The population ten years ago was 6,000.

Because the population doubled you divide 12,000 by 2

12,000 / 2 = 6,000

Over the past 10 years it has doubled in size...so ten years ago it was half the size it is now. it is now 12,000....so 10 yrs ago it would have been 6,000

Richard has a rectangular plot of land that is 525 feet long and y feet wide. He decides to build a fence around the plot. If th
mart [117]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P= 2(L) + 2(w)

1504= 2(525) + 2(w)

1540= 1050 + 2(w)

1540 - 1050= 2(w)

490 = 2(w)

490/2 = w

245 = w

w is y

L is 525

Find the direction cosines and direction angles of the vector. (Give the direction angles correct to the nearest degree.) 5, 1,
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The direction cosines are:

\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }  and  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }  with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°,  81° and  52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given vector a = ai + aj + ak, its direction cosines are the cosines of the angles which it makes with the x, y and z axes.

If a makes angles α, β, and γ (which are the direction angles) with the x, y and z axes respectively, then its direction cosines are: cos α, cos β and cos γ in the x, y and z axes respectively.

Where;

cos α = \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|}               ---------------------(i)

cos β = \frac{a.j}{|a||j|}               ---------------------(ii)

cos γ = \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|}             ----------------------(iii)

<em>And from these we can get the direction angles as follows;</em>

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|} )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.j}{|a||j|} )

γ = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|} )

Now to the question:

Let the given vector be

a = 5i + j + 4k

a . i =  (5i + j + 4k) . (i)

a . i = 5         [a.i <em>is just the x component of the vector</em>]

a . j = 1            [<em>the y component of the vector</em>]

a . k = 4          [<em>the z component of the vector</em>]

<em>Also</em>

|a|. |i| = |a|. |j| = |a|. |k| = |a|           [since |i| = |j| = |k| = 1]

|a| = \sqrt{5^2 + 1^2 + 4^2}

|a| = \sqrt{25 + 1 + 16}

|a| = \sqrt{42}

Now substitute these values into equations (i) - (iii) to get the direction cosines. i.e

cos α = \frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }

cos β =  \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }              

cos γ =  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }

From the value, now find the direction angles as follows;

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a . i}{|a| . |i|} )

α =  cos⁻¹ ( \frac{5}{\sqrt{42} } )

α =  cos⁻¹ (\frac{5}{6.481} )

α =  cos⁻¹ (0.7715)

α = 39.51

α = 40°

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.j}{|a||j|} )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} } )

β = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{1}{6.481 } )

β = cos⁻¹ ( 0.1543 )

β = 81.12

β = 81°

γ = cos⁻¹ ( \frac{a.k}{|a|.|k|} )

γ = cos⁻¹ (\frac{4}{\sqrt{42} })

γ = cos⁻¹ (\frac{4}{6.481})

γ = cos⁻¹ (0.6172)

γ = 51.89

γ = 52°

<u>Conclusion:</u>

The direction cosines are:

\frac{5}{\sqrt{42} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{42} }  and  \frac{4}{\sqrt{42} }  with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

The direction angles are:

40°,  81° and  52° with respect to the x, y and z axes respectively.

I’m having a hard time with this. Is this a typo by the teacher or should I actually be looking for a size?
Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 games in the population.  You need to use a random number generator to choose 2 of these games.

RandomSample[{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12},2]

Let's say the first sample you get is {1,5}.  That corresponds to game times of 8 minutes and 7 minutes.  The mean game time for that sample is 7.5 minutes.  So the first row in your table would be:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Sample&List\ of\ Game\ Times&Mean\ Game\ Time\\1&8,7&7.5\end{array}\right]
