Which inverse trig function could I use to solve this problem?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Inverse sine

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the three common trig ratios

Remember SohCahToa

Sine = Opposite over Hypotenuse (SOH)

Cosine = Adjacent over Hypotenuse (CAH)

Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent (TOA)

Now let's look back at the question

It asks us which inverse function would we use to solve for angle Z

Looking at angle Z, we are given it's opposite side length and the hypotenuse ( longest side ).

When dealing with the opposite side length and hypotenuse we use trig function sine.

When trying to find the angle we use inverse so we would use inverse sine to find the measure of angle A

The heights of twelve month old boys are normally distributed with a mean of 29.8 inches and a standard deviation of 1.2 inches.
Triss [41]

Answer:

About twenty-one percent of twelve month old boys are shorter than 28.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 29.8, \sigma = 1.2

About twenty-one percent of twelve month old boys are shorter than what height?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.21. So it is X when Z = -0.805.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.805 = \frac{X - 29.8}{1.2}

X - 29.8 = -0.805*1.2

X = 28.8

About twenty-one percent of twelve month old boys are shorter than 28.8 inches.

A crate contains cylindrical cans of soup for shipment. Each crate is a cube with side lengths of 12in. Each soup can is 5in tal
denpristay [2]
The volume of the cube is base times width times height, or any of these measurements cubed, since they're all the same. 
Therefore, the volume of the cube is:
 12³ = 1728 in³
The volume of the cylinder is π*r²*h, where r is the radius and h is height
Remember that the diameter is twice the radius, so the radius is 2 in and the height is 5 in. 
Therefore, each can has a volume of π * 2² * 5 = 20π
Approximating π as 3.14....
The volume of each can is 62.8 in³
1728 ÷ 62.8 = 27.5
Rounding down, 27 cans can fit in the crate.
This is how I suspect the teach wanted you to solve, since it involves finding the volume of both shapes and using pi. However, this is not actually how many cans can fit, because it does not take into account the fact that not every inch of available space will be used. 

Here is another way to solve,taking this fact into account, that gives the more accurate answer:

Each can has a diameter of 4in, which means that they each require a square of 4 x 4 in to accommodate their base.
The base of each can requires 16 in² of space in the crate. 
The base of the cube is 12 x 12, so the area of the base is 144 in²
144 ÷ 16 = 9, so the base of the cube, or bottom of the box, can fit 9 cans, arranged 3 by 3. 

The cube has a height of 12 inches, and each can is 5 inches tall. Therefore, two of these stacks can fit in the box, for 9 x 2 = 18 cans. 
This is a much better answer, as it takes into account the fact that the cans can't occupy every inch of available space in the cube.

Selim is ordering concrete spheres to place as barriers in the city park. The spheres cost $2 per square foot, and Selim can spe
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1.78 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they cost $20 each and its $2 per square foot, the area of the spheres

is 20 / 2 = 10 ft^2.

Area of sphere = 4 π r^2 = 10   (where r = the radius)

---> r^2 = 10 / 4π

            =   0.796

---> r = 0.892 ft

So the diameter = 2 * r  

                           =  1.78 feet to nearest hundredth.
