Find the exact value of tan (arcsin (two fifths))

Mathematics

There are 2 ways to do this:

1) Transform tan into terms of sin.
tan x = \frac{sin x}{cos x} = \frac{sin x}{\sqrt{1-sin^2 x}}
where sin x = sin(sin^{-1} (\frac{2}{5})) = \frac{2}{5}
Substituting back in gives:
tan x = \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{2}{5})^2}} = \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\sqrt{\frac{21}{25}}} = \frac{2}{5}*\frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{21}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}}


2) Use a right triangle.
\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{2}{5}) \\  \\ sin \theta = \frac{2}{5}
sin = opp/hyp --> opp = 2, hyp = 5
Use Pythagorean theorem to solve for adjacent side.
adj = \sqrt{5^2 - 2^2} = \sqrt{21}
tan = opp/adj
tan \theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}}

Answer:

(1) Variance = 4.5 and Standard deviation = 2.121.

(2) Variance = 4.5 and Standard deviation = 2.121.

(3) The effect on the measure of dispersion if each value is changed uniformly ​is that it remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following set of data below;

              X                     X-\bar X                   (X-\bar X)^{2}

              5                   5 - 8 = -3                     9

              5                   5 - 8 = -3                     9

              8                   8 - 8 = 0                      0

             10                  10 - 8 = 2                     4

             10                  10 - 8 = 2                     4

             10                  10 - 8 = 2                     4

              9                   9 - 8 = 1                       1

              9                   9 - 8 = 1                       1

         <u>     6     </u>              6 - 8 = -2             <u>        4       </u>          

Total <u>    72     </u>                                         <u>       36       </u>

<u>Firstly, the mean of the above data is given by;</u>

              Mean, \bar X  =  \frac{\sum X}{n}

                              =  \frac{72}{9}  = 8

(1)Now, the variance of the given data is;

            Variance  =  \frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1}

                                  =  \frac{36}{9-1}  = 4.5

So, the standard deviation, (S.D.)  =  \sqrt{\text{Variance}}

                                                        =  \sqrt{4.5} = 2.12

(2) Now, each value is added by 2; so the new data set is given by;

              X                     X-\bar X                   (X-\bar X)^{2}

              7                   7 - 10 = -3                     9

              7                   7 - 10 = -3                     9

             10                  10 - 10 = 0                     0

             12                  12 - 10 = 2                     4

             12                  12 - 10 = 2                     4

             12                  12 - 10 = 2                     4

              11                  11 - 10 = 1                       1

              11                  11 - 10 = 1                       1

         <u>     8     </u>              8 - 10 = -2             <u>        4       </u>          

Total <u>    90     </u>                                         <u>       36       </u>

<u>Firstly, the mean of the above data is given by;</u>

              Mean, \bar X  =  \frac{\sum X}{n}

                              =  \frac{90}{9}  = 10

(1)Now, the variance of the given data is;

            Variance  =  \frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1}

                                  =  \frac{36}{9-1}  = 4.5

So, the new standard deviation, (S.D.)  =  \sqrt{\text{Variance}}

                                                                =  \sqrt{4.5} = 2.12

(3) The effect on the measure of dispersion if each value is changed uniformly ​is that it remains unchanged as we see in the case of variance or standard deviation.

The measure of the angles of a triangle are given as 2x°, 3x°, and 4x°. What are the measures of each angle?
zmey [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

For triangle total degree=180°

2x+3x+4x=180

You get x=20°

Hence angles respective are..

40°,60°,80°

The length of the side sqaure A is 50% OF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE SQUARE b
UNO [17]

Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.

Then, the area of square A can be written as , and the area of square B can be written as .

There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:

= 1/4 = 25%

So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question
