Answer:

In cooking (recipes).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the serving size for a recipe is not adequate for the number of people you are serving, you will have to convert the amounts(measurements) of the ingredients to suit your needs. You will do this by first creating a ratio defining the relationship between the serving size of the given recipe to the number of people needed to be served. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people, and you need to serve 8, your ratio would simplify to 1/2. This means you must proportionally relate this ratio to the individual amounts of each ingredient.

We will use the sine and cosine of the sum of two angles, the sine and consine of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ , and the relation of the tangent with the sine and cosine:

$\sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sin \alpha\cdot\cos\beta + \cos\alpha\cdot\sin\beta

\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos\alpha\cdot\cos\beta-\sin\alpha\cdot\sin\beta$

$\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2}=1,\ \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}=0$

$\tan\alpha = \dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}$

If you use those identities, for $\alpha=x,\ \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ , you get:

$\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \sin x\cdot\cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} + \cos x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \sin x\cdot0 + \cos x \cdot 1 = \cos x$

$\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \cos x \cdot \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \cos x \cdot 0 - \sin x \cdot 1 = -\sin x$

Hence:

$\tan \left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \dfrac{\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)} = \dfrac{\cos x}{-\sin x} = -\cot x$

5-52: the first card selected from a standard 52-card deck is a king. a. if it is returned to the deck, what is the probability

Ksivusya [100]

Calculating the likelihood of experiments happening is one of the branches of mathematics known as probability.

The probability of getting a king card is 1/13 or 0.077.

<h3>What is meant by probability?</h3>

A probability is a numerical representation of the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

Given: Total number of probability - 52

Now, the first selected card is king and it is returned to the deck.

So it contains no effect on the second selection card.

Then, we have to estimate probability to obtain a king

probability = favourable outcomes for a king / total possible outcomess

= 4 king cards / 52 cards in total

= 4 / 52 = 1 / 13

The probability of getting a king card is 1 / 13 or 0.077

Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 1/13, or 0.077.

The complete question is:

The first card selected from a standard 52-card deck was a king. It isreturned to the deck, what is the probability that a king will be drawn on the second selection?

A. 1/4 or 0.25

B. 1/13, or 0.077

C. 12/13, or 0.923

D. 1/3 or 0.33

E. None of the above

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

<h2>If we placed the number 10 in the box, we obtain a system of equations with infinitely many solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

$y=2x-5\\2y-4x=a$

<em>It's important to know that a system with infinitely many solutions, it's a system that has the same equation</em>, that is, both equation represent the same line, or as some textbooks say, one line is on the other one, so they have inifinitely common solutions.

Having said that, the first thing we should do here is reorder the system

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x+a$

This way, you can compare better both equations. If you look closer, observe that the second equation is double, that is, it can be obtained by multiplying a factor of 2 to the first one, that is

$y=2x-5\\2y=4x-10$

So, by multiplying such factor, we obtaine the second equation. Observe that $a$ must be equal to 10, that way the system would have infinitely solutions.

Therefore, the answer is 10.
