Step-by-step explanation:
sin ∅ = -(√3)/2
Note that
cos²∅ + sin²∅ = 1
cos²∅ = 1 - sin²∅
= 1 - (-√3 / 2)²
= 1 - (-√3)²/ 2²
= 1 - 3/4
= 1/4
cos²∅ = 1/4
Taking square root of both sides
cos∅ = 1/2
Note that tan∅ = sin∅/cos∅
therefore, tan∅ = -(√3)/2 ÷ 1/2
= -(√3)/2 × 2/1
= -√3
tan∅ = -√3
Since sin∅ = -√3 /2
Then ∅ = -60⁰
The value of ∅ for the given range (third quadrant) is 240⁰.
NB: sin∅ = sin(180-∅)
Also, since 180⁰ is π radians, then ∅ = 4π/3

g A gift shop sells 40 wind chimes per month at $110 each. The owners estimate that for each $11 increase in price, they will sell 2 fewer wind chimes per month. Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.
Answer:
The price that maximizes the revenue is $165
Step-by-step explanation:
We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.
Remember that a linear relationship is something like:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:
a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
For this line, we have the point (40, $110)
which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110
And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.
Then we also have the point (38, $121)
So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and (38, $121)
Then the slope of the line is:
a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5
Then the equation of the line is:
p(x) = -$5.5*x + b
to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)
This means that when x = 40, the price is $110
then:
p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b
$110 = -$220 + b
$110 + $220 = b
$330 = b
Then the price equation is:
p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330
Now we want to find the maximum revenue.
The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:
revenue = x*p(x)
replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:
revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)
revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x
Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.
You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.
And remember that for a quadratic equation like:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
the x-value of the vertex is:
x = -b/2a
Then for our equation:
revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x
the x-vale of the vertex will be:
x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30
x = 30
This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.
And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30
p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165
The price that maximizes the revenue is $165
a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision. O b) Everyone on the team discusses options and then votes. O c) The team passes the decision-making responsibility to an outside person. O di The team leader makes a decision without input from the other members.
Answer:
a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision.
Step-by-step explanation:
Option B consists of voting and not everyone would like the outcome. Option C is making an outsider the decision maker, which can't be helpful since he / she won't have as strong opinions as the team itself. Option D is just plain wrong as it defeats the purpose of team work and deciding as one team. So, I believe option A makes the most sense

4) The measure of the linear density at a point of a rod varies directly as the third power of the measure of the distance of the point from one end. The length of the rod is 4 ft and the linear density is 2 slugs/ft at the center, find the total mass of the given rod and the center of the mass
Answer:
a. 16 slug b. 3.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Total mass of the rod
Since the linear density at a point of the rod,λ varies directly as the third power of the measure of the distance of the point form the end, x
So, λ ∝ x³
λ = kx³
Since the linear density λ = 2 slug/ft at then center when x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod,
k = λ/x³ = λ/(L/2)³ = 8λ/L³
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
k = 8λ/L³
k = 8 × 2/4³
k = 16/64
k = 1/4
So, λ = kx³ = x³/4
The mass of a small length element of the rod dx is dm = λdx
So, to find the total mass of the rod M = ∫dm = ∫λdx we integrate from x = 0 to x = L = 4 ft
M = ∫₀⁴dm
= ∫₀⁴λdx
= ∫₀⁴(x³/4)dx
= (1/4)∫₀⁴x³dx
= (1/4)[x⁴/4]₀⁴
= (1/16)[4⁴ - 0⁴]
= (256 - 0)/16
= 256/16
= 16 slug
b. The center of mass of the rod
Let x be the distance of the small mass element dm = λdx from the end of the rod. The moment of this mass element about the end of the rod is xdm = λxdx = (x³/4)xdx = (x⁴/4)dx.
We integrate this through the length of the rod. That is from x = 0 to x = L = 4 ft
The center of mass of the rod x' = ∫₀⁴(x⁴/4)dx/M where M = mass of rod
= (1/4)∫₀⁴x⁴dx/M
= (1/4)[x⁵/5]₀⁴/M
= (1/20)[x⁵]₀⁴/M
= (1/20)[4⁵ - 0⁵]/M
= (1/20)[1024 - 0]/M
= (1/20)[1024]/M
Since M = 16, we have
x' = (1/20)[1024]/16
x' = 64/20
x' = 3.2 ft

