Answer:

204/325

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work this a couple of ways. We expect you are probably expected to use trig identities.

cos(A) = √(1 -sin²(A)) = 24/25

sin(B) = √(1 -cos²(B)) = 12/13

cos(A -B) = cos(A)cos(B) +sin(A)sin(B) = (24/25)(5/13) +(7/25)(12/13)

= (24·5 +7·12)/325

cos(A -B) = 204/325

The other way to work this is using inverse trig functions. It is necessary to carry the full calculator precision if you want an exact answer.

cos(A -B) = cos(arcsin(7/25) -arccos(5/13)) = cos(16.2602° -67.3801°)

= cos(-51.1199°) ≈ 0.62769230 . . . . (last 6 digits repeating)

The denominators of 25 and 13 suggest that the desired fraction will have a denominator of 25·13 = 325, so we can multiply this value by 325 to see what we get.

325·cos(A-B) = 204

so, the exact value is ...

cos(A -B) = 204/325

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract-13 from -13 get zero

then, subtract 13 from 77 =64

then do divide 15 from 15

The distribution of the amount of money spent by first-time gamblers at a major casino in las vegas is approximately normal in s

Lostsunrise [7]

Solution: We are given:

$\mu=600, \sigma =120$

We need to find the z value corresponding to probability 0.84, in order to find the how much money almost 84% of gamblers spent at casino.

Using the standard normal table, we have:

$z(0.85) = 0.9945$

Now we will use the z score formula to find the required amount:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$0.9945=\frac{x-600}{120}$

$0.9945 \times 120 = x - 600$

$119.34 = x - 600$

$x = 600 + 119.34$

$x = 719.34$

$x = 720$ approximately

Therefore, almost 84% of gamblers spent more than $720 amount of money at this casino.

The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is

Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

$r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2$

r2=(third term)/(second term)

$r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2$

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

$r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2$

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

$r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2$

we can see that all four ratios are same

$r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2$

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

$r=2$

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

$a_1=2$

now, we can use formula

$a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}$

we can plug values

and we get

$a_n=2(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n}$ ..................Answer
