Answer:

a. $2.18

b. $15.60

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Price per pound of American cheese = $4.35 / 0.75 = $5.8

Price per pound of Swiss cheese = $7.98

Difference in price per pound = $7.98 - $5.8 = $2.18

b. Total amount spent on swiss cheese = $7.98 x 2.5 = $19.95

Amount spent more on Swiss cheese than on American cheese = $19,95 - $4.35 = $15.60

Answer:

1st Question

A. 85

2nd Question

B. 71

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Question

{90 + 94 + 96 + 90} = 370/4 = 92.5

{95 + 99} = 194/2 = 97

{87 + 75 + 82 + 85} = 329/4 = 82.25

{71} = 71/1 = 71

.20(92.5) +.25(97) +.30(82.25) +.25(71) = 85.175 Rounded-up = 85

___________________________________________________

2nd Question

.10(95) +.20(80) +.50(67) +.20(60) = 71

A sample of 50 people was randomly chosen, and 60% of them said that they would rather eat breakfast at home than at a restauran

nalin [4]

The answer to this question would be: <span>The new survey’s margin of error will be between 50% and 100% the size of the original survey’s margin of error.

A bigger sample will result in a narrower margin of error which is a good thing because your data will become more accurate. But twice size will not improve the margin into the half. It definitely became lower than 100% though

Given tan theta =9, use trigonometric identities to find the exact value of each of the following:_______

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$(a)\ \sec^2(\theta) = 82$

$(b)\ \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}$

$(c)\ \cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9$

$(d)\ \csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\tan(\theta) = 9$

Required

Solve (a) to (d)

Using tan formula, we have:

$\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

This gives:

$\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = 9$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent} = \frac{9}{1}$

Using a unit ratio;

$Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1$

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 9^2 + 1^2$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 81 + 1$

$Hypotenuse^2 = 82$

Take square roots of both sides

$Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}$

So, we have:

$Opposite = 9; Adjacent = 1$

$Hypotenuse =\sqrt{82}$

Solving (a):

$\sec^2(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\sec(\theta))^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2$

Where:

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}$

So:

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\cos(\theta)})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{82}}})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = (\sqrt{82})^2$

$\sec^2(\theta) = 82$

Solving (b):

$\cot(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}$

Where:

$\tan(\theta) = 9$ ---- given

So:

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}$

$\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{9}$

Solving (c):

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta)$

In trigonometry:

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = \tan(\theta)$

Hence:

$\cot(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = 9$

Solving (d):

$\csc^2(\theta)$

This is calculated as:

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\csc(\theta))^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\sin(\theta)})^2$

Where:

$\sin(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin(\theta) = \frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}$

So:

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{1}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{82}}})^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = (\frac{\sqrt{82}}{9})^2$

$\csc^2(\theta) = \frac{82}{81}$
