4 books make 1 foot since there are 12 inches in a foot so 4 * 5 is 20

There are 20 books in the stack

there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 times 4 is 12 5 feet times 4 is 20 your answer is 20 books

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?
KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

tan(\theta)=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1

In this problem we have

cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

\frac{3\pi}{2}

so

The angle \theta belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of sin(\theta) is negative

Step 1

Find the value of  sin(\theta)

Remember

sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1

we have

cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

substitute

sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1

sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}

sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}

sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of tan(\theta)

tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

we have

sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

substitute

tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}

tan(\theta)=-1

The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 10.410.410, point, 4 years; th
kati45 [8]

Answer:

99.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 10.4 years; the standard deviation is 1.9 years.

Use the empirical rule (68-95-99.7%) to estimate the probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years.

Solution:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution most of the data fall within three standard deviations (σ) of the mean (µ). That is  68% of the data falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% falls within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7%  falls within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

Therefore:

68% falls within (10.4 ± 1.9). 68% falls within 8.5 years to 12.3 years

95% falls within (10.4 ± 2*1.9). 95% falls within 6.6 years to 14.2 years

99.7% falls within (10.4 ± 3*1.9). 68% falls within 4.7 years to 16.1 years

Probability of a meerkat living less than 16.1 years = 100% - (100% - 99.7%)/2 = 100% - 0.15% = 99.85%

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply. Please ans
timama [110]
<span>The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 – 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x – 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 – 2x – 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.</span>

A poster is 3 inches long. it is 4 times as wide as it is long find the perimeter and area of the poster?
iren [92.7K]
So we know that the width is 12 because 4 x 3 = 12. The formula to find the perimeter is Length + length + width + width. So you would do 3 + 3 + 12 + 12 = 30. Therefore the perimeter is 30 inches
