Step-by-step explanation:

A nice way to remember the normal trig functions and what they stand for is with SOH CAH TOA, where S represents the Sin, C represents the Cos, and T represents tan. Note: those are only abbreviations of the actual words.

I don't know a way to remember the names of the inverse trig functions, but they are Csc, sec, and cot.

Hey, I need help.
A school has 486 students, and this is an 8% increase from the number of students last year. How many students were in school last year?
Please also show working out, thanks :)

Answers

486 ÷ 108

4.5 x 100

450 were there last year

Answer:

The answer is 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number of students be x

Since the number of students increased by 8% we add 8% to 100% making it 108%

108% of the original number of students gave us 486

So we have

108% of x = 486

108 / 100 × x = 486

Multiply through by 100

108x = 48600

Divide both sides by 108

x = 450

So the number of students in the school last year was 450

An employee is paid a salary of \$73,840 per year, plus benefits and overtime (time and a half) on hours worked over 40 per week, working as a civil servant. What is the regular time hourly rate of pay for this employee, and what is her total income in a month where she works 40 hours, 44 hours, 43.5 hours, and 40 hours, weekly, in the month?
A.$37.00/hr and \$6,336.25 in total income
B. $35.50/hr and \$6,079.38 in total income
C.$37.50/hr and \$6,421.88 in total income
D.$36.00/hr and \$6,165.00 in total income

Answers

Answer:

B. $35.50/hr and \$6,079.38 in total income

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total regular pay earning for the year = $73,840

Let basic salary = b

Overtime = 1.5b

Regular earning per week :

Regular year earning / number of weeks per year

$73840 / 52 = $1420

Regular hours = 40

Regular earning per week = $1420

Regular earning per hour = $1420 / 40

Regular earning per hour = $35.50

Number of overtime hours :

4 hours + 3.5hours = 7.5hours

Overtime pay per hour = 1.5 * regular earning

Overtime pay per hour = 1.5 * 35.5 = $53.25

Total overtime pay = Overtime pay per hour * Number of overtime hours

Total overtime pay = $53.25 * 7.5

Total overtime pay = 399.375

Total pay for the month :

160 regular hours + 7.5 overtime hours

(160 * 35.5) + $399.375

$5,680 + 399.375 = $6,079.375

= $6,079.38

The confidence interval estiamte it __mi/h< o <__mi/h

Answers

Answer:

 3.0 mi/h < σ < 8.54 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample data:  x: 65 62 62 55 62 55 60 59 60 70 61 68

Confidence = c = 98% = 0.98

To find:

Construct a 98​% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation.

Solution:

Compute Mean:

number of terms in data set = n = 12

Mean = Sum of all terms / number of terms

          = 65 + 62 + 62 + 55 + 62 + 55 + 60 + 59 + 60 + 70 + 61 + 68 / 12

          = 739/12

Mean  = 61.58

Compute standard deviation:

s = √∑(each term of data set - mean)/ sample size - 1

s = √∑([tex]_{x-} {\frac{}{x} }[/tex])²/n-1

  = √( 65 - 61.58)² + (62 - 61.58)² + (62 - 61.58)² + (55 - 61.58)² + (62 - 61.58)² + (55 - 61.58)² + (60 - 61.58)² + (59 - 61.58)² + (60 - 61.58)² + (70 - 61.58)² + (61 -61.58)² + (68 - 61.58)² / 12-1

  = √(11.6964 + 0.1764 + 0.1764 + 43.2964 + 0.1764 + 43.2964 + 2.4964 + 6.6564 + 2.4964 + 70.8964 + 0.3364 + 41.2164) / 11

  = √222.9168/11

  = √20.2652

  = 4.50168

  = 4.5017

s =  4.5017

Compute critical value using chi-square table:

For row:

degree of freedom = n-1 = 12 - 1 = 11

For Column:

(1 - c) / 2 = (1 - 0.98) / 2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01

