The equation is equivalent to 1/cos(2x)-2=sin(2x)/cos(2x). Make the denominator cos(2x) for all terms, we get 1-2cos(2x)=sin(2x). Since cos^2(2x)+sin^2(2x)=1, let cos(2x)=a, substitute sin(2x) by +-\sqrt(1-a^2), and solve the equation with only one variable a. We get a=4/5 or 0, but cos(2x) cannot be 0, otherwise sec(2x) is undefined. 2x=36.9 degrees, so x=18.9 degrees approximately.

What is 20-7n=8(n-2). Please show steps.

ipn [44]

First, you need to distribute the right side of the equation : 8n - 2

Now the equation is : 20 - 7n = 8n - 2

Add 2 to both sides : 22 - 7n = 8n

Add 7n to both sides : 22 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15 : ( I had to round this one) 1.5 = n

est scores for a statistics class had a mean of 79 with a standard deviation of 4.5. Test scores for a calculus class had a mean

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The z-score for the statistics test grade is of 1.11.

The z-score for the calculus test grade is 7.3.

Due to the higher z-score, the student performed better on the calculus test relative to the other students in each class

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

The grade with the higher z-score is better relative to the other students in each class.

Statistics:

Mean of 79 and standard deviation of 4.5, so $\mu = 79, \sigma = 4.5$
