\bf \textit{Double Angle Identities}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;cos(2\theta)=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)\\&#10;1-2sin^2(\theta)\\&#10;\boxed{2cos^2(\theta)-1}&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;tan(2\theta)=\cfrac{2tan(\theta)}{1-tan^2(\theta)}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;

\bf cos(2\theta)=\cfrac{5}{6}\implies 2cos^2(\theta)-1=\cfrac{5}{6}\implies 2cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{5}{6}+1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{11}{6}\implies cos^2(\theta)=\cfrac{11}{12}\implies cos(\theta)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{11}{12}}


now, bear in mind, the square root gives us +/- versions, so, which is it? well, we know the angle is in the range of "<span>0 ≤ θ < π/2", that simply means the 1st quadrant, so, we'll use the positive one then

</span>\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{12}}\implies cos(\theta)=\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2\sqrt{3}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{now, let's rationalize the denominator}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{11}\cdot \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3^2}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{11\cdot 33}}{2\cdot 3}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{\sqrt{33}}{6}}<span>

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from so
alexgriva [62]

Solution :

Let p_1 and p_2  represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing 3\% and 5\% mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis H_0: p_1=p_2 against the alternate hypothesis  H_1:p_1 \neq p_2 .

Let \hat p_1, \hat p_2 denotes the respective sample proportions and the n_1, n_2 represents the sample size respectively.

$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419

n_1=155

$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839

n_2=155

The test statistic can be written as :

$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}

which under H_0  follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance, if the P-value or if |z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = \pm 1.959964

P-value = $P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$

                                     $=2 \times 0.085667$

                                     = 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and $|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$, so we fail to reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the \text{proportion} of the seeds that \text{germinate differs} with the percent of the \text{mushroom compost} in the soil.

The area of a circle is 144 π cm2 what is the diameter of the circle
never [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = pi × r²

144 pi cm² = pi × r²

144 pi ÷ pi = r 2

root 144 = r

12 cm = r

diameter = 2r = 2(12) = 24 cm

How many gallons of pure water should be added to 10 gallons of a solution containing 15% juice so that the remaining solution c
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

10 gallons of solution w/ 15% juice means 1.5 gal of juice

to make it into 5%, multiply 1.5 by 20

1.5 x 20 = 30

5% of 30 gallons is 1.5 since 10% of 30 is 3.

Since there was already 10 gallons, the # of gallons of pure water added should be 20 gal.

I hope this helps thanks
