Answer:

D. cosine

Step-by-step explanation:

As it can be seen in the figure, the triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle with Angle C = 90 degree.

In a right angle triangle, there is a formula as following:

<em>cosine (of an acute angle) = length of adjacent side/ length of hypotenuse</em>

In the figure, the point of angle B and length of hypotenuse AB are given.

We have to calculate x - length of the given side. As BC is the adjacent side of angle B

=> we can use the above formula to calculate x

So that we can use cosine

What are the fourth roots of 6+6√(3i) ?

Helen [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The genral form of a complex number in rectangular plane is expressed as z = x+iy

In polar coordinate, z =rcos ∅+irsin∅ where;

r is the modulus = √x²+y²

∅ is teh argument = arctan y/x

Given thr complex number z = 6+6√(3)i

r = √6²+(6√3)²

r = √36+108

r = √144

r = 12

∅ = arctan 6√3/6

∅ = arctan √3

∅ = 60°

In polar form, z = 12(cos60°+isin60°)

z = 12(cosπ/3+isinπ/3)

To get the fourth root of the equation, we will use the de moivres theorem; zⁿ = rⁿ(cosn∅+isinn∅)

z^1/4 = 12^1/4(cosπ/12+isinπ/12)

When n = 1;

z1 = 12^1/4(cosπ/3+isinn/3)

z1 = 12^1/4cis(π/3)

when n = 2;

z2 = 12^1/4(cos2π/3+isin2π/3)

z2 = 12^1/4cis(2π/3)

when n = 3;

z2 = 12^1/4(cosπ+isinπ)

z2 = 12^1/4cis(π)

when n = 4;

z2 = 12^1/4(cos4π/3+isin4π/3)

z2 = 12^1/4cis(4π/3)

Sarah claims that the thickness of the spearmint gum she produces is 7.5 one-hundredths of an inch. A quality control specialist

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

Data: 7.65, 7.60, 7.65, 7.7, 7.55, 7.55, 7.4, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5

We can begin calculating the sample mean given by:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And the sample deviation given by:

$s=\sart{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And we got:

$\bar X=7.55$ represent the sample mean

$s=0.103$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ sample size

$\mu_o =7.5$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ 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 mean is equal to 7.5 or no, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 7.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 7.5$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

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

$t=\frac{7.55-7.5}{\frac{0.103}{\sqrt{10}}}=1.539$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(9)}>1.539)=0.158$

Conclusion

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