Answer:

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly with x, it is:

y = kx

Constant is -2, it means k= -2

y = - 2x

Use the trigonometric ratios since, cosine, and tangent to answer the following questions.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1.

The sine of an angle is defined as; Opposite side/the Hypotenuse. From the right angle triangle given; sin x =5/13.

The cosine of an angle is defined as; Adjacent side/Hypotenuse. From the right angle triangle given; cos x =12/13.

The tangent of an angle is defined as; Opposite side/Adjacent side. From the right angle triangle given; tan x =5/12.

Part 2.

We use the same definitions of the trigonometric ratios above;

sin y =12/13

cos y =5/13

tan y =12/5

Part 3.

The sin∠X and the cos∠Y are equal, their value is 5/13. The sine of angle is always equal to the cosine of its complement. In this case, ∠X+∠Y =90 hence ∠X is a complement of ∠Y.

Part 4.

The tangents of ∠X and ∠Y are inverses of each other. The tangent of an angle will always be equal to the inverse or reciprocal of the tangent of its complement.

The system of equations is inconsistent.

Artist 52 [7]

There are an infinite numbers of solutions. The only information given in the second equation is the y-intercept of y =5 where the second line crosses the y-axis. And there are an infinite number of lines crossing that point and also intersecting the first linear equation.

Holly has $462 in her bank account and takes out $15 each week but does not put any back in. Write an equation/expression to rep

Degger [83]

Answer:

Therefore required expression is

y =462 - t×15

where y represents the amount of money in her bank account in dollar after t week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Holly has $462 in her bank account and takes out $15 each week but does not put any back in.

She takes out $15 on first week.

The remaining amount of her bank account is =$(462-15)

=$(462 - 1×15)

If she withdraws $15 on second week.

The remaining amount of her bank account is =$(462-15-15)

=$(462 - 2×15)

Similarly after third the amount in her account is =$(462 - 3×15)

From the above it is cleared that

The amount in her account after t week is

=$(462 - t×15)

Therefore required expression is

y =462 - t×15

where y represents the amount of money in her bank account in dollar after t week.

The mean weight of an adult is 69 kilograms with a variance of 121. If 31 adults are randomly selected, what is the probability

amid [387]

Answer:

0.2236 = 22.36% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 70.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Also, important to remember that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
