What are the values of sin α and tan α, if: cosα=0.6

Mathematics

Positive cosine is first or fourth quadrant.  So we don't know the sign of the sine or the tangent.

Everybody's favorite right triangle is 3/4/5 and here we have

\left(\dfrac 3 5 \right)^2 + \left(\dfrac 4 5 \right)^2 = 1

So if

\cos \alpha = 0.6 = \dfrac 3 5

then

\sin \alpha = \pm \dfrac{4}{5} = \pm 0.8

and

\tan \alpha = \dfrac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} = \dfrac{\pm 0.8}{0.6}=\pm \dfrac 4 3

5x-3x(26x-7x-28x) systems of equation
labwork [276]

Simplifying
5x + 2(8x + -9) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
5x + 2(-9 + 8x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-9 * 2 + 8x * 2) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-18 + 16x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 5x + 16x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)

Combine like terms: 5x + 16x = 21x
-18 + 21x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 3(4 + x) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (4 * 3 + x * 3) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (12 + 3x) + -5(2x + 7)

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + -5(7 + 2x)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (7 * -5 + 2x * -5)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (-35 + -10x)

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + -35 + 3x + -10x

Combine like terms: 12 + -35 = -23
-18 + 21x = -23 + 3x + -10x

Combine like terms: 3x + -10x = -7x
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x

Solving
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 21x + 7x = -23 + -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: 21x + 7x = 28x
-18 + 28x = -23 + -7x + 7x

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-18 + 28x = -23 + 0
-18 + 28x = -23

Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 18 + 28x = -23 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + 28x = -23 + 18
28x = -23 + 18

Combine like terms: -23 + 18 = -5
28x = -5

Divide each side by '28'.

. The sandwich shop offers 8 different sandwiches. Jamey likes them all equally. He picks one randomly each day for lunch. Durin
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A sandwich shop offers eight types of sandwiches, and Jamey likes all of them equally.

The probability that Jamey picks any one of them is 1/8

Suppose

X represents the number of times he chooses salami

Y represents the number of times he chooses falafel

Z represents the number of times he chooses veggie

Then  X+Y+Z ≤ 5 and;

5-X-Y-Z represents the no. of time he chooses the remaining

8 - 3 = 5 sandwiches

However, the objective is to determine the P[X=x,Y=y,Z=z] such that 0≤x,y,z≤5

So, since he chooses x no. of salami sandwiches with probability (1/8)x

and y number of falafel with probability (1/8)y

and for z (1/8)z

Therefore, the remaining sandwiches are chosen with probability \dfrac{5}{8} (5-x-y-z)

So. these x days, y days and z days can be arranged within five days in

= \dfrac{5!}{x!y!z!(5-x-y-z)!}

Thus;

P[X=x,Y=y,Z=z]=  \dfrac{5!}{x!y!z!(5-x-y-z)}  \times \dfrac{1}{8}x*\dfrac{1}{8}y* \dfrac{1}{8}z* \dfrac{5}{8}(5-x-y-z)

since 0 ≤ x, y, z ≤ 5 and x + y + z ≤ 5.

The distribution is said to be Multinomial distribution.

Solve -2x + 6 = -20. -7 -13 7 13
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 6 = -20

Step 1 subtract 6 from both sides

6 - 6 cancels out

-20 - 6 = -26

We now have -2x = -26

Step 2 divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = x

-26/-2 = 13

We're left with x = 13
