Answer:

-2+sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When cos(angle)=sqrt(3)/2

then sin(of that angle)= + or - 1/2 depending on the quadrant

Anyways 330 degrees is in the 4 quadrant. Cosine is positive there while sine is negative.

so sin(330)=-1/2

Formula for tan(x/2)=(1-cos(x))/sin(x)

Therefore tan(165)=tan(330/2)=(1-cos(330))/sin(330)=(1-sqrt(3)/2)/(-1/2)

Multiply top and bottom by 2 to get

tan(165)=(2-sqrt(3))/-1

tan(165)=-2+sqrt(3)

This item can be answered through the concept of fundamental principles of counting. In the first of the four digits, there are 10 possible digits. The same with all the other 3 places or digits of the code. That is,
n = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
Giving us the answer of 10,000. Thus, there are 10,000 possible keys for the keyless entry.

A shower has a flow rate of 2.3 gallons per minute. If a person takes an average of 6 showers per week and the average length of

shusha [124]

Answer:

161,460 gallons are used in a year.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 shower- 2.3×15=34.5

Number of minutes spent in the shower in a week- 15×6=90

Gallons used per week- 34.5×90=3,105

There is 52 weeks in a year.

52×3,105=<u>161,460</u>

A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a

Artemon [7]

The speed of the fox should be greater than the rabbit's speed in other to catch up, Hence, the speed of the fox must be 35/t + 40

The distance between the rabbit and fox, d = 35 feets

The rabbit's speed = 40 feets per second

Fox's speed = F

In other to obtain a specific speed for the fox, the time at which the fox is required to catch up with the rabbit should be given.

Let the time = t

Recall :

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

Rabbit's distance from fox after time t will be :

35 + (40 × t) = 35+40t

Fox's distance after time, t = fox speed × t = F × t

In other to catch up ; both fox and rabbit must be at the same distance ;

Rabbit's distance at time t = Fox's distance at time t

35+40t = Ft

To solve for F which is the fox's speed:

Divide both sides by t

(35+40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

Hence, the fox' s speed must be : 35/t + 40

To obtain the exact speed of the fox, we must be given a specific time value.

The heights of fully grown sugar maple trees are normally distributed, with a mean of 87.5 feet and a standard deviation of 6.25

Julli [10]

Answer:

20.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 87.5, the standard deviation (sd) 6.25 and the sample size (n) = 12

They ask us for P (x <86)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (86 - 87.5) / (6.25 / (12 ^ 1/2))

z = -0.83

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <-0.83) = 0.2033

The probability is 20.33%
