Answer:

b/a = c/d (first option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines:

f(x) = a*x +b

g(x) = m*x + s

are parallel if m = a, and s ≠ b.

So the lines must have the same slope and different y-intercept.

For the graphed lines is obvious that the y-intercepts are different, so let's look at the slopes.

Remember that if a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

So now let's look to our lines.

The top one, passes through (-a, 0) and (0, b)

Then its slope is:

a₁ = (b - 0)/(0 - (-a)) = b/a

The bottom line passes through the points (0, -c) and (d, 0)

Then the slope will be:

m₁ = (0 - (-c))/(d - 0) = c/d

Then the lines will be only parallel if the slopes are equal, which means that we must have

b/a = c/d

The correct option is the first one.

1. Use the cosine and sine functions to express the exact coordinates of P in terms of angle θ.

Luden [163]

Answer:

For a point defined bt a radius R, and an angle θ measured from the positive x-axis (like the one in the image)

The transformation to rectangular coordinates is written as:

x = R*cos(θ)

y = R*sin(θ)

Here we are in the unit circle, so we have a radius equal to 1, so R = 1.

Then the exact coordinates of the point are:

(cos(θ), sin(θ))

2) We want to mark a point Q in the unit circle sch that the tangent has a value of 0.

Remember that:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

So if sin(x) = 0, then:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = 0/cos(x) = 0

So tan(x) is 0 in the points such that the sine function is zero.

These values are:

sin(0°) = 0

sin(180°) = 0

Then the two possible points where the tangent is zero are the ones drawn in the image below.

A large box contains 10,000 ball bearings. A random sample of 120 is chosen. The sample mean diameter is 10 mm, and the standard

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Option a) A 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 120 bearings in the sample is $10 \pm 1.96\displaystyle\frac{0.24}{\sqrt{120}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Sample size, n = 120

Sample mean = 10 mm

Standard Deviation = 0.24 mm

Formula:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

$10 \pm 1.96\displaystyle\frac{0.24}{\sqrt{120}}$

Hence, the correct interpretation for the confidence interval is given by option a).

A 95% confidence interval for the mean diameter of the 120 bearings in the sample is $10 \pm 1.96\displaystyle\frac{0.24}{\sqrt{120}}$ .

We have to consider the factor of sampling of 120 ball bearings from a population of 10,000 ball bearings.
