Answer:

see derivation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that:

( sec(t) - cosec(t) ) ( 1 + tan(t) + cot(t) ) =

sec(t) tan(t) - cosec(t) cot(t)

Some trigonometric definitions used:

tan(t) = sin(t)/cos(t)

cot(t) = cos(t)/sin(t)

sec(t) = 1/cos(t)

csc(t) = 1/sin(t)

some trigonometric identities used:

sin^2(t) + cos^2(t) = 1 ......................(1)

rewrite left-hand side in terms of sine and cosine

(1/cos(t) - 1/sin(t) ) ( 1 + sin(t)/cos(t) + cos(t)/sin(t) )

Simplify using common denominator sin(t)cos(t)

= ( (sin(t) - cos(t))/(sin(t)*cos(t)) ) * ( ( sin(t)cos(t) + sin^2(t) + cos^2(t)) / ( sin(t)cos(t) ) )

= ( sin(t) -cos(t) ) * (1 + sin(t)cos(t) ) / ( sin^2(t) cos^2(t) ) ...... using (1)

Expand by multiplication

= ( sin(t) -cos(t) + sin^2(t)cos(t) - sin(t)cos^2(t) ) / ( sin^2(t) cos^2(t) )

Rearrange by factoring out sin(t) and cos(t) in numerator

= ( sin(t) (1-cos^2(t) - cos(t)(1-sin^2(t) ) / ( sin^2(t) cos^2(t) )

= ( sin^3(t) - cos^3(t) ) /( sin^2(t) cos^2(t) ) .........................using (1)

Cancel common factors

= sin(t)/(cos^2(t)) - cos(t)/(sin^2(t))

Rewrite using trigonometric definitions

= sec(t)tan(t) - csc(t)cot(t) as in Right-Hand Side

Professor Halen teaches a College Mathematics class. The scores on the midterm exam are normally distributed with a mean of 72.3

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 8.9$

What is the probability that a student scores between 82 and 90?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 90 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 82. So

X = 90

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{90 - 73.9}{8.9}$

$Z = 1.81$

$Z = 1.81$ has a pvalue of 0.9649

X = 82

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{82 - 73.9}{8.9}$

$Z = 0.91$

$Z = 0.91$ has a pvalue of 0.8186

0.9649 - 0.8186 = 0.1463

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

If he starts at 1 and jumps 3 units to the right, then where is he on the number line? How far away from zero is he?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

If you mean he starts at 1 on the Y axis (vertical line), then the answer is (1, 3). If you mean he starts at 1 on the X axis (horizontal line), then the answer is (0, 4)
