QUESTION 1
The given logarithmic expression is
[tex]\log_4(\frac{1}{16})[/tex]
We rewrite [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] in the index form to base 4.
This implies that;
[tex]\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=\log_4(4^{-2})[/tex]
We now apply the power rule: [tex]\log_a(m^n)=n\log_a(m^n)[/tex].
[tex]\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=-2\log_4(4)[/tex]
Recall that logarithm of the base is 1.

What is the length of the missing side of the triangle in simplest radical form? The figure is not drawn to scale.
Answer:
4√34
Step-by-step explanation:
the question asks for the value of the hypotenuse
Applying the Pythagorean equation
a²+b²=c² where a=12cm, b=20cm and c?
substituting values to equation
12²+20²=c²
144+400=c²
544=c²
√544=c
√16 × √34 =c
4×√34
4√34
ANSWER
[tex] 4 \sqrt{34} cm[/tex]
EXPLANATION
The missing side is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the length of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs.
Let the hypotenuse be x.
Then,
[tex] {x}^{2} = {20}^{2} + {12}^{2} [/tex]
[tex]{x}^{2} = 400 + 144[/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} = 544[/tex]
Take positive square root of both sides.
[tex]x = \sqrt{544} [/tex]
[tex]x = 4 \sqrt{34} [/tex]
What is the common factor of the numerator and denominator in the expression [tex]\frac{(2x+3)(x-4)}{(x-4)(x+4)}[/tex]
Enter your answer as a binomial, like this: x + 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4)
What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.
But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.
Any other value for x is fine.

Colby is making a home video consisting of a 5-minute introduction followed by several short skits. Each skit is 6 minutes long. If Colby's video is 101 minutes long, how many skits are in his video?
The answer is: There are a total of 16 skits in the video.
Why?From the statement, we know that the total length of the video is 101 minutes and it contains a 5-minute introduction, the rest of the minutes are short skits (which are 6 minutes long each one).
So, we need to write the following equations:
First equation:
[tex]TotalDuration=Introduction+n*Skit[/tex]
Second equation:
[tex]Skit=6Minutes[/tex]
Where,
[tex]TotalDuration=101Minutes\\Introduction=5Minutes\\n=NumberOfSkits\\Skit=6Minutes[/tex]
So, replacing and substituting the second equation into the first equation we have:
[tex]101Minutes=5Minutes+n*6Minutes\\n*6Minutes=101Minutes-5Minutes\\n*6Minutes=96Minutes\\n=\frac{96Minutes}{6Minutes}=16[/tex]
So, there are a total of 16 skits in the video.
Let's prove it substituting "n" into the first equation:
[tex]101Minutes=5Minutes+16*6minutes\\101Minutes=5Minutes+96Minutes\\101Minutes=101Minutes[/tex]

Match the function with its graph.
1) y= tan x
2) y= cot x
3) y= -tan x
4) y= -cot x
Answer:
Option a. 1C, 2A, 3B, 4D.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) We know that tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x). If x=0, sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=1 then tan(x)=0. For that reason, we know that the graph passes through the point (0,0).
If x=45, then sin(45)= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] and cos(45)=[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]. Thus tan(45)=1. The only graph that passes through the point (0,0) and is possitive when x=45 is the graph C.
2) We know that cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x). If x=0, sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=1 then tan(x)=+∞. For that reason, we know that the graph has an asymptote in y=0, in other words, it never crosses the y-axis.
If x=45, then sin(45)= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] and cos(45)=[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]. Thus cot(45)=1. The only graph that has an asymptote in y=0 and is possitive when x=45 is the graph A.
3) We know that -tan(x)=-sin(x)/cos(x). If x=0, sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=1 then -tan(x)=0. For that reason, we know that the graph passes through the point (0,0).
If x=45, then sin(45)= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] and cos(45)=[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]. Thus -tan(45)=-1. The only graph that passes through the point (0,0) and is negative when x=45 is the graph B.
) We know that -cot(x)=-cos(x)/sin(x). If x=0, sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=1 then tan(x)=-∞. For that reason, we know that the graph has an asymptote in y=0, in other words, it never crosses the y-axis.
If x=45, then sin(45)= [tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex] and cos(45)=[tex]\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]. Thus -cot(45)=-1. The only graph that has an asymptote in y=0 and is negative when x=45 is the graph D.
The correct matches of the functions with their graphs are as follows: 1) y = tan(x) matches with graph C, 2) y = cot(x) matches with graph A, 3) y = -tan(x) matches with graph B, and 4) y = -cot(x) matches with graph D.
1) y = tan(x) matches with graph C:
- The tangent function has a period of π (180 degrees) and is undefined at odd multiples of π/2 (90 degrees). This is why it has vertical asymptotes at x = π/2, 3π/2, etc.
- The graph of y = tan(x) passes through (0, 0) because tan(0) = 0.
- It has a repeating pattern where it increases to positive infinity as it approaches the vertical asymptotes and decreases to negative infinity as it approaches the odd multiples of π/2.
2) y = cot(x) matches with graph A:
- The cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function: cot(x) = 1/tan(x). It is undefined at even multiples of π/2 (0, π, 2π, etc.), which is why it has vertical asymptotes at x = 0, π, 2π, etc.
- The graph of y = cot(x) never crosses the y-axis, and it has an asymptote at y = 0.
- It has a repeating pattern where it approaches 0 as it approaches the vertical asymptotes.
3) y = -tan(x) matches with graph B:
- The negative tangent function, -tan(x), is the reflection of the positive tangent function y = tan(x) about the x-axis.
- The graph of y = -tan(x) passes through (0, 0) because -tan(0) = 0.
- It has a repeating pattern similar to the positive tangent but is reflected about the x-axis.
4) y = -cot(x) matches with graph D:
- The negative cotangent function, -cot(x), is the reflection of the positive cotangent function y = cot(x) about the x-axis.
- The graph of y = -cot(x) never crosses the y-axis, similar to the positive cotangent, and it has an asymptote at y = 0.
- It has a repeating pattern similar to the positive cotangent but is reflected about the x-axis.

