Answer:

\sin \theta=-\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle is in standard position which means the starting ray is at the origin. The terminal side has coordinates (3, -4).

So, the 'x' value is 3 and 'y' value id -4.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we find the hypotenuse.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5

Now, using the sine ratio for the angle, we have

\sin \theta=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}\\\sin \theta=\frac{-4}{5}\\\sin \theta=-\frac{4}{5}

Therefore, the value of \sin \theta is -\frac{4}{5}.

The value is negative as the point (3, -4) lies in the fourth quadrant and sine ratio is negative in the fourth quadrant,

The answer would be (y + 14) (y - 8) because when multiplied it gives you
 y^2 + 6y - 112

Hope this helps :)

The standard deviation is expressed in absolute terms (i.e. in the same unit of measure as the data: lbs;inches;dollars;etc) whi
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) True

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is true.

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

The standard deviation express the variation of data from the mean and therefore, have the same unit as the data like lbs, inches, dollars, etc.

Coefficient of variation on the other hand is the ratio of standard deviation and mean. It is also a measure of dispersion but since it is a ratio, the units cancel each other.

C.V = \dfrac{s}{\bar{x}}

Thus, coefficient of variation is dimensionless.

Thus, it is a relative measure.

Hopeful this makes seance to one of ya'll
Len [333]

Answer:

NOR = 126.6

Step-by-step explanation:

one full circle would have 360 degrees

so we can make an equation that shows all of our angles adding up to 360:

NOQ + QOR + NOR = 360

we know that NOQ is 147.7

we know that QOR is 85.7

substitute these into our equation:

147.7 + 85.7 + NOR = 360

add like terms:

233.4 + NOR = 360

subtract 233.4 from both sides:

NOR = 126.6
