Mathematics
1 answer:
Ksju [112]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8a. x = 16√3

8b. y = 8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

8a. Determination of the value of x

Adjacent = 24

Hypothenus = x

Angle θ = 30°

The value of x can be obtained by using cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos θ = Adjacent /Hypothenus

Cos 30 = 24 / x

√3/2 = 24/x

Cross multiply

x × √3 = 2× 24

x × √3 = 48

Divide both side by √3

x = 48/√3

Rationalise

x = 48/√3 × √3/√3

x = 48√3 / √3 × √3

x = 48√3 / 3

x = 16√3

8b. Determination of the value of y

Opposite = y

Adjacent = 24

Angle θ = 30°

The value of y can be obtained by using Tan ratio as illustrated below:

Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Tan 30 = y / 24

1 / √3 = y /24

Cross multiply

y × √3 = 1 × 24

y × √3 = 24

Divide both side by √3

y = 24 /√3

Rationalise

y = 24 /√3 × √3/√3

y = 24 ×√3 / √3 × √3

y = 24√3 / 3

y = 8√3

In a group of dogs and their owners, there are exactly 20 heads and 64 legs. How many dogs are in the group
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

If we assume that everyone in the group is an owner, we would have

20*2=40 legs.

64-40=24 legs

Therefore, we need 24 more legs.

These 24 additional legs can be made from the difference of legs between the owners and dogs.

In this case, dogs have 4-2=2 more legs than an owner.

24 ÷ 2 = 12.

There are 12 dogs in the group.

John has a total of 13 coins in his pocket. Of the 13 coins, they are all either quarters or dimes. The total value of the coins
lubasha [3.4K]
8 quarters = (8 x .25) = $2.00

5 dimes = (5 x .10) = $.50

$2.00 + $.50 = $2.50

8 + 5 = 13

Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that scoring higher on homework assignments leads to higher test s
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A. R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line.

Step-by-step explanation:

John is predicting test scores of students on the basis of their home work averages and he get the following regression equation

y=0.2 x +82.

Here, dependent variable y is the test scores and independent variable x is home averages because test scores are predicted on the basis of home work averages.

The coefficient of determination R² indicates the explained variability of dependent variable due to its linear relationship with independent variable.

We are given that correlation coefficient r= 0.82.

coefficient of determination R²=0.82²=0.6724 or 67.24%.

Thus, we can say that 67.24% of total variability in test scores is explained by its linear relationship with homework averages.

Also, we can say that, R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line.

What is the value of x in the equation <br> -5/8x=-160?
Helen [10]

Answer:

x= 1/256

Step-by-step explanation:

1. multiply both sides by 8x (answer: -5= 8x*-160)

2. divide both sides by -160 (answer: -5/-160 or 1/32 =8x)

3. divide both sides by 8 (answer: 1/256 = x

4. check your answer: -5/(8*1/256)= -160
