X is a positive acute angle. That means x is located in the first quadrant and has positive value in sin, cos, tan.

The formula of trigonometry ratio
cos x = \dfrac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
sin x = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

From the formula of cosine
cos x = \dfrac{3}{5}
\dfrac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}= \dfrac{3}{5}
from the formula above, adjacent side is 3 units, and hypotenuse is 5 units

Draw a right triangle to illustrate the location of the sides. See image attached.

To find the ratio of sine, we need to find the length of opposite side using pythagorean theorem
3² + (opposite)² = 5²
9 + (opposite)² = 25
(opposite)² = 25 - 9
(opposite)² = 16
opposite = 4
The length of opposite side is 4 units

Find sin x
sin x = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
sin x = \dfrac{4}{5}

Answer:

The correct answer is "0.0000039110".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Y_n\rightarrow N(\mu, \sigma^2)

\mu = 40n

\sigma^2=100n

n=20

then,

The required probability will be:

= P(Y_{20}>1000)

= P(\frac{Y_{20}-\mu}{\sigma} >\frac{1000-40\times 20}{\sqrt{100\times 20} } )

= P(Z>\frac{1000-800}{44.7214} )

= P(Z>\frac{200}{44.7214} )

= P(Z>4.47)

By using the table, we get

= 0.0000039110

Two numbers total 86 and have a difference of 12. Find the two numbers.
mestny [16]
Let the two numbers be x and y.

x + y = 86
+
x - y = 12
_________
2x + 0 = 98
__________


2x = 98

x = 98/2
 
x = 49


From    x + y = 86

49 + y = 86

y = 86 - 49

y = 37

The numbers are 49 and 37.
