Step-by-step explanation:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = 3/4

in the trigonometric triangle sin(x) and cos(x) are the legs, and the radius is the Hypotenuse, the baseline (opposite of the 90° angle).

so, we can use Pythagoras to find the radius.

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse, a and b being the legs.

let's stay integer.

if sin(x) is equivalent to 3, and cos(x) to 4, then what is the radius ?

3² + 4² = c²

9 + 16 = c²

25 = c²

c = radius = 5

so,

3 = sin(x) × 5

4 = cos(x) × 5

sin(x) = 3/5 = 0.6

cos(x) = 4/5 = 0.8

The value of sin x is 3/5 and the value of cos x is 4/5.

What are trigonometry ratios?

The trigonometric functions in mathematics are real functions that connect the right-angled triangle's angle to the ratios of its two side lengths. They are extensively employed in all fields of geometry-related study, including geodesy, solid mechanics, celestial mechanics, and many others.

Given that tan x = 3/4.

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of height to the base of the right triangle.

Here the height of the triangle is 3 and the base is 4.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the base and height.

Thus,

hypotenuse = √(3² + 4²)

hypotenuse = 5.

The sine of an angle is the ratio of height to the hypotenuse.

Sin x = Height/ hypotenuse

sin x = 3/5

The cosine of an angle is the ratio of the base to the hypotenuse.

cos x = base/ hypotenuse

cos x = 4/5

Answer:

Area = 5π/2 in^2

Perimeter = 3π + 2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A=area of a circle.   P=Perimeter of a circle

F=Area of first semi-circle

T=Area of Figure

Solve for Area:

A=πr^2

F=A/2

A=π(2)^2  ==> solve for A

A=4π

F=(4π)/2
F=2π   ==> this is for the first semi-circle

S=Area of second semi-circle

S=(πr^2)/2

S=(π(2/2)^2)/2  ==> the radius is half the diameter, and the diameter is 2 in

S=(π(1)^2)/2

S=π/2

T=F+S  ==> The total area is the area of both semi-circles

T=2π + π/2  ==> plugin 2π for F and π/2 for S

T = 4π/2 + π/2  ==> common denominators

T = 5π/2 in^2

Now solve for perimeter

P = 2πr.

q = perimeter of first semi-circle

q = P/2

q = 2πr/2

q = 2π(2)/2  ==> plugin 2 for r

q = 2π

R = Perimeter of second semi-circle

R = 2π(1)/2  ==> we calculated that the radius of the semi-circle is half of the

                          radius of the first semi-circle

R = 2π/2  ==> simplify

R = π

Also, add in side length DC into the perimeter as it is part of the perimeter.

E = Entire perimeter of figure

E = q + R + DC

E = 2π + π + 2

E = 3π + 2 in

The 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is (0.10, 0.23).

A confidence interval is a range of values that are constrained by the statistic's mean and that are likely to include an unidentified population parameter. The proportion of likelihood, or certainty, that the confidence interval would include the real population parameter when a random sample is drawn several times is referred to as the confidence level.

Sample size n = 125

number of people who planned to take an extended vacation = 21

sample proportion p = 21/125 = 0.168

Confidence level = 0.95

significance level α = 1-0.95 = 0.05

Z score =[tex]Z_{\alpha 2}[/tex] = Z(0.05) = 1.96, from Z table.

The confidence interval for population proportion is-

Equation of side AB:

We know the coordinates of A and B, so we can use the point-slope form to create the equation of the line:

y - 3 = (3/5)(x - 5)

y - 3 = 3/5x - 15/5

5/3y - 15/3 = x - 5

5/3y - x = -15/3 + 5

5/3y - x + 15/3 = 5

5/3y - x + 15/3 = 0

Equation of side AB: 5/3y - x + 15/3 = 0

Equation of side DC:

We know the coordinates of C and D, so we can use the point-slope form to create the equation of the line:

y - 1 = (2/5)(x - 10)

y - 1 = 2/5x - 20/5

5/2y - 10 = x - 10

5/2y - x = -10

5/2y - x - 10 = 0

Equation of side DC: 5/2y - x - 10 = 0

Equation of side BD:

We know the equation of side BC (x - 2y = 8) and that consecutive sides are perpendicular, so we can use the slope-intercept form to find the equation of line BD:

Slope of BC = -2/1

Slope of BD = -1/-2 = 1/2

y = (1/2)x + b

We can use the coordinates of B to find b:

1 = (1/2)(8) + b

[tex]E[/tex]ach pajama costs $32

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the said person bought:

2 slippers at a price, 3 pajamas at another price. (The prices are unknowns, s, and p)

Each slippers cost $12

We are to find the cost of each pajama, where the total purchase price is $120

With the given conditions, we formulate an equation: 2s + 3p = 120

Since s = 12, we replace for the value of s in the equation. s becomes 2 × 12 = 24.

