Answer: n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2n+4=12

We want to solve for n. The first step is to make 2n stand alone on the left hand side of the equation. This is achieved by subtracting 4 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes

2n + 4 - 4=12 - 4

2n = 8

The next step is to divide the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2. It becomes

2n/2 = 8/2

n = 4

Solve the trigonometric equation:

$\mathsf{\sqrt{2\,tan\,x\,cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot \dfrac{sin\,x}{cos\,x}\cdot cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x}=tan\,x\qquad\quad(i)}$

Restriction for the solution:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{sin\,x\ge 0}\\\\ \mathsf{tan\,x\ge 0} \end{array} \right.$

Square both sides of (i):

$\mathsf{(\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x})^2=(tan\,x)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x=tan^2\,x}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x-tan^2\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{2\cdot sin\,x\cdot cos^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}-\dfrac{sin^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left(2\,cos^2\,x-sin\,x \right )=0\qquad\quad but~~cos^2 x=1-sin^2 x}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\cdot (1-sin^2\,x)-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2-2\,sin^2\,x-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{-\,\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{sin\,x\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}$

Let

$\mathsf{sin\,x=t\qquad (0\le t$

So the equation becomes

$\mathsf{t\cdot (2t^2+t-2)=0\qquad\quad (ii)}\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0} \end{array}$

Solving the quadratic equation:

$\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0}\quad\longrightarrow\quad\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{a=2}\\ \mathsf{b=1}\\ \mathsf{c=-2} \end{array} \right.$

$\mathsf{\Delta=b^2-4ac}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-2)}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1+16}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=17}$

$\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{2\cdot 2}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{4}}\\\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{4}}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1-\sqrt{17}}{4}} \end{array}$

You can discard the negative value for t. So the solution for (ii) is

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}} \end{array}$

Substitute back for t = sin x. Remember the restriction for x:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{sin\,x=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{sin\,x=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}}\\\\ \mathsf{x=0+k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=arcsin\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\bigg)+k\cdot 360^\circ}\\\\\\ \mathsf{x=k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=51.33^\circ +k\cdot 360^\circ}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{solution.} \end{array}$

where k is an integer.

I hope this helps. =)

A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$X=1$ number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$n=5$ random sample taken

$\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$ estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

$p$ true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

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 population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical values would be given by:

$t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56$

And rounded up we have that n=6147

please help :) Which sentence is true? A. 9.46 times 10 to the 12 power > 4.0 times 10 to the 13 power B. 9.46 times 10 to th

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is simple because they use powers of 10. When something is multiplied by a power of ten, it is essentially moving the decimal point over for every power.

9.46x10^12= 9460000000000

4.0x10^13= 40000000000000

Although 4 itself is less than 9.46, since is is being multiplied by 10^13, it will be one decimal place bigger.
