Answer:

C) x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the value of x using similarity ratio

x/8 = 9/6 cross multiply expressions

6x = 72 divide both sides by 6

x = 12

Find sin 2x, cos 2x, and tan 2x from the given information.<br> cscx=4,tanx&lt;0.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression cosec (x) = 4 and tan(x)< 0

since cosec x = 1/sinx

1/sinx = 4

sinx = 1/4

From SOH, CAH TOA

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

from sinx = 1/4

opposite = 1 and hypotenuse = 4

to get the adjacent, we will use the Pythagoras theorem

adj² = 4²-1²

adj² = 16-1

adj ²= 15

adj = √15

cosx = adj/hyp = √15/4

tanx = opposite/adjacent = 1/√15

since tan < 0, then tanx = -1/√15

From double angle formula;

sin2x = 2sinxcosx

sin2x = 2(1/4)(√15/4)

sin2x = 2√15/16

sin2x = √15/8

for cos2x;

cos2x = 1-2sin²x

cos2x = 1-2(1/4)²

cos2x = 1-2(1/16)

cos2x= 1-1/8

cos2x = 7/8

for tan2x;

tan2x  = tanx + tanx/1-tan²x

tan2x = 2tanx/1-tan²x

tan2x = 2(-1/√15)/1-(-1/√15)²

tan2x = (-2/√15)/(1-1/15)

tan2x = (-2/√15)/(14/15)

tan2x = -2/√15 * 15/14

tan2x = -30/14√15

tan2x = -30/7√15

rationalize

tan2x =  -30/7√15 * √15/√15

tan2x =  -30√15/7*15

tan2x =  -2√15/7

When the outliers are removed, how does the mean change? (2 points) dot plot with 1 on 50, 1 on 76, 1 on 78, 2 on 79, 1 on 80, 1
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Answer: The mean increases by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The original data set is 

{50, 76, 78, 79, 79, 80, 81, 82, 82, 83}

The outlier is 50 because it is not near the group of values from 76 to 83 which is where the main cluster is.

The original mean is M = (50+76+78+79+79+80+81+82+82+83)/10 = 77

If we take out the outlier 50, the new mean is N = (76+78+79+79+80+81+82+82+83)/9 = 80

So in summary so far

old mean = M = 77

new mean = N = 80

The difference in values is N-M = 80-77 = 3

So that's why the mean increases by 3

a pice of wire 80 inches long is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 5 inches more than twice the other. How long is the shortest pi
ad-work [718]

The longer piece of wire is 42.5

The shorter piece of wire is 37.5

37.5+42.5=80

37.5 matches the requirements because it is 5 smaller than 42.5 :)

Fifty-eight boys were asked if they play football and/or baseball. Thirty-one of them said they do not play baseball. Sixteen of
Arte-miy333 [17]
The two-way table is attached.

We start out placing 31 in the Total column beside the Don't Play Baseball row.  We then place 16 in the Total row under the Play Football column.  20 goes in the Don't Play Baseball row under the Don't Play Football column.

Since there are 31 people that do not play baseball, and 20 of them don't play football, this leaves us with 31-20=11 that do not play baseball and play football.

There are 58 people total, so this goes in the Total row under the Total column.

There are 58 people, and 31 of them do not play baseball; this leaves us 58-31=27 total that play baseball.

16 total people play football, and 11 of them don't play baseball.  This leaves us 16-11=5 people that play football and play baseball.

There are 58 people, and 16 of them play football; this leaves us 58-16=42 total that don't play football.

42 people don't play football, and 20 of them don't play baseball; this leaves us 42-20=22 people that don't play football and play baseball.

5 people play baseball and play football, and 22 people play baseball and don't play football; this gives us 5+22=27 people total that play baseball.