Determine whether each relation is a function. Give the domain and range for each relation.
{(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)}
Answer:
Not a function
Domain: {3,4}
Range: {4,5}
Step-by-step explanation:
A function is a relation where each input has its own output. In other words if the x value has multiple corresponding y values then the relation is not a function
For the relation given {(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)} the x value 3 and 4 have more than one corresponding y value therefore the relation shown is not a function
Now let's find the domain and range.
Domain is the set of x values in a relation.
The x values of the given relation are 3 and 4 so the domain is {3,4}
The range is the set of y values in a relation
The y value of the given relation include 4 and 5
So the range would be {4,5}
Notes:
The values of x and y should be written from least to greatest when writing them out as domain and range.
They should be written inside of brackets
Do not repeat numbers when writing the domain and range

use induction method to prove that 1.2^2+2.3^2+3.4^2+...+r(r+1)^2= n(n+1)(3n^2+11n+10)/12
Base case (n = 1):
• left side = 1×2² = 4
• right side = 1×(1 + 1)×(3×1² + 11×1 + 10)/12 = 4
Induction hypothesis: Assume equality holds for n = k, so that
1×2² + 2×3² + 3×4² + … + k × (k + 1)² = k × (k + 1) × (3k ² + 11k + 10)/12
Induction step (n = k + 1):
1×2² + 2×3² + 3×4² + … + k × (k + 1)² + (k + 1) × (k + 2)²
= k × (k + 1) × (3k ² + 11k + 10)/12 + (k + 1) × (k + 2)²
= (k + 1)/12 × (k × (3k ² + 11k + 10) + 12 × (k + 2)²)
= (k + 1)/12 × ((3k ³ + 11k ² + 10k) + 12 × (k ² + 4k + 4))
= (k + 1)/12 × (3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48)
= (k + 1)/12 × (3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48)
On the right side, we want to end up with
(k + 1) × (k + 2) × (3 (k + 1) ² + 11 (k + 1) + 10)/12
which suggests that k + 2 should be factor of the cubic. Indeed, we have
3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48 = (k + 2) (3k ² + 17k + 24)
and we can rewrite the remaining quadratic as
3k ² + 17k + 24 = 3 (k + 1)² + 11 (k + 1) + 10
so we would arrive at the desired conclusion.
To see how the above rewriting is possible, we want to find coefficients a, b, and c such that
3k ² + 17k + 24 = a (k + 1)² + b (k + 1) + c
Expand the right side and collect like powers of k :
3k ² + 17k + 24 = ak ² + (2a + b) k + a + b + c
==> a = 3 and 2a + b = 17 and a + b + c = 24
==> a = 3, b = 11, c = 10

Answer:
The numbers are 18 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\bar x_1 = 14[/tex] [tex]n_1 = 17[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 13[/tex] [tex]n_2 = 15[/tex]
[tex]a - b = 7[/tex] --- the difference of the 2 numbers
Required
Find a and b
We have:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex] -- mean formula
So, we have:
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{\sum x_1}{n_1}[/tex]
[tex]14 = \frac{\sum x_1}{17}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]\sum x_1 = 14 * 17[/tex]
[tex]\sum x_1 = 238[/tex]
When the two numbers are removed, we have:
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{\sum x_2}{n_2}[/tex]
[tex]13 = \frac{\sum x_2}{15}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]\sum x_2 = 13 * 15[/tex]
[tex]\sum x_2 = 195[/tex]
The two numbers that were removed are:
[tex]a + b = \sum x_1 - \sum x_2[/tex]
[tex]a + b = 238 - 195[/tex]
[tex]a + b = 43[/tex]
Make a the subject
[tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
We have:
[tex]a - b = 7[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
[tex]43 - b - b = 7[/tex]
[tex]43 - 2b = 7[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]2b = 43 - 7[/tex]
[tex]2b = 36[/tex]
Divide by 2
[tex]b = 18[/tex]
Substitute [tex]b = 18[/tex] in [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
[tex]a = 43 - 18[/tex]
[tex]a = 25[/tex]

