You can just set y=0 and solve for x. when you do this you should get 1/2x^2=4
x^2=8
x=2.8 and -2.8 ( you have both a positive number and negative number since (-2.8)^2=(2.8)^2 =8
I hope this helps

Find the exact value of the indicated trigonometric function of θ.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = -1/√35

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

(1/6)² + cos²θ = 1

1 - (1/6)² = cos²θ

35/36 = cos²θ

sec θ = 1/ cosθ

1/ secθ = cos θ

Because secθ < 0, 1/ secθ would also be < 0, so cos θ < 0

cosθ = -√(35/36)

tanθ = sinθ/cosθ = (1/6)/-√(35/36)

= (1/6) / -(√35/6)

= -1/√35

Now, you will consider Option 1, setting a maximum shower time of 10 minutes.

matrenka [14]

The maximum shower time is an illustration of mean and median, and the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

<h3>How to interpret the shower time?</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the dataset (and the data elements) are not given.

So, I will answer this question using the following (assumed) dataset:

Shower time (in minutes): 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 13, 15,

Calculate the mean:

Mean = Sum/Count

So, we have:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 12+ 12+ 12+ 13+ 15)/13

Mean = 9.8

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the question, we have the following assumptions:

The shower time of students whose shower times are above 10 minutes, is 10 minutes
Other shower time remains unchanged.

So, the dataset becomes: 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

The mean is:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10)/13

Mean = 8.7

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the above computation, we have the following table:

Initial Final

Mean 9.8 8.7

Median 9 9

Notice that the mean value changed, but it did not go below 8 as claimed by Blake; while the median remains unchanged.

Hence, the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim
