The expression -8ab evaluates to -12 when a=1/4 and b=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values are;

a = $\frac{1}{4}$ and b = 6

Expression to evaluate;

- 8ab

We will put values of a and b in expression;

$-8ab = -8*\frac{1}{4}*6\\\\-8ab = -\frac{48}{4}\\\\-8ab = -12$

The expression -8ab evaluates to -12 when a=1/4 and b=6.

Pencils are sold in packages of 5 explain why you need 6 packages in order to have enough for 27 students

Semmy [17]

You need 6 packages because 5 packages wont be enough pencils for all of the students. You see, 5 times 5 is 25, and we have 27 students. So we buy 6 and have extra.

Three trigonometric functions for a given angle are shown below. cosecant theta = thirteen-twelfths; secant theta = Negative thi

Kay [80]

Answer:

(–5, 12) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

$cosec\theta = \dfrac{13}{12}\\sec\theta=-\dfrac{13}{5}\\cot\theta =-\dfrac{5}{12}$

Now, we know the following identities:

$sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{cosec\theta}\\cos \theta = \dfrac{1}{sec\theta}\\tan \theta = \dfrac{1}{cot\theta}$

Now, the values are:

$sin\theta = \dfrac{12}{13}\\cos\theta=-\dfrac{5}{13}\\tan\theta =-\dfrac{12}{5}$

Sine value is positive and cos, tan values are negative.

It can be clearly observed that $\theta$ is in 2nd quadrant.

2nd quadrant means, the value of $x$ will be negative and $y$ will be positive.

Let us have a look at the value of $tan\theta$ :

$tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\OR\\tan\theta = \dfrac{y-coordinate}{x-coordinate} = -\dfrac{12}{5}\\\therefore y = 12,\\x = -5$

Please refer to the attached image for clear understanding and detailed explanation.

Hence, the correct answer is coordinate (x,y) is (–5, 12)

Find the missing lengths of the sides.

Anarel [89]

Given:

The figure of a right angle triangle.

$a=b$

Hypotenuse = $9\sqrt{2}$ in.

To find:

The missing lengths of the sides.

Solution:

In the given right angle triangle both legs a and b are equal, and hypotenuse is $9\sqrt{2}$ in.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

$Hyponteuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

$(9\sqrt{2})^2=(a)^2+(b)^2$

$81(2)=(a)^2+(a)^2$ $[\because a=b]$

$81(2)=2(a)^2$

Divide both sides by 2.

$81=(a)^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\pm \sqrt{81}=a$

$\pm 9=a$

Side cannot be negative. So,

$9=a$

Thus, the missing side lengths are a=9 in and b=9 in.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

The Department of Transportation would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of cars on the road is less than 12 year

puteri [66]

Answer:

$z=\frac{10.6-12}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{45}}}=-2.29$

Step-by-step explanation:

information given

$\bar X=10.6$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma=4.1$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=45$ sample size

$\mu_o =12$ represent the value that we want to test

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

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean is less than 12, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 10$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 10$

The statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing the info given we got:

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

$z=\frac{10.6-12}{\frac{4.1}{\sqrt{45}}}=-2.29$