On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have three pieces. How many choices does she have
Answer:
[tex]56[/tex] choices
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy does not matter.
To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.
Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is
[tex]_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex], where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.
In this case, [tex]n=8[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex]. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:
[tex]_8C_3=\frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex] (Expand the factorials)
[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2*1}[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]5*4*3*2*1[/tex])
[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{6}[/tex] (Evaluate denominator)
[tex]=8*7[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]6[/tex])
[tex]=56[/tex]
Therefore, the child has [tex]\bf56[/tex] different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!

10 cows, 26 horses and 4 goats are in a paddock. What is the percentage of animals that are horses?
Answer:
10+26+4=40
in total there is 40 animals
because there is in total for 40 animals then that mean 40 animals is 100%
now we see that there are 26 horses we only need to divid ( but remember you have to divid the percent and the number of animals together)

Also, by a Venn diagram show how many of them like at least one of the given drink.
3000 people participated in the survey, of which 2790 like some type of drink.
Since in a survey of some people, 73% like to drink tea, 85% like to drink coffee and 65% like to drink tea as well as coffee, if 210 people like neither tea nor coffee, to find the total number of people taken part in the survey and show how many of them like at least one of the given drink, the following calculations must be performed:
-First, it must be determined how many people do not prefer any of the drinks, in percentages, subtracting the 65% who like both from the percentages of each particular drink, and adding these results.
(73 - 65) + (85 - 65) + 65 = X 8 + 20 + 65 = X 93 = X-Therefore, the 210 people who do not like any drink are 7 percent of the total survey. Therefore, to determine the total number of people who participated, the following cross multiplication must be carried out.
7 = 210 100 = X 100 x 210/7 = X 3000 = 73000 - 210 = 2790
Therefore, 3000 people participated in the survey, of which 2790 like some type of drink.

The length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 77 yd^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Answer:
W=7 and L=11
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.
First the problem states that length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10
Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77
Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.
3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0
(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0
W = -11/3 and/or W=7
Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.
So W=7
Plug that into the first equation.
3(7)-10= 11 so L=11
Solve the system of equations.

Jane is saving to buy a cell phone. She is given a $100 gift to start and saves $35 a month from her allowance. So after one month, Jane has saved $135. Does it make sense to represent the relationship between the amount saved and the number of months with one constant rate? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
Jane is given a $100 gift to start and saves $35 a month from her allowance.
After 1 month, Jane has saved
After 2 months, Jane has saved
After three months, Jane has saved
and so on
In general, after x months Jane has saved
This means that it makes sense to represent the relationship between the amount saved and the number of months with one constant rate (in this case the constant rate is 35). It makes sense because the amount of money increases by $35 each month. Since the amount of increase is constant, we get constant rate. Also the initial amount is known ($100), so there is a possibility to write the equation of linear function representing this situation.

Find the diameter of a circle if the area is
153.86m2. Use 3.14 for pi.
Answer:
-Hello Fatema!
The formula to find out the area of a circle is πd so let's plug the known values and then solve for d [ diameter ] :[tex] \boxed{ \large{ \tt{✺ \: AREA \: OF \: A \: CIRCLE = \pi \: d }}}[/tex]
[tex] \large{ \tt{⟶ \: 153.86 = 3.14 \: d}}[/tex]
[tex] \large{ \tt{⟶ \: d = \frac{153.86}{3.14} }}[/tex]
[tex] \large{ \tt{⟶d = 49 \: m}}[/tex]
[tex] \large{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{⤿ \: OUR \: FINAL \: ANSWER : \: 49 \: m}}}}[/tex]

The answer is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 — x^ m-n) ^-1 + (1- x ^n-m)^ -1
1/[1-x^(m-n)] + 1/[1-x^(n-m)]
1/[1-x^m × x^(-n)] + 1/[1-x^n × x^(-m)]
x^n/(x^n - x^m) + x^m/(x^m - x^n)
x^n/(x^n - x^m) - x^m/(x^n - x^m)
Now taking the LCM here, we get
(x^n - x^m)/(x^n - x^m)
