help me solve this trig
Hello there!
Previously, we learnt that to solve the equation, we have to isolate the sin, cos, tan, etc first.
First Question
The first question has sin both sides. Notice that if we move sin(theta) to left. We get:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large{2 {sin}^{2} \theta - sin \theta = 0}[/tex]
We can common factor out the expression.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{sin \theta(2sin \theta - 1) = 0}[/tex]
It is a trigonometric equation in quadraric pattern.
We consider both equations:-
First Equation
[tex] \displaystyle \large{sin \theta = 0}[/tex]
Remind that sin = y. When sin theta = 0. It means that it lies on the positive x-axis.
We know that 0 satisfies the equation, because sin(0) is 0.
Same goes for π as well, but 2π does not count because the interval is from 0 ≤ theta < 2π.
Hence:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large { \theta = 0,\pi}[/tex]
Second Equation
[tex] \displaystyle \large{2sin \theta - 1 = 0}[/tex]
First, as we learnt. We isolate sin.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} }[/tex]
We know that, sin is positive in Quadrant 1 and 2.
As we learnt from previous question, we use π - (ref. angle) to find Q2 angle.
We know that sin(π/6) is 1/2. Hence π/6 is our reference angle. Since π/6 is in Q1, we only have to find Q2.
Find Quadrant 2
[tex] \displaystyle \large{\pi - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{6\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5\pi}{6} }[/tex]
Hence:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} , \frac{5\pi}{6} }[/tex]
Since both first and second equations are apart of same equation. Therefore, mix both theta from first and second.
Therefore, the solutions to the first question:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \theta = 0,\pi, \frac{\pi}{6} , \frac{5\pi}{6} }[/tex]
Second Question
This one is a reciprocal of tan, also known as cot.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{cot3 \theta = 1}[/tex]
For this, I will turn cot to 1/tan.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{1}{tan3 \theta} = 1}[/tex]
Multiply whole equation by tan3 theta, to get rid of the denominator.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{1}{tan3 \theta} \times tan3 \theta = 1 \times tan3 \theta } \\ \displaystyle \large{ 1= tan3 \theta }[/tex]
We also learnt about how to deal with number beside theta.
We increase the interval, by multiplying with the number.
Since our interval is:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large{0 \leqslant \theta < 2\pi}[/tex]
Multiply the whole interval by 3.
[tex] \displaystyle \large{0 \times 3 \leqslant \theta \times 3 < 2\pi \times 3} \\ \displaystyle \large{0 \leqslant 3 \theta < 6\pi }[/tex]
We also know that tan is positive in Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 3.
and tan(π/4) is 1. Therefore, π/4 is our reference angle and our first theta value.
When we want to find Quadrant 3, we use π + (ref. angle).
Find Q3
[tex] \displaystyle \large{\pi + \frac{\pi}{4} } = \frac{5\pi}{4} [/tex]
Hence, our theta values are π/4 and 5π/4. But that is for [0,2π) interval. We want to find theta values over [0,6π) interval.
As we learnt previously, that we use theta + 2πk to find values that are in interval greater than 2π.
As for tangent, we use:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \theta + \pi k = \theta}[/tex]
Because tan is basically a slope or line proportional graph. So it gives the same value every π period.
Now imagine a unit circle, and make sure to have some basic geometry knowledge. Know that when values addition by 180° or π would give a straight angle.
We aren't using k = 1 for this because we've already found Q3 angle.
Since we know Q1 and Q3 angle in [0,2π).
We can also use theta + 2πk if you want.
First Value or π/4
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi = \frac{9\pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{\pi}{4} + 4\pi = \frac{17\pi}{4} }[/tex]
Second Value or 5π/4
[tex] \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5\pi}{4} + 2\pi = \frac{13\pi}{4} } \\ \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5\pi}{4} + 4\pi = \frac{21\pi}{4} }[/tex]
Yes, I use theta + 2πk for finding other values.
Therefore:-
[tex] \displaystyle \large{3 \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} , \frac{5\pi}{4} , \frac{9\pi}{4}, \frac{17\pi}{4} , \frac{13\pi}{4} , \frac{21\pi}{4} }[/tex]
Then we divide every values by 3.
[tex] \displaystyle \large \boxed{\theta = \frac{\pi}{12} , \frac{5\pi}{12} , \frac{9\pi}{12}, \frac{17\pi}{12} , \frac{13\pi}{12} , \frac{21\pi}{12} }[/tex]