The new equation is then: 24 + 3p = 120, where we are to find the value of p.

Collect like terms: 3p = 120 - 24 → 3p = 96

Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find the value of p: 3p/3 = 96/3 → p = 32

Therefore, the price of each pajama is $32

The first set of data points are in red. The second set in blue. Notice the set of blue points is the result of shifting the red points 24 units down.

The green exponential model is also shown as the curve through the set of red points.

The green regression exponential model doesn't go through each point perfectly. Rather it tries to get as close as possible.

To go from

T-24 = 54.4(0.964)^t

to

T = 54.4(0.964)^t + 24

we simply add 24 to both sides. This means there isn't much to show in terms of steps when solving for T.

Part (b)

Use spreadsheet technology or something like GeoGebra to generate this data table.

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}t & ln(T-24)\\\cline{1-2}0 & 4.043051\\\cline{1-2}5 & 3.806662\\\cline{1-2}10 & 3.597312\\\cline{1-2}15 & 3.407842\\\cline{1-2}20 & 3.230804\\\cline{1-2}25 & 3.063391\\\cline{1-2}30 & 2.923162\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}[/tex]

The values in the 2nd column are approximate.

Then plot each of those points on the same xy grid. Use technology of your choice to determine the regression line is roughly

y = -0.03723x + 3.99739

So we can say

ln(T-24) = -0.03723t + 3.99739

the right hand side fits the format at + b where

both of which are approximate.

Then,

e^(ln(T-24)) = e^(at+b)

T-24 = e^(at+b)

T-24 = e^(-0.03723t + 3.99739)

T-24 = e^(-0.03723t)*e^(3.99739)

T-24 = e^(-0.03723t)*54.45583

T-24 = 54.45583*e^(-0.03723t)

T = 54.45583*e^(-0.03723t) + 24

T = 54.456*e^(-0.037t) + 24

Let's verify that this is equivalent to the model found in part (a).

T = 54.456*e^(-0.037t) + 24

T = 54.456*(e^(-0.037))^t + 24

T = 54.456*(0.963676)^t + 24

T = 54.5*(0.964)^t + 24

which is very close to the model mentioned in part (a). There's some slight rounding error. That's to be expected in problems like this.

-----------------------------

Answer: T = 54.456*e^(-0.037t) + 24

See figure B for the graph. Like with the other regression curve, this straight line doesn't go through all of the points. It tries to get as close as possible.

=======================================================

Part (c)

Refer to the 2nd table mentioned in part (a).

We'll apply the reciprocal to each item in the column labeled T-24.

For instance, the item 57 becomes 1/57 = 0.017544 approximately.

This is what the data table looks like:

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}t & 1/(T-24)\\\cline{1-2}0 & 0.017544\\\cline{1-2}5 & 0.022222\\\cline{1-2}10 & 0.027397\\\cline{1-2}15 & 0.033113\\\cline{1-2}20 & 0.039526\\\cline{1-2}25 & 0.046729\\\cline{1-2}30 & 0.053763\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}[/tex]

The values in the 2nd column are approximate.

The set of points and regression line are shown in figure C1. This line does not go through all of the points. Like with the others, it tries to get as close as possible to each point.

Use technology to determine the equation of the regression line is approximately:

y = 0.00121x + 0.01613

Which tells us that

1/(T-24) = 0.00121t + 0.01613

Let's solve for uppercase T.

1/(T-24) = 0.00121t + 0.01613

T-24 = 1/(0.00121t + 0.01613)

T = 1/(0.00121t + 0.01613) + 24

T = 1/(0.0012t + 0.0161) + 24

which is the approximate final answer.

Figure C2 shown below represents the original data points (t, T) in red. The blue curve is y = 1/(0.0012x+0.0161)+24, which is the rational regression curve we just found. This curve tries its best to get as close as possible to each red point.

Compare the regression curves of figure A and figure C2. We have a very close tie in terms of which curve does a better job of fitting the original data.
