Plug in Reduce. Rearrange the terms Subtract from the argument (this is valid because you'll end up on a coterminal angle). Combine like terms. Use the unit circle to evaluate the sine of to get 1. Multiply Add So the height of the ocean at 10:00 a.m. is 8 feet. ================================================================= # 2 Remember that and . So this means that or in short, To find the vertical asymptotes of , we'll set the denominator equal to zero and solve for 'x' (since division by zero is undefined). Set the denominator equal to zero. Take the arcsine of both sides. or Evaluate the arcsine of 0 to get or . Don't forget to add on multiples of to each solution. or Divide both sides by 3 to isolate 'x' in each case. As a shortcut, you can condense the solution to where 'n' is an integer. So if , where 'n' is an integer, then . But since , this means that we're only going to look at the solutions (for n=0), (where n=1), (when n=2), and (when x=3). Note: any other solution is outside the interval . So the four vertical asymptotes of are , , , and
 Linear-systems/252604: There are 35 tickets to be sold for the dance. The number of tickets sold to seniors must be four times the number of tickets sold to juniors. please give me 2 linear equations and a solution. A diamond today costs 10$more than twice what it cost last year. The sum of the cost (last year and this year) is 2500$. What is the cost of last years diamond? i need 2 linear equations and a solution for this question also. THANK U SO MUCH! 1 solutions Answer 184609 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2009-12-29 16:24:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!# 1 Let s = # of senior tickets and j = # of junior tickets Since there are 35 tickets in total, and we're assuming that only junior and senior tickets are sold, this means that . In other words, adding up the two totals will give you the grand total of 35. Also, because "The number of tickets sold to seniors must be four times the number of tickets sold to juniors", we know that . In English, the number of senior tickets 's' is 4 times the number of junior tickets 'j'. Start with the first equation. Plug in Combine like terms on the left side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So there are 7 junior tickets. Go back to the second equation Plug in Multiply So there are 28 senior tickets. As a check, take note that 28 is indeed 4 times 7 AND 28+7=35. So we've met our conditions. ====================================================================== # 2 Let t = cost of diamond today and y = cost of diamond last year Since "A diamond today costs 10$more than twice what it cost last year", we can say that (ie double the cost from last year 'y' and add 10 to get the new cost today 't'). Also, because "The sum of the cost (last year and this year) is 2500$", we know that (just add up the two individual costs to get the grand total of $2500) Start with the second equation. Plug in Combine like terms on the left side. Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So the cost of the diamond last year was$830. If you want to keep going then... Go back to the first equation Plug in Multiply Add So the cost of the diamond today is $1670.

 Numbers_Word_Problems/252490: Grace has 16 jellybeans in her pocket. She has 8 red ones, 4 green ones, and 4 blue ones. What is the minimum number of jelly beans she must take out of her pocket to ensure that she has one of each color? Could you please show me the set up and solution. Thank You1 solutions Answer 184454 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2009-12-28 19:04:15 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Here's the worst case scenario: First, she pulls out all 8 red jellybeans. So she has taken out all of the red jellybeans. Then she either pulls out 4 consecutive green or blue jellybeans (either one or the other but not both colors). So far, she's pulled out 8+4=12 jellybeans total. To ensure that she has taken at least one of each color, she'll need to pull out at least one more (either blue or green) since there is only one color left. So in total, she'll have to pull out minimum of 8+4+1=13 jellybeans to ensure that she has at least one of each color.

I'll do the first one to get you started. If that doesn't help either repost or ask me. # 1 Start with the second equation. Divide both sides by {{y^2}}} to isolate 'x'. Move onto the first equation. Plug in Multiply EVERY term by the LCD to clear out the fractions. Get every term to the left side. Multiply every term by -1. Now use the rational root theorem to find that is a root to the polynomial equation above. In other words, if you plug in into , you will get 0. Because of this fact, this means that is a factor of Now use polynomial long division to find that . So This tells us that . Since we know that gives a root of , we can ignore this equation. So the next step is to solve for 'y'. Use the quadratic equation to find the next two solutions of or So the three solutions in terms of 'y' are , or From here, plug each solution (in terms of 'y') into to find the corresponding solution in terms of 'x'. I skipped a bit of steps (since they're a bit long and I'm out of time for now), so feel free to ask about any step.
 Parallelograms/252408: If the following statement were to be proven using a coordinate proof which formulas would be used the diagonals of a rhombus are congruent (a) distance (b) midpoint (c) both (d) the statement cant be proved can you explain? thank you1 solutions Answer 184302 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2009-12-27 18:36:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!You would use the distance formula since this formula computes the distance between two points. If you know the coordinates of all four points, then you can find the distance from the opposite vertices. In other words, you can find the lengths of the diagonals using the distance formula. Since there is no point in using the midpoint formula, the answer is A)

 Probability-and-statistics/252330: Please help me solve this problem: In an exercise gym, 5 different people used a particular weight-training machine. Name Weight Mona 40 Sam 80 Tony 80 Alba 60 Peter 110 Use the data above to find the mean, median, mode. and range of the data. What effects does multiplication by a fixed number have on the mean, median, mode, and range of the data? Explain the reasoning for your answer. - I already found the mean, median, mode, and range. mean=74 median=80 mode=80 range=70 I just DON'T GET the question about the fixed number... PLEASE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN!!! -thankyou! :)1 solutions Answer 184185 by jim_thompson5910(28598)   on 2009-12-26 18:20:42 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let k = some fixed number (ie a constant). In other words, k is some number (we just don't know what it is). Now multiply EVERY data value by k to get: Mona 40k Sam 80k Tony 80k Alba 60k Peter 110k Now let's find the following: Mean: Add up the values and divide by 5 (the number of people there) to get So the mean of the data values of 40k, 80k, 80k, 60k, and 110k is 74k. What this means is that the mean is just the original mean multiplied by the constant k. So if k=2, then the new mean is 2*74=148 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Median: First write the values in ascending order: 40, 60, 80, 80, 110 Now multiply each value by k: 40k, 60k, 80k, 80k, 110k From this list, the middle most value is 80k. Since the original median is 80, the new median is just the result of multiplying the original median of 80 by the constant k. I bet you can guess what's going to happen with the mode and the range. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mode: Looking at the list 40k, 60k, 80k, 80k, 110k we see that the mode is 80k since 80k repeats itself twice and it is the most frequent number. Because the original mode is 80, the new mode is just the product of the old mode and k. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Range: The range of the list 40k, 60k, 80k, 80k, 110k is just the difference between the largest element (110k) and the smallest element (40k). In other words the range is: 110k - 40k = 70k which is exactly the product of the original range and the constant k. So multiplying every element in a data set by a fixed number will just multiply the mean, median, mode, and range by that same fixed number. Try picking some specific numbers (like k=2, k=3, etc) to give you some examples.
