Answer: sin\frac{a}{2} = ± \frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We very well know that,

cos2A=1−2sin²A

⟹ sinA = ±\sqrt{(1-} \frac{cos2A}{2} )

As required,  set A = \frac{a}{2}   &   cos a=  \frac{12}{13}    ,thus we get

sin \frac{a}{2} =± \sqrt{\frac{1-cos a}{2} }  

∴ sin\frac{a}{2} =±\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{12}{13} }{2} } = ± \frac{1}{\sqrt{26} }

   since ,360° < \frac{a}{2} <450°

             ,180° < \frac{a}{2} <225°

Now, we are to select the value with the correct sign. It's is obvious from the above constraints that the angle a/2 lies in the III-quadrant where 'sine' has negative value, thus the required value is negative.

hope it helped!

So using standard form you convert the equation to 5x - 2y = -10 then use slope m of a line of the form Ax + By = C equals negative a over b. It would be a = 5 b = -2 m = -5/-2 m = 5/2. Have a good day the answer is 5/2

According to a poll, 55 % of Americans do not know that GOP stands for Grand Old Party (Time, October 17, 2011). Assume that thi
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

\hat p  \sim N (p , \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

The mean is given by:

\mu_{\hat p} = 0.55

And the deviation:

\sigma_{\hat p} =\sqrt{\frac{0.55*(1-0.55)}{953}}= 0.0161

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume that the true population proportion of Americans do not know that GOP stands for Grand Old Party is 0.55 and we select a random sample of n = 953 americans

For this case we assume that we satisfy the conditions to use the normal approximation for \hat p

1) np >10 , n(1-p)>10

2) Independence

3) Random sample

4) The sample size is less than 10% of the population size

We assume that all the conditions are satisfied and the distribution for \hat p would be:

\hat p  \sim N (p , \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

The mean is given by:

\mu_{\hat p} = 0.55

And the deviation:

\sigma_{\hat p} =\sqrt{\frac{0.55*(1-0.55)}{953}}= 0.0161

A map is drawn using a scale of 80 mi to 1 cm. On the map , the two cities are 7.5 cm apart. What is the actual distance between
meriva
We know that
scale =measure in the map/measure in the actual
measure in the actual=measure in the map/scale
scale=1 cm/ 80 mi
for
measure in the map=7.5 cm
measure in the actual=?
measure in the actual=7.5 /(1/80)-----> 7.5*80-----> 600 mi

the answer is
<span>the actual distance between the two cities is 600 miles</span>
