7 0

<u>Given:</u>

Take west to be the positive direction. The height of a sloped roof above the place where you stand is 12  feet. If you move 3 feet west, the height is 10 feet.

We need to determine the slope.

Let x denote the standing place.

Let y denote the height.

Writing the given as coordinates, we get;

(0,12) and (3,10)

<u>Slope</u>:

The slope can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the coordinates (0,12) and (3,10), we have;

m=\frac{10-12}{3-0}

m=\frac{-2}{3}

Thus, the slope is m=-\frac{2}{3}

Find the value of tanθ, if cosθ = 4/5 ; 0° ≤ θ&lt; 90°
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

  • 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u>

  • cosθ = 4/5
  • 0° ≤ θ < 90°

<u>In the first quadrant both sine and cosine are positive, so as tangent.</u>

  • tanθ = sinθ / cosθ =
  • \sqrt{1 - cos^2}θ / cosθ =
  • \sqrt{1 - (4/5)^2} / 4/5 =
  • \sqrt{9/25} / 4/5 =
  • 3/5*5/4 =
  • 3/4

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00
timama [110]

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067
