Answers:

  • One possible equation to solve is tan(x) = 4/15
  • That solves to roughly 15 degrees

==============================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The segment AB is the player's height of 6 ft.

The segment CD is the hoop's height, which is 10 ft.

There is a point E on CD such that rectangle BACE forms. This will help us form ED later.

Angle EBD is what we're after, which I'll call x.

Since the free throw line is 15 ft from the basket, this means segments EB and AC are 15 ft each.

In rectangle BACE, the side EC is opposite AB. So both of those sides are 6 ft each.

Since CD = 10 and EC = 6, this must mean ED = CD-EC = 10-6 = 4.

---------------------------------------

To summarize, we found that ED = 4 and EB = 15.

We'll focus our attention entirely on triangle EBD

We have two known legs of the triangle, specifically the opposite and adjacent sides.

So we'll use the tangent ratio.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = ED/EB

tan(x) = 4/15 .... is the equation to solve

x = arctan(4/15) .... same as inverse tangent or \tan^{-1}

x = 14.931417 ..... make sure to be in degree mode

x = 15 ..... rounding to the nearest whole degree

So that unknown angle in the diagram is approximately 15 degrees

Iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
bearhunter [10]

Mean is \mu=100 and a standard deviation is \sigma =15, then the variable X\sim N(100,15^2).

Use substitution

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma},\\  \\ Z=\dfrac{X-100}{15}.

This substitution gives you that Z\sim N(0,1).

a. For X=130, Z=\dfrac{130-100}{15}=2 and Pr(X>130)=Pr(Z>2) =0.9772 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

b. For X=90, Z=\dfrac{90-100}{15}=-\dfrac{2}{3} and for X=110, Z=\dfrac{110-100}{15}=\dfrac{2}{3}. Then Pr(90 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

Answer:

The inverse function of f(x)=2.5*x+150 is f⁻¹(x)=\frac{2}{5}x-60

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse or reciprocal function of f (x) is called another function f ⁻¹(x) that fulfills that:

If f(a)=b then f⁻¹(b)=a

That is, inverse functions are functions that do the "opposite" of each other. For example, if the function f (x) converts a to b, then the inverse must convert b to a.

To construct or calculate the inverse function of any function, you must  follow the steps below:

Since f (x) or y is a function that depends on x, the variable x is solved as a function of the variable y. And since inverse functions swap the input and output values ​​(that is, if f (x) = y then f⁻¹(y) = x), then the variables are swapped and write the inverse as a function.

You know that he function f(x) = 2.5*x + 150 or y=2.5*x +150

Solving for x:

2.5*x +150=y

2.5*x= y-150

x=\frac{y-150}{2.5}

x=\frac{y}{2.5}-\frac{150}{2.5}

x=0.4y-60=\frac{2}{5}y-60

Exchanging the variable, you obtain that <u><em>the inverse function of f(x)=2.5*x+150 is f⁻¹(x)=</em></u>\frac{2}{5}x-60<u><em></em></u>
