Lim x→π/2 1-sinx/cot^2xany genious help please ​

Mathematics

Simora [160]3 years ago

Rewrite the limand as

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / (cos²(<em>x</em>) / sin²(<em>x</em>))

… = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / cos²(<em>x</em>)

Recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(<em>x</em>) + cos²(<em>x</em>) = 1

Then

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = ((1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) sin²(<em>x</em>)) / (1 - sin²(<em>x</em>))

Factorize the denominator; it's a difference of squares, so

1 - sin²(<em>x</em>) = (1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Cancel the common factor of 1 - sin(<em>x</em>) in the numerator and denominator:

(1 - sin(<em>x</em>)) / cot²(<em>x</em>) = sin²(<em>x</em>) / (1 + sin(<em>x</em>))

Now the limand is continuous at <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/2, so

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{1-\sin(x)}{\cot^2(x)}=\lim_{x\to\frac\pi2}\frac{\sin^2(x)}{1+\sin(x)}=\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac\pi2\right)}{1+\sin\left(\frac\pi2\right)}=\boxed{\frac12}

A basketball player makes 80% of her free throws. The random numbers below represent 20 trials for
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The numbers 0 to 7 represent a made free throw
  • The numbers 8 to 9 represent a missed  free throw.

Given the simulation data

(8,2) (9,3) (4,0) (5,8) (2,7) (2,0) (5,4) (8,0) (0,4) (9.1)

(9,6) (6,5) (4,4) (1,7) (0,4) (8,5) (8,8) (1,7) (3,5) (0,3)

  • A pair that contains only numbers between 0 and 7 shows the player makes both throws.

These pairs are:

(4,0)  (2,7) (2,0) (5,4)  (0,4) (6,5) (4,4) (1,7) (0,4) (1,7) (3,5) (0,3)

There are a total of 12 cases where the player makes both throws.

Therefore:

P(Player makes both throws)=12/20=0.6

The equation V equals pi r squared h, where r represents radius and h represents height, is used to find the volume of a _______
baherus [9]

Answer:

Volume of a cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is :

V=\pi r^2 h

Where

r is the radius

h is the height

This equation is used to find the volume of a cylinder.

For example, a cylinder having radius of 7 units and height of 10 units, its volume will be :

V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times 7^2\times 10\\\\V=1540\ \text{unit}^2

So, the given equation is used to find the volume of a cylinder.
