Assume opposite = 3 and adjacent = 4, hence hypotenuse = \( \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5 \). For \( \theta \) in the second quadrant, \( \sin\theta = \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \cos\theta = -\frac{4}{5} \). Thus, \( \sin\theta - \cos\theta = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{7}{5} \). Reflex angles make \( \cos\theta \) negative.
Using the assumed mean method, select an assumed mean from the class mark, typically the midpoint of a frequently occurring class. Taking 45.5 as the assumed mean, calculate deviations for each class: \( (X - A) \), where \( X \) is the class midpoint and \( A \) is the assumed mean 45.5. Multiply each deviation by frequency (FD), sum \( FD \), and sum frequency (n = 65). The mean \( \bar{X} = A + \frac{\sum (FD)}{n} \). Compute each: for example, with the class 31-40, midpoint 35.5, deviation = -10, \( FD = 20 \times (-10) = -200 \). Sum \( FD \) across classes, divide by total students, add to the assumed mean.
To determine class length, examine the class intervals represented. Each interval, such as \(1-10\), \(11-20\), and so forth, provide range: subtract smallest boundary from the largest within each class interval. For example, \(20 - 11 = 9 \). Ensure uniformity of class intervals throughout the dataset, confirming all are spanning equal measures (9). Class length derives from this interval data; showing this calculation stepwise allows understanding of interval consistency across cumulative data.
Firstly, express \( \sqrt{75} \) as \( 5\sqrt{3} \). Rewrite the expression as \( \sqrt{3} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} + 5\sqrt{3} \). Rationalize the fraction by multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \( \sqrt{3} \): \( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} \). The expression becomes \( 6\sqrt{3} - \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} \). Combine like terms: \( \frac{18\sqrt{3}}{3} - \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{16\sqrt{3}}{3} \). Hence, the expression in the form \( a + b\sqrt{c} \) is \( 0 + \frac{16}{3}\sqrt{3} \)
Using the Venn diagram and provided data, find the intersection of sets. Given 36 students like rice, 26 like posho, and 15 like matooke, 10 like both rice and posho, 5 like both matooke and posho, the total liking at least two foods \((|P \cap R| + |P \cap M| + |M \cap R| - 2|P \cap M \cap R|) \). Compute each formula: \( n((P ∪ R) ∩ M) = 47 - 2 - unique n(P, R, M) \), and others from overlaps. Calculate using sums and restoring overlaps with inclusion-exclusion. Compute final probability by dividing by total \( n = 47 \)
To reflect the triangle \( P'Q'R' \) in the line \( x = 1 \), determine the image of each vertex by finding the line \( x = 1 \)'s reflection rule. For vertex \( P'(4, -1) \), the reflection would be \( P\{ (2, -1) \). For \( Q'(7, 1) \), we find \( Q\{ (4, 1) \). Finally, for \( R'(7, -1) \), the result is \( R\{ (4, -1) \). The rule for reflection across \( x = a \) is to reposition the \( x \)-coordinate keeping equidistant with \( x = a \). Therefore, the resultant triangle's coordinates after reflection in the line \( x = 1 \) are \( P\{ (2, -1), Q\{ (4, 1), R\{ (4, -1) \)
To determine the angle between planes VAD and VBC, use spatial geometry concepts. Given the rectangular base ABCD with \( AB = 8cm \), \( BC = 6cm \), and height from vertex V to base center O as 12cm, establish vectors connecting VA, VD, VB, and VC. Using dot products to find unit normal vectors for respective plane equations, \( n_1 = (12, -4, 0) \) for VAD and \( n_2 = (12, 0, -3) \) for VBC, compute \( \cos\theta = \frac{n_1 \cdot n_2}{|n_1||n_2|} \). Simplify to find the angle \( \theta \) where arc cosine of result provides angular separation. Employ spatial reasoning and trigonometry for these calculations.
Given the original cylindrical tank with a diameter of 2.8m and height of 4m resulting in a volume of 24.64m³, utilize similarity ratios for volume. Since volume scales with the cube of linear dimensions, calculate the linear dilation factor: \((665.28 / 24.64)^{1/3} = 3.678 \). The height for a similar tank is the original height times this factor: \(4 \times 3.678 = 14.712 \)m. Verify consistency by checking if original radius and height, when tripled, yield correct cubic volume scaling.
The area scaling factor for a transformation matrix \( \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \) is given by the determinant \( ad - bc \). For the matrix \( \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \), the determinant is \( 1 \cdot 2 - (-3) \cdot 4 = 2 + 12 = 14 \). As the original area of the figure is 8 cm², the area of the transformed figure is \( 8 \times 14 = 112 \text{ cm}^2 \). This means the transformation scales the area of the original figure by a factor of 14.
To find the equation of the mirror line, equidistance property of reflections is used. For points \( P(2, 1) \) and \( P'(4, -1) \), the line of reflection is the perpendicular bisector. Calculate the midpoint: \( (3, 0) \). Using the slope method for a perpendicular bisector: slope between P and P' = -1. The slope of the perpendicular (reflection line) is the negative reciprocal, which is 1. Thus, the mirror line's equation passing through \((3, 0)\) is \( y = x - 3 \)
