$A= \frac{1}{2}ap \ \to \ 2A =ap \ \to \ \boxed{a= \frac{2A}{p}}$

Just took the quiz.

The answer is a=2A/p

(I know this question has been answered already but I needed points. Plus it always helps to have an extra answer for reassurance..yw.) :]

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value

Tatiana [17]

Given:

$\cos 15^{\circ}$

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}$

Using half-angle identity:

$$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}$

$$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}$

Using the trigonometric identity: $\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

$$=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}$

Using fraction rule: $\frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}$

$$=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}$

Apply radical rule: $\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}$

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}$

Using $\sqrt{4} =2$ :

$$=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

$$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}$

Sweet noticed the ratio of long boards to short boards was 1:4. If there were 35 surfboards at the beach , how many were short b

andre [41]

So the ratio to longboard to short board is 1:4, the total of that ratio is 5. 35 ÷ 5 = 7. now we're going to take those ratios and multiply 1 × 7 = 7 and 4 × 7 = 28. Your final answer is B. to confirm your answer add 28 + 7.

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of employees exceeded their sales quota = 17

Number of employees met their sales quota = 13

Number of employees didn't exceed their sales quota = 3

Now, we need to find the ratio of the number employees who exceeded their sales quota to the number of employees who didn't exceed their sales quota,

$17:13 + 3\\=17:16$

So, Option 'A' is correct.

please answer asap! A couple plans to have 5 children. The gender of each child is equally likely. Design a simulation involving

dimulka [17.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.