1 - (1 - c) / 2 = 1 - (1-0.98) / 2 = 1 - 0.02 / 2 = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

[tex]X^{2} _{1-\alpha/2}[/tex] = 3.053

[tex]X^{2} _{\alpha/2}[/tex] = 24.725

Compute 98​% confidence interval of standard deviation:

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{n-1}{X^{2} _{\alpha/2}} } s[/tex]  = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{12-1}{24.725} } ( 4.5017)[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{11}{24.725} } ( 4.5017)[/tex] =  [tex]\sqrt{0.44489}(4.5017)[/tex]

John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch. They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $14.00. After using a $7.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $12.10. Write an equation to model this situation, and find the cost of one large drink

Answers

Answer:

cost of one drink: $1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

P = price of pizza

L = Price of each large drink

Gift certificate discount =$ 7

Net paid= $12.10

P +3L -7 = 12.10

14 +3L -7 =12.10

7+3L =12.10

3L = 12.10 -7 = 5.10

 L = $1.70 for each large drink

hopefully this helped :3

Answer: The equation to model this situation is  3d + $14.00 – $7.00 =     $12.10 and the cost of one large drink is $1.7 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

John and 2 friends are going out for pizza for lunch.

They split one pizza and 3 large drinks. The pizza cost $14.00. After using a $7.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $12.10.

let us assume that the numbers of large drinks are represented by d .

Than the equation becomes

Total money spend = Number of drinks × d + Pizza cost  - Gift certificate amount .

Putting all the values in the above

12.10 = 3d + 14.00 - 7.00

Simplify the aboves

12.10 = 3d + 14 - 7

12.10 = 3d + 7

12.10 - 7 = 3d

5.1 = 3d

d = $ 1.7

Therefore the equation to model this situation is  3d + $14.00 – $7.00 = $12.10 and the cost of one large drink is $1.7 .

Solve the system of equations: y=x^2+3x-6 y=2x-6

Answer:

Solution: {(-1,-8), (0,-6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x^2+3x-6 ............(1)

Solution:

by comparison, the right-hand sides of both equations are equal (to y)

x^2+3x-6 = 2x - 6

Transpose and simplify

x^2 -x = 0

x = -1 or x=0

Substitute  x = -1 in (2)

y = 2(-1) -6 = -8  ..............(-1,-8)

substitute x = 0 in (2)

y = 2(0) -6 = -6 ...............(0,-6)

Given: XY - tangent to circles k1(P) and k2(O) OX=16, PY=6 and OP=26 Find: XY

Answers

Answer:

the answer is XY = 24 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

XY is tangent to the circles with center P and O respectively.

OX=16 units

PY=6 units

OP=26 units

To find:

Side XY = ?

Solution:

As per given statement, the diagram of two circles and their tangent is shown in the diagram.

We need to do one construction here,

Draw a line parallel to tangent XY from P towards OX such that it meets OX at A .

Now, let us consider triangle [tex]\triangle OAP[/tex]. It is a right angled triangle.

With sides Hypotenuse, OP = 26 units  

Perpendicular, OA = 16 -6  = 10 units

Base AP is equal to XY.

If we find the value of Base AP, the value of XY is calculated automatically.

Let us use pythagorean theorem in [tex]\triangle OAP[/tex]:

According to pythagorean theorem:

[tex]\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow OP^{2} = AP^{2} + OA^{2} \\\Rightarrow 26^2=XY^2+10^2\\\Rightarrow XY^2 = 676- 100\\\Rightarrow XY = \sqrt{576}\\\Rightarrow XY = 24\ units[/tex]

Hence, the answer is XY = 24 units.

f. 85

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles add up to 180 degrees

BCE=25

then you need to find DBC, you can do that since ABD is isocilies that means all sides are equal in length and angle so 180 divided by 3 (number of side) is 60

isoceles triangle have 2 sides that are equiangular, cince we know BCA is 25 we also know BAC is 25, leaving angle ABC to be 130 (180-50=130)

we subtract angle ABD from angle ABC to get angle DBC, leaving angle DBC to equal 70 degrees

since 70 (angle DBC) + 25 (Angel BCA)= 95

we just subtrract 95 from 180 to get the answer 85 (:

