Answer:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if we have the following data:

12.1, 12.3,12.4,12.5,12.3,12.1,12.2

We see that the data are similar for all the observations so we would expect a small standard deviation

If we calculate the sample mean we can use the following formula:

$\bar X=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X= \frac{12.1+12.3+12.4+12.5+12.3+12.1+12.2}{7}=12.271$

And for the standard deviation we can use the following formula:

$s= \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And after replace we got:

$s = 0.1496$

And as we can ee we got a small value for the deviation <1 on this case.

Suppose that θ is an acute angle of a right triangle and that sec(θ)=52. Find cos(θ) and csc(θ).

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}$

$\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we're going to use trigonometric identities and good ol' Pythagoras theorem.

a) Firstly, sec(θ)=52. we're gonna convert this to cos(θ) using:

$\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$

we can substitute the value of sec(θ) in this equation:

$52 = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}}$

and solve for for cos(θ)

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{52}$

side note: just to confirm we can find the value of θ and verify that is indeed an acute angle by $\theta = \arccos{\left(\dfrac{1}{52}\right)} = 88.8^\circ$

b) since right triangle is mentioned in the question. We can use:

$\cos{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{adj}}{\text{hyp}}$

we know the value of cos(θ)=1\52. and by comparing the two. we can say that:

length of the adjacent side = 1
length of the hypotenuse = 52

we can find the third side using the Pythagoras theorem.

$(\text{hyp})^2=(\text{adj})^2+(\text{opp})^2$

$(52)^2=(1)^2+(\text{opp})^2$

$\text{opp}=\sqrt{(52)^2-1}$

$\text{opp}=\sqrt{2703}$

length of the opposite side = √(2703) ≈ 51.9904

we can find the sin(θ) using this side:

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\text{opp}}{\text{hyp}}$

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2703}}{52}}$

and since $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}}$

$\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{52}{\sqrt{2703}}$

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Answer:

$\frac{4^{21}}{5^6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\frac{4^7}{5^2}\right)^3$

$=\frac{\left(4^7\right)^3}{\left(5^2\right)^3}$

$\left(4^7\right)^3$

$=4^{21}$

$=\frac{4^{21}}{\left(5^2\right)^3}$

$\left(5^2\right)^3$

$5^6$

$=\frac{4^{21}}{5^6}$