Answer:
y=x216–6x16+4116
Step-by-step explanation:
plato :)
The equation of the parabola is in option (C) if the parabola that has a vertical axis, passes through the point (–1, 3), and has its vertex at (3, 2) option (C) is correct.
What is a parabola?It is defined as the graph of a quadratic function that has something bowl-shaped.
(x - h)² = 4a(y - k)
(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola:
a = √[(c-h)² + (d-k²]
(c, d) is the focus of the parabola:
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
It is given that:
The equation of a parabola that has a vertical axis, passes through the point (–1, 3)
The vertex of the parabola is at (3, 2)
As we know, in the standard form of the parabola (h, k) represents the vertex of the parabola.
h = 3
k = 2
Plug the above point in the equation:
[tex]\rm y\ =\ \dfrac{x^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{6x}{16}+\dfrac{41}{16}[/tex]
x = 3
y = 2
[tex]\rm 2\ =\ \dfrac{3^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{6(3)}{16}+\dfrac{41}{16}[/tex]
= 9/16 - 18/16 + 41/16
= (9-18+41)/16
= 32/16
2 = 2 ( true)
The equation of the parabola is:
[tex]\rm y\ =\ \dfrac{x^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{6x}{16}+\dfrac{41}{16}[/tex]
Thus, the equation of the parabola is in option (C) if the parabola that has a vertical axis, passes through the point (–1, 3), and has its vertex at (3, 2) option (C) is correct.

Complete Question
Four spinners are spun. Spinner 1 has outcomes {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} Spinner 2 has outcomes {1,2,3,4,5,6} Spinner 3 has outcomes {1,2,3,4,5,6} Spinner 4 has outcomes {1,2,3,4,5} The outcomes for each spinner are equally likely. S is the sum of the numbers that come up on the spinners. What is the expected value of S?
Answer:
[tex]E(s)=14.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Spinner 1 ={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
Spinner 2= {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Spinner 3 = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
Spinner 4 {1,2,3,4,5}
Generally the equation for expected outcome is mathematically given by
[tex]E(s)=\sum P(x).x[/tex]
Where
[tex]x=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}[/tex]
For Spinner 1
[tex]E(s_1)=\sum \frac{1}{8}*\frac{8(8+1)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]E(s_1)=4.5[/tex]
For Spinner 2
[tex]E(s_2)=\sum \frac{1}{6}*\frac{6(6+1)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]E(s_2)=3.5[/tex]
For Spinner 3
[tex]E(s_2)=E(s_3)[/tex]
For Spinner 3
[tex]E(s_4)=\sum \frac{1}{6}*\frac{6(6+1)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]E(s_4)=3[/tex]
Therefore The Expected Value
[tex]E(s)=\sum E(s 1..4)[/tex]
[tex]E(s)=4.5+2(3.5)+3[/tex]
[tex]E(s)=14.5[/tex]

Xbar = 377999 / 36 = 10499.9722
Standard deviation, s = √[(x - xbar)² / (n-1]
Using calculator :
Standard deviation (Website 1 :), s = 110.239865
Website 2 : 11067, 11029, 10888, 10789, 10914, 10663, 10787, 11140, 11042, 11074, 10868, 10853, 10900, 11088, 10991, 10928, 10959, 11126, 11033, 11114, 11150, 11155, 11027, 10900, 11015, 11123, 10953, 11181, 10855, 10731, 10971, 10770, 11070, 11122, 11018, 10903
Mean, xbar = ΣX/ n ; n = sample size = 36
Xbar = 395197 / 36 = 10977.6944
Standard deviation, s = √[(x - xbar)² / (n-1]
Using calculator :
Standard deviation (Website 2), s = 132.617995
2.)
Yes, the viewership between the two websites are different with the second website has a higher mean viewership with a mean of 10977.6944.
3.)
The probability of 12000 views per month on each website :
Probability = Mean viewership per month / required viewership
Website 1 :
P(12000) = 10499.9722 / 12000 = 0.8749
Website 2 :
P(12000) = 10977.6944 / 12000 = 0.9148
4.)
More consistent website :
We use the standard deviation value, the higher the standard deviation, the higher the variability :
Website 1 should be more consistent has it has a Lower standard deviation score, hence, should show lower variability than website 2.
5.)
Website suitable for advertisement should be one with higher viewership per month in other to reach a larger audience. Hence, website 2 should be recommended for advertisement.

