Which statement would produce a tautology?

1 answer:

3 0

Tautology is when something is repeated in a sentence but using different words. It can be used to enrich the sentence but also it can be needless repetition.

5 statements that would produce a tautology:

1. Lets order a toast sandwich.
2. In my opinion, I think he is right.
3. The Gobi is a very dry desert.
4. The hurricane hit in 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
5. Don't worry, everything is well and good.

Answer:

7. A = 40.8 deg; B = 60.6 deg; C = 78.6 deg

8. A = 20.7 deg; B = 127.2 deg; C = 32.1 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosines

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

You know the lengths of the sides, so you know a, b, and c. You can use the law of cosines to find C, the measure of angle C.

Then you can use the law of cosines again for each of the other angles. An easier way to solve for angles A and B is, after solving for C with the law of cosines, solve for either A or B with the law of sines and solve for the last angle by the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg.

We use the law of cosines to find C.

$18^2 = 12^2 + 16^2 - 2(12)(16) \cos C$

$324 = 144 + 256 - 384 \cos C$

$-384 \cos C = -76$

$\cos C = 0.2$

$C = \cos^{-1} 0.2$

$C = 78.6^\circ$

Now we use the law of sines to find angle A.

Law of Sines

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

We know c and C. We can solve for a.

$\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}$

$\dfrac{12}{\sin A} = \dfrac{18}{\sin 78.6^\circ}$

Cross multiply.

$18 \sin A = 12 \sin 78.6^\circ$

$\sin A = \dfrac{12 \sin 78.6^\circ}{18}$

$\sin A = 0.6535$

$A = \sin^{-1} 0.6535$

$A = 40.8^\circ$

To find B, we use

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

40.8 + m<B + 78.6 = 180

m<B = 60.6 deg

I'll use the law of cosines 3 times here to solve for all the angles.

Law of Cosines

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

Find angle A:

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A$

$8^2 = 18^2 + 12^2 - 2(18)(12) \cos A$

$64 = 468 - 432 \cos A$

$\cos A = 0.9352$

$A = 20.7^\circ$

Find angle B:

$b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B$

$18^2 = 8^2 + 12^2 - 2(8)(12) \cos B$

$324 = 208 - 192 \cos A$

$\cos B = -0.6042$

$B = 127.2^\circ$

Find angle C:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C$

$12^2 = 8^2 + 18^2 - 2(8)(18) \cos B$

$144 = 388 - 288 \cos A$

$\cos C = 0.8472$

$C = 32.1^\circ$

A machine operation produces bearings whose diameters are normally distributed, with a mean of 0.497 inch and a standard deviati

eduard

Mean = 0.497 in, SD = 0.003 in
Required diameter ranges between 0.496 in and 0.504 in
Anything other diameter obtained is not acceptable.

That is;
P(x<0.496) and P(x>0.504) are not acceptable.

Now,
P(x<0.496) = P(Z< (0.496-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z<-0.33)
From Z tables, P(Z<-0.33) = 0.3707

Similarly,
P(x>0.504) = P(Z> (0.504-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z>2.33)
From Z tables, P(Z>2.33) = 1-0.9901 = 0.0099

Therefore, unacceptable proportion = P(x<0.496)+P(x>0.504) = 0.3707+0.0099 = 0.3806 or 38.06%
