Powered by AITo find the mean of the data set 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, sum the numbers and divide by the count of numbers: Mean = (5 + 7 + 9 + 10 + 13)/5 = 44/5 = 8.8.
To prove this identity, start with the left-hand side: sinθ/(1+cosθ) + (1+cosθ)/sinθ. Combine into a single fraction: (sin²θ + (1 + cosθ)²)/[(1 + cosθ)sinθ]. Simplify the numerator: sin²θ + 1 + 2cosθ + cos²θ = 2 + 2cosθ. Denominator remains as (1 + cosθ)sinθ. Simplifying gives: 2(1 + cosθ)/[(1 + cosθ)sinθ] = 2/sinθ = 2cosecθ.
To evaluate sin30°cos60° + cos30°sin60°, use known trigonometric values: sin30° = 1/2, cos60° = 1/2, cos30° = √3/2, and sin60° = √3/2. Substitute these into the expression: (1/2)(1/2) + (√3/2)(√3/2) = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1.
The principle that states the angle subtended by a semicircle is a right angle is known as Thales' Theorem. This theorem asserts that if A, B, and C are points on a circle where AC is the diameter, the angle ABC is a right angle. The proof involves constructing a triangle ABC and showing that the angle at B is 90 degrees using the property that angles in a semicircle are right angles.
For a = 2 + √3, calculate a² = (2 + √3)² = 4 + 4√3 + 3 = 7 + 4√3. Then, compute 1/a = 1/(2 + √3) and rationalize: multiply numerator and denominator by (2 - √3) to get (2 - √3)/(2² - (√3)²) = (2 - √3)/1 = 2 - √3. So, (1/a)² = (2 - √3)² = 4 - 4√3 + 3 = 7 - 4√3. Therefore, a² + (1/a)² = (7 + 4√3) + (7 - 4√3) = 14.
The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. For a cylinder with radius 7 cm and height 10 cm, the volume is V = π(7)²(10) = 490π cm³.
To solve the equation 3x - 7 = 2x + 5, first eliminate the constant term on the left by adding 7 to both sides: 3x = 2x + 12. Then, subtract 2x from both sides to isolate x: x = 12. The solution is x = 12.
Use the tangent-segment theorem, which states that the length of the tangent from an external point to a circle is the square root of the difference of the square of the distance from the point to the circle's center and the square of the radius. Here, length = √((10 cm)² - (6 cm)²) = √(100 - 36) = √64 = 8 cm.
Use the formula for the area of a triangle from three points (x₁,y₁), (x₂,y₂), (x₃,y₃): Area = 1/2[|x₁(y₂-y₃) + x₂(y₃-y₁) + x₃(y₁-y₂)|]. For points (1,2), (4,6), (6,3), compute: Area = 1/2[|1(6-3) + 4(3-2) + 6(2-6)|] = 1/2[|3 + 4 - 24|] = 1/2[|-17|] = 8.5 units².
To find the compound interest on $8,000 at 10% per annum for 2 years, use the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where P = $8000, r = 0.10, n = 1 (compounded annually), and t = 2 years. Calculate A = 8000(1 + 0.10)^2 = 8000(1.21) = $9,680. The compound interest is $9,680 - $8,000 = $1,680.
