What is the value of a in the equation -1/4 a -5=5-2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-32

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/4a-5=5-2

add 5 to both sides to cancel the negative five on the left side.

-1/4a-5+5=5-2+5

-1/4a=8

multiply the equation by -4 to get the a just by itself

-4(-1/4)a=8(-4)

a=-32

Hope that helps :)

3/4 divided by 1/4 help can you teach me how to do it to

Answers

Answer:

3/4 divided by 1/4 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide two fractions, such as 3/4 ÷ 1/4, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

=(3/4)(4/1)

kcf (keep, change, flip)

so we're keeping 3/4 the same then we're changing it from division to multiplication and fliping 1/4 to 4/1 (as shown above)

3*4=12 and 4*1=4

so our new fraction is 12/4

12/4 is an improper fraction and 12 divided by 4 is 3

good luck :)

i hope this helps

Please prove the following trigonometric identity.

[tex]\cos^2(5x)-\sin^2(5x)=\cos(10x)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the trigonometric identity:

[tex]\cos^2(5x)-\sin^2(5x)=\cos(10x)[/tex]

For simplicity, we can let u = 5x. Therefore, by substitution, we acquire:

[tex]\cos^2(u)-\sin^2(u)[/tex]

Recall the double-angle identity formula(s) for cosine:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \cos(2x)&=\cos^2(x)-\sin^2(x)\\&=2\cos^2(x)-1\\&=1-2\sin^2(x)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, our identity becomes:

[tex]=\cos(2u)[/tex]

Back-substitute:

[tex]=\cos(2(5x))=\cos(10x)\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}\cos(10x)[/tex]

Hence proven.

cos²A - sin²A = cos2A, this is a general indentity where A can have any random value x/2, y/3, 1/8, 8, 9 etc.

Replacing A with 5x:

=> cos²(5x) - sin²(5x) = cos²(10x)

Moreover,

cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB.

When A = B,

cos(A + A) = cosAcosA - sinAsinA

cos2A = cos²A - sin²A

You can do the same with 5x.

cos(10x) = cos(5x + 5x)

cos(10x) = cos(5x)cos(5x) - sin(5x)sin(5x)

cos(10x) = cos²(5x) - sin²(5x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the given expression in the lowest form i.e.

[tex]\dfrac{5}{6}\div (-\dfrac{1}{2})[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]\dfrac{a}{b}\div \dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}[/tex]

6) Supplementary Exercise 5.51

A consumer advocate claims that 80 percent of cable television subscribers are not satisfied with their cable service. In an attempt to justify this claim, a randomly selected sample of cable subscribers will be polled on this issue.

(a)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of five cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, use an appropriate formula to compute the probability that four or more subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

The answer for 6(a) is P( Xâ¥4) = P ( x = 4) + P (x = 5) = 5/4 * 0.84 * 0.21 + 5/5 * 0.85 * 0.20 = 0.737

(b)

Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of 25 cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, find each of the following: (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer of p to 1 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

1.

The probability that 15 or fewer subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)1 is P(Yâ¤15) = 1 - P( Y > 20) - X20, i = 16 P ( Y = i) = 1- 0.421 - 0.562 = 0.017

2.

The probability that more than 20 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)2 is

3.

The probability that between 20 and 24 (inclusive) subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)3 is P(20 > Y < 24) = 1 - 0.421 - 0.1867 - 0.1358 - 0.0708 - 0.0236 = 0.1621

4.

The probability that exactly 24 subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service.

The answer for 6(b)4 is P( Y = 24) = 0.0236

(c)

Suppose that when we survey 25 randomly selected cable television subscribers, we find that 15 are actually not satisfied with their service. Using a probability you found in this exercise as the basis for your answer, do you believe the consumer advocate's claim? Explain. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 80\% = 0.8[/tex]

The question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using:

[tex]P(X = x) = ^nC_xp^x(1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Solving (a):

Given

[tex]n =5[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(X\ge 4)[/tex]

This is calculated using

[tex]P(X \le 4) = P(x = 4) +P(x=5)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(X \le 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.8)^4*(1 - 0.8)^{5-4} + ^5C_5*0.8^5*(1 - 0.8)^{5-5}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 5 * (0.8)^4*(0.2)^1 + 1*0.8^5*(0.2)^0[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.4096 + 0.32768[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.73728[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 4) = 0.7373[/tex] --- approximated

Solving (b):

Given

[tex]n =25[/tex]

i)

Required

[tex]P(X\le 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex] --- Complement rule

[tex]P(x > 15) = {25}^C_{16} * p^{16}*(1-p)^{25-16} +{25}^C_{17} * p^{17}*(1-p)^{25-17} +{25}^C_{18} * p^{18}*(1-p)^{25-18} +{25}^C_{19} * p^{19}*(1-p)^{25-19} +{25}^C_{20} * p^{20}*(1-p)^{25-20} +{25}^C_{21} * p^{21}*(1-p)^{25-21} +{25}^C_{22} * p^{22}*(1-p)^{25-22} +{25}^C_{23} * p^{23}*(1-p)^{25-23} +{25}^C_{24} * p^{24}*(1-p)^{25-24} +{25}^C_{25} * p^{25}*(1-p)^{25-25}[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 15) = 0.98266813045[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X\le 15) = 1 - P(x>15)[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 1 - 0.98266813045[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.01733186955[/tex]

[tex]P(x \le 15) = 0.0173[/tex]

ii)

[tex]P(x>20)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x>20) = P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x = 23) + P(x = 24) + P(x = 25)[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1 +1 * 0.8^{25}*0.2^0[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.42067430925[/tex]

[tex]P(x > 20) = 0.4207[/tex]

iii)

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24) = P(x = 20) + P(x = 21) + P(x = 22) + P(x =23) + P(x = 24)[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 53130 * 0.8^{20}*0.2^5 +12650 * 0.8^{21}*0.2^4 +2300 * 0.8^{22}*0.2^3 +300 * 0.8^{23}*0.2^2 +25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.61291151859[/tex]

[tex]P(20\ge x \le 24)= 0.6129[/tex]

iv)

[tex]P(x = 24)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 24) = 25* 0.8^{24}*0.2^1[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 24) = 0.0236[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]P(x = 15)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(x = 15) = {25}^C_{15} * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 3268760 * 0.8^{15} * 0.2^{10}[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.01177694905[/tex]

[tex]P(x = 15) = 0.0118[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(x = 15) = 1.18\%[/tex]

The calculated probability (1.18%) is way less than the advocate's claim.

Hence, we do not believe the claim.

work out the value of angle x, 90 degrees​

Answers

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In isosceles triangles (a triangle where two sides are equal), the two base angles are congruent.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

In this problem, x is a base angle, so the other base angle is equal to x.

So, adding up all the measures of the angles in this triangle,

90 + x + x = 180

Simplify.

2x + 90 = 180

Substract 90 from both sides

2x = 90

Divide both sides by 2

x = 45
