<h2>Solution :- </h2>

Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :

• 2x - 12 = -8

Further solving

→ 2x = -8 + 12

→ 2x = 4 .

→ x = 2

★ Solution :

Let number be n.

$\rule{130}{1}$

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}$

$:\implies\sf 2n - 12 = -8 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = -8 + 12\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf n = \dfrac{4}{2}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf n = 2}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup\bf{Required\: number}\Bigg\rgroup$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The required number is \textbf{2}}}.$

Answer:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We need to determine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (3, -3) with 0°≤ θ < 360°.

We know that the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate. The two dimensions are:

The radial coordinate which is often denoted by r.

The angular coordinate by θ.

So we need to find r and θ. So we know that:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ (1)

x = rcos(θ) (2)

x = rsin(θ) (3)

From the statement we know that (x, y) = (3, -3).

Using the equation (1) we find that:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2}} = 3\sqrt{2}$

Using the equations (2) and (3) we find that:

3 = rcos(θ)

-3 = rsin(θ)

Solving the system of equations:

θ= -45

Then:

r = 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

θ= -45 or 315

Notice that there are two feasible angles, they both have a tangent of -1. The X will take the positive value, and Y the negative one.

So, the solution is:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)

Please help <br>cos40∘=sin(x+30∘)

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

x = 20 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

cos40∘=sin(x+30∘)

sin (x + 30) = 0.766

x + 30 = arcsin 0.766 = 50

x = 50 - 30 = 20.

A tattoo enthusiast website claims that :

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here a case where we need to use Bayes' Theorem and all conditional probabilities related. Roughly speaking, a conditional probability is a kind of probability where an event determines the occurrence of another event. Mathematically:

$\\ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

In the case of the Bayes' Theorem, we have also a conditional probability where one event is the sum of different probabilities.

We have a series of different probabilities that we have to distinguish one from the others:

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is a Millennial is:

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Generation X is:

$\\ P(T|X) = 0.36$

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Boomers is:

$\\ P(T|B) = 0.13$

The probability of being of Millennials is:

$\\ P(M) = 0.22$

The probability of being of Generation X is:

$\\ P(X) = 0.20$

The probability of being of Boomers is:

$\\ P(B) = 0.22$

Therefore, the probability of the event of having a tattoo P(T) is:

$\\ P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M) + P(T|X)*P(X) + P(T|B)*P(B)$

$\\ P(T) = 0.47*0.22 + 0.36*0.20 + 0.13*0.22$

$\\ P(T) = 0.204$

For non-independent events that happen at the same time, we can say that the probability of occurring simultaneously is:

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(M|T)*P(T)$

$\\ P(T \cap M) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

But

$\\ P(M \cap T) = P(T \cap M)$

Then

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

We are asked for the probability that a person is a Millennial given or assuming that they have tattoos or P(M | T). Solving the previous formula for the latter:

$\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)$

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{P(T|M)*P(M)}{P(T)}$

We have already know that

$\\ P(T|M) = 0.47\;P(M) = 0.22\;and\;P(T) = 0.204$ .

Therefore

$\\ P(M|T) = \frac{0.47*0.22}{0.204}$

$\\ P(M|T) = 0.50686 \approx 0.51$

Thus, the probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).
