in range: 0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi

\theta = \dfrac{2 \pi}{3}

The Answer for part(b) is (\pm 2, \dfrac{2 \pi}{3})

The number of gallons of carbonated soft drink consumed per person annually is normally distributed with mean 47.5 and standard
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

P(45

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(-0.714

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.714

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the number of gallons of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(47.5,3.5)  

Where \mu=47.5 and \sigma=3.5

We are interested on this probability

P(45

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(45

And we can find this probability with the following difference:

P(-0.714

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.714

Find the image of triangle GHJ under the translation of (X,Y) ——&gt; ( x-1, y-8)
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

triangle KLM

Step-by-step explanation:

Take one point on the initial triangle and move it according to the given translation to locate the image. I used point G. Its coordinate plot is at

(2,3). I perform the operation of the given translation to this. (X1-X2, y1-y2).

So, (2-1, 3-8). The new coordinates will be (1,-5) and the only triangle with these coordinates is triangle KLM.
