A. opp/adj because the the tangent is the hypotenuse so it eliminates all equations that require the hypotenuse.

Answer: a.opp/adj

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function, along with sine and cosine, is one of the three most common trigonometric functions.

For any given angle x

$\tan\ x=\frac{\sin\ x}{\cos\ x}=\frac{\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}{\frac{\text{side adjacent to x}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}\\\Rightarrow\tan\ x=\frac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}$

thus, opp/adj correctly describes the tangent function.

A manufacturer produces bolts of a fabric with a fixed width. A quantity q of this fabric (measured in yards) that is sold is a

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$R'(20) = 2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Quantity, q

Selling price in dollars per yard, p

$q=f(p)$

Total revenue earned =

$R(p)=pf(p)$

f(20)=13000

This means that 13000 yards of fabric is sold when the selling price is 20 dollars per yard.

f′(20)=−550

This means that increasing the selling price by 1 dollar per yards there is a decrease in fabric sales by 550.

We have to find R'(20)

Differentiating the above expression, we have,

$R'(p) = \displaystyle\frac{d(R(p))}{dp} = \frac{d(pf(p))}{dp} = f(p) + pf'(p)$

Putting the values, we get,

$R'(p) = f(p) + pf'(p)\\\\R'(20) = f(20) + 20(f'(20))\\\\R'(20) = 13000 + 20(-550) = 2000$

Answer:

The Decision Rule

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean age of the cars is greater than that of taxi

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The data is

Car Ages 4 0 8 11 14 3 4 4 3 5 8 3 3 7 4 6 6 1 8 2 15 11 4 1 6 1 8

Taxi Ages 8 8 0 3 8 4 3 3 6 11 7 7 6 9 5 10 8 4 3 4

The level of significance $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0$

Generally the sample mean for the age of cars is mathematically represented as

$\= x_1 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x_1 = \frac{4+ 0+ 8 +11 + \cdots + 8
}{27}$

=> $\= x_1 = 5.56$

Generally the standard deviation of age of cars

$\sigma _1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n_1} }$

=> $\sigma _1 = \sqrt{\frac{(4 - 5.56)^2 + (0 - 5.56)^2+ (8 - 5.56)^2 + \cdots + 8}{ 27} }$

=> $\sigma _1 = 3.88$

Generally the sample mean for the age of taxi is mathematically represented as

$\= x_2 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x_2 = \frac{8 +8 +0 + \cdots + 4
}{20}$

=> $\= x_2 = 5.85$

Generally the standard deviation of age of taxi

$\sigma _2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n_1} }$

=> $\sigma _2 = \sqrt{\frac{(8 - 5.85)^2 + (8 - 5.85)^2+ (0 - 5.85)^2 + \cdots + 8}{ 20} }$

=> $\sigma _2 = 2.83$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{(\= x_ 1 - \= x_2 ) - 0}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_1}{n_1} + \frac{\sigma^2_2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{(5.56 - 5.85 ) - 0}{\sqrt{\frac{(3.88)^2}{27} + \frac{(2.83)}{20} }}$

=> $t = -0.30$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = n_1 + n_2 -2$

$df = 27 + 20 -2$

$df = 45$

From the t distribution table the $P(t > t )$ at the obtained degree of freedom = 45 is

$P(t > -0.30 ) = 0.61722067$

So the p-value is

$p-value = P(t > T) = 0.61722067$

From the obtained values we see that the p-value > $\alpha$ hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Hence the there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean age of the cars is greater than that of taxi

Tom is going to turn little Quacker into roast duck! He goes to the grocery store to get some salt and pepper seasoning to his d

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

He can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper spent maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The cost of salt = 50 cents / scoop =$ 0.5 / scoop

The cost of pepper =75 cents / scoop = $ 0.75 / scoop

Let he buys x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper.

As he plans to bring home no more than 8 scoops of seasoning, so

$x+y\leq8\cdots(i)$

The total cost of x scoops of salt and y scoops of pepper = 0.5x+0.75y

As he wants to spend less than $5, so

$0.5x+0.75y$

Here, $x\geq 0, y \geq 0$ and x,y are counting numbers.

On plotting the graph of equations (ii) and (ii), the possible solution is the integral values in the shaded as shown in the figure.

The maximum possible integral values, for expances less than $5, are (x,y)=(3,4), (4,3).

Hence, he can buy 3 scoops of salts and 4 scoops of pepper or 4 scoops of salts and 3 scoops of pepper to spent maximum.
