What is the value of x if the average of 10, 11, 12 and x is 9?

frosja888 [35]

Answer: The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

10,11, 12 and x

Average of above numbers = 9

As we know that

Average is given by

$\dfrac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{Number of observation}}\\\\\\\dfrac{10+11+12+x}{4}=9\\\\10+11+12+x=9\times 4\\\\33+x=36\\\\x=36-33\\\\x=3$

Hence, the value of x is 3.

Given: cosθ= -4/5 , sin x = -12/13 , θ is in the third quadrant, and x is in the fourth quadrant; evaluate tan 1/2 θ

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...

Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{sin\theta}{1+cos\theta}$

There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.

If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:

$tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{1+(-\frac{4}{5}) }$ which simplifies a bit to
