Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

5(x + 2) = 6x + 3x - 14

Step 2: Solve for x

[Addition] Combine like terms: 5(x + 2) = 9x - 14
[Distributive Property] Distribute 5: 5x + 10 = 9x - 14
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 9x on both sides: -4x + 10 = -14
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides: -4x = -24
[Division Property of Equality] Divide -4 on both sides: x = 6

Following are the solution to the given equation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attachment file.

In point a:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=22.8$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{119.18}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{119.18}{15}}\\\\ = \sqrt{7.94533333}\\\\=2.8187$

In point b:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=20.6875$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{26.3375}{16-1}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{26.3375}{15}}\\\\ =\sqrt{1.75583333}\\\\ =1.3251$

In point c:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=21$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2.62}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{2.62}{15}} \\\\= \sqrt{0.174666667}\\\\=0.4179$

In point d:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=20.8375$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{8.2975}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{8.2975}{15}} \\\\ =\sqrt{0.553166667} \\\\ =0.7438$

Given csc(A) = 65/16 and that angle A is in Quadrant I, find the exact value of sec A in simplest radical form using a rational

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$secA = \frac{65}{63}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$cosec A = \frac{65}{16}\\\\sin A = \frac{1}{cosecA} = \frac{16}{65}\\\\cos^2 A = 1 - sin^2 A$

$= 1 - (\frac{16}{65})^2\\\\=\frac{4225-256}{4225}\\\\=\frac{3969}{4225}\\$

$cos A = \sqrt{\frac{3696}{4225}} = \frac{63}{65}$

$secA = \frac{1}{cosA} = \frac{65}{63}$