Estimating Mean SAT Math Score
Type numbers in the boxes.
aby Part 1: 5 points
The SAT is the most widely used college admission exam. (Most community
aby Part 2: 5 points
colleges do not require students to take this exam.) The mean SAT math score
varies by state and by year, so the value of u depends on the state and the year. 10 points
But let's assume that the shape and spread of the distribution of individual SAT math scores in each
state is the same each year. More specifically, assume that individual SAT math scores consistently
have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 100. An educational researcher wants to
estimate the mean SAT math score (u) for his state this year. The researcher chooses a random
sample of 661 exams in his state. The sample mean for the test is 494.
Find the 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean SAT math score in this state for this year.
(Note: The critical z-value to use, zc, is: 2.576.)
Your answer should be rounded to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
(483.981 ; 504.019)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
σ = 100
Sample size, n = 661
xbar = 494
We use the Z distribution since we are working with the population standard deviation ;
C.I = xbar ± (Zcritical * σ/√n)
Zcritical at 99% = 2.576
C.I = 494 ± (2.576 * 100/√661)
C.I = 494 ± 10.019
Lower boundary = (494−10.019) = 483.981
Upper boundary = (494+10.019) = 504.019
C.I = (483.981 ; 504.019)

Solve the following system of equations by graphing.
y = -x-1
y = 14x - 4
A) (-4,3)
B) (-3,4)
C) (4,-3)
D) (3,4)
Answer:
(0.2, -1.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving a system of equations by graphing, we first plot the two equations on a graph, then the point of intersection of the two graphs is the solution to the system of equations.
Therefore giving the equations y = - x - 1; and y = 14x - 4, we have to first plot the both linear equations using online geogebra graphing tool. The intersection of both linear graphs is the solution to the problem.
We can see that the point of intersection is A(0.2, -1.2)

A population of values has a normal distribution with μ= 180.1
and σ=100. You intend to draw a random sample of size n=94
What is the mean of the distribution of sample means?
What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means?
(Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.)
A sample of size n taken from a normally distributed population with mean µ and standard deviation σ has a sample mean of µ and standard deviation of σ/√n.
So the sample mean would still be 180.1, while the sample standard deviation would be 100/√94 ≈ 10.31.

What is the length of BD?
Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
BD = 4.1
Step-by-step explanation:
DA is an angle bisector which also divides the opposite side of the angle it bisects in a way that it is proportional to tye other two sides.
By implication, we would have the following:
AB/BD = AC/DC
AB = 5.3
AC = 5.5
DC = 4.3
BD = ?
Plug in the values
5.3/BD = 5.5/4.3
Cross multiply
BD*5.5 = 4.3*5.3
BD*5.5 = 22.79
Divide both sides by 5.5
BD = 22.79/5.5
BD = 4.1 (to 1 decimal place)

The containers are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes. N is the size of the population. n is the size of the sample. k is the total number of desired outcomes.In this problem:
There are 18 containers, hence [tex]N = 18[/tex]11 of those are in Florida, hence [tex]k = 11[/tex].A sample of 3 containers is taken, hence [tex]n = 3[/tex]The probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier is P(X = 1), hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,18,3,11) = \frac{C_{11,1}C_{7,2}}{C_{18,3}} = 0.2831[/tex]
0.2831 = 28.31% probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
Tn = -4n² +40n +36
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator readily performs the quadratic regression, yielding the formula ...
Tn = -4n² +40n +36
__
The first and second differences of the given sequence terms are ...
28, 20, 12 and -8, -8
The coefficient of the squared term is half the second difference, so is -4. Then the sequence of squared terms is -4n²:
-4, -16, -36, -64
Subtracting these values from the original sequence gives the linear sequence ...
76, 116, 156, 196
which has first term 76 and common difference 40. The equation for the n-th term of this is ...
an = 76 +40(n -1) = 36 +40n
Adding this linear sequence to the sequence of squared terms, we get ...
Tn = -4n² +40n +36
