Answer:
or 1.414
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find the mean. 1+2+3+4+5 = 15. 15/5= 3
2) For each data point, find the square of its distance to the mean. (4, 1, 0, 1, 4)
3) Sum the values from Step 2. 10
4) Divide by the number of data points. 10/5= 2
5) Take the square root.
Answer:
32°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the trig function relating angles to the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The side opposite the angle x is shown as having measure 5; the side adjacent has measure 8. Putting all this in the above equation gives ...
tan(x) = 5/8
To find the angle from the value of the tangent, you use the inverse of the tangent function. The name of that is the <em>arctangent</em> function. It is often written as tan⁻¹(x) and often accessible on your calculator using a "second function" key. Some calculators, like the one shown in the attachment, recognize the arctan function name.
x = arctan(5/8) ≈ 32°
The value of x rounded to the nearest whole degree is 32°.
