What is the correct value of b ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric identity

cos x = \frac{1}{secx} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{3} } = \frac{3}{5}

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos x = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{3b}{20}

Hence

\frac{3b}{20} = \frac{3}{5} ( cross- multiply )

15b = 60 ( divide both sides by 15 )

b = 4

Mr. Williams trains a group of student athletes. He wants to know how they are improving in the number of push-ups they can do.
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

7.5 more push-ups

Step-by-step explanation:

From the dot plot attached :

Last month mean :

Σfx/Σf

Σfx = [(10*2)+(15*2)+(25*3)+(35*1)] = 160

Σf = (2 + 2 + 3 + 1) = 8

Mean = 160 / 8 = 20

This month mean :

Σfx/Σf

Σfx = [(10*1)+(15*1)+(25*1)+(30*3)+(40*2)] = 220

Σf = (1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2) = 8

Mean = 220/8

Mean = 27.5

Difference in mean :

This month mean - Last month mean

27.5 - 20

= 7.5

Identify the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the quadratic formula to find the solution(s) to a quadratic equation
zlopas [31]

The values are a = 7, b = -9, c = -18.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The given quadratic equation is 7x^{2} - 9x = 18

The general form of the quadratic equation is ax^{2} + bx + c = 0

where,

  • a is the coefficient of x².
  • b is the coefficient of x.
  • c is the constant term.

Now, you have to modify the given quadratic equation similar to the general form of quadratic equation.

So, bring the constant term 18 to the left side of the equation for equating it to zero.

⇒ 7x^{2} - 9x - 18 = 0

Compare the above equation with general form ax^{2} + bx + c = 0

⇒ a = 7

⇒ b = -9

⇒ c = -18

Therefore, the values of a, b, and c are 7, -9 and -18.