Answer:

85 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

if Δ ABD is equilateral  then the 3 sides and three angles are equal

sum of angles of Δ=180

180/3=60 degrees (∠A,∠B,∠D)

ΔBCA is isosceles then the two angles A and C are equal = 25

∠B=180-50=130

∠B in Δ BEC=130-60=70

∠E+∠B+∠C in Δ BEC=180

∠E= 180-70-25=85 degrees

Find the measure of AngleJ, the smallest angle in a triangle with sides measuring 11, 13, and 19. Round to the nearest whole degree. 30° 34° 42° 47°

Answers

Answer:

  34°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is good for finding angles when only sides are known. We'll use the conventional sides a, b, c, and angles A, B, C. Yes, we know the problem statement calls the smallest angle "J". We trust you can make the translation.

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A) . . . . . for sides a, b, c and angle A

Solving for the angle, we get ...

  A = arccos((b² +c² -a²)/(2bc))

Filling in the numbers with "a" being the shortest side, we have ...

  A = arccos((13² +19² -11²)/(2·13·19)) = arccos(409/494)

  A ≈ 34.113°

The smallest angle, ∠J, is about 34°.

        Dance World      /      Toe Tappers

A:10              $150        /       $150              

B:15              $225       /        $212.5

C:100            $1500      /       $1275

D:150             $2250     /       $1900

In conclusion, A:10 is the correct answer as both dance companies cost the same for 10 classes.

Sorry if this is really late, this is for the people who have the same question and need an answer too.

Answer:

A 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other:

15x = 25 + 12.5x

Solve for x

2.5x = 25

x= 10

A city counsel has a square lot to place a playground. They plan to place a diagonal of trees to create two distinct play areas. To determine if there is enough money in the budget, they needs to know the distance. If the length of each side of the lot is 45 m, how long is the diagonal?

Answers

Answer:

66.63

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal length, use Pythagorean’s theorem.

Diagonal = √45^2 + 45^2 = √2025+2025 = √4050 = 63.63.

Answer:

AHH! Geometry!

Thanks for this problem. Needed to refresh my skill for similarity and rations.

First, notice the lines that are on sides of the triangles. Lines with the same number of marks are the same measure. You may have already known this, but I'll just tell you for reference.

That means both of those pair of sides have equal length. What does this mean though?

Imagine that each of the line segments(the ones with two marks) are... 1 cookie (Their lengths, also, I really want a cookie.)

Now, this is where ratios come into play. Consider only the top triangle to the entire triangle. The Top Triangle has a side with the length of one cookie. That corresponding side on the entire large one is 2 cookies (because they are the same measure, and 1*2=2).

Thus, we can make a ratio, comparing the lengths of a corresponding sides.

(BTW, these are similar triangles, meaning that they have all the same angle measures, but different side lengths.)

[tex]\frac{1Cookie}{2Cookies}[/tex]

Now. (Refer to above) Similar triangles have ratios of similarity. Meaning that: Corresponding sides have a 1/3 ratio. This means, also, that all the other corresponding sides have a 1/3 ratio. Neat, huh?

Putting into other words, we can compare CB and RT with the same 1/2 ratio!(Just cancel out the cookies, its still the same ratio)

Now, that we have all our needed information, let's solve!(Also, remember to match it up properly, or else it won't work: Small triangle side/Small Triangle side=Large Triangle Side/Large Triangle Side, or something like that).

[tex]\frac{1}{3x-8} =\frac{2}{2x+4} \\2x+4=6x-16\\4x=20\\x=5[/tex]

^ ANSWER

So there you go! X is equal to 5. I'm sure you can solve the rest on your own!

Hope this helps!

Stay Safe! I'm going to get that cookie now...