Let's illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a very small population. The given population is the scores of ten female students in a class. Student 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Weight 136 99 118 129 125 170 130 128 120 147 The parameter of interest is the mean weight in pounds ???? in this population. The sample is an SRS of size ????=4 drawn from the population. Because the students are labeled zero to nine, a single random digit from Table A chooses one student for the sample. (a) Find the mean of the ten weights in the population. This is the population mean ???? . (Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place.)
Answer:
a: sample mean: 130.2 pounds
This is not the population mean
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean weight of the sample, add up all the values and divide by the total number of values entered. In this case, 10, so we have...
mean: (136 + 99 + 118 + 129 + 125 + 170 + 130 + 128 + 120 + 147)/10 =
1302/10 = 130.2
This is not the population mean. It is the mean of the sample. We would have to know more information to make a conjecture about the population mean.
Final answer:
The population mean of the students' weights is determined by summing all the weights and dividing by the number of students, resulting in 130.2 pounds.
Explanation:
To find the population mean (denoted as μ), we add up all the weights of the ten students in the population and divide it by the total number of students. Let's do the calculation:
The weights of the students are 136, 99, 118, 129, 125, 170, 130, 128, 120, and 147 pounds.
The sum of these weights is 136 + 99 + 118 + 129 + 125 + 170 + 130 + 128 + 120 + 147 = 1302 pounds.
Since there are 10 students in the population, we divide the total weight by 10 to find the mean:
μ = ΣX / N = 1302 / 10 = 130.2 pounds
Therefore, the population mean (μ) is 130.2 pounds.
The length of an intercepted arc of a central angle of a circle is 4 cm. If the radius of the circle is 5 cm, what is the measurement of the central angle to the nearest whole degree?
A) 35°
B) 41°
C) 46°
D) 50°
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula we use here is:
Length of arc = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r[/tex]
Where
[tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle
r is the radius
Putting the given information into the formula we can solve for the central angle:
[tex]LengthOfArc=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r\\4=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi(5)\\4=\frac{\theta}{360}*10\pi\\\frac{4}{10\pi}=\frac{\theta}{360}\\\theta=\frac{4*360}{10\pi}\\\theta=45.84[/tex]
rounded to nearest degree, we have 46 degree
C is the right answer.
Answer: OPTION C
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
- Use the following formula for calculate the measure fo the central angle:
[tex]\theta=\frac{s}{r}[/tex]
Where s is the arc length and r is the radius.
- Know the lenght of the arc and the radius, you can substitute values.
Therefore, you obtain;
[tex]\theta=\frac{4}{5}=0.8\ radians[/tex]
Convert to degrees:
[tex]\frac{(0.8)(180\°)}{\pi}=45.83\°[/tex]≈46°

Write and equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form (picture below)
Answer:
The answer is ellipse; 3x² + y² + 6x - 6y + 3 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
* At first lets talk about the general form of the conic equation
- Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0
∵ B² - 4AC < 0 , if a conic exists, it will be either a circle or an ellipse.
∵ B² - 4AC = 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a parabola.
∵ B² - 4AC > 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a hyperbola.
* Now we will study our equation:
* 3x² + y² = 9
∵ A = 3 , B = 0 , C = 1
∴ B² - 4 AC = (0)² - 4(3)(1) = -12
∴ B² - 4AC < 0
∴ The graph is ellipse or circle
* If A and C are nonzero, have the same sign, and are not
equal to each other, then the graph is an ellipse.
* If A and C are equal and nonzero and have the same
sign, then the graph is a circle.
∵ A and C have same signs with different values
∴ It is an ellipse
* Now lets study T(-1 , 3), that means the graph will translate
1 unit to the left and 3 units up
∴ x will be (x - -1) = (x + 1) and y will be (y - 3)
* Lets substitute the x by ( x + 1) and y by (y - 3) in the equation
∴ 3(x + 1)² + (y - 3)² = 9
* Use the foil method
∴ 3(x² + 2x + 1) + (y² - 6y + 9) = 9
* Open the brackets
∴ 3x² + 6x + 3 + y² - 6y + 9 = 9
* Collect the like terms
∴ 3x² + y² + 6x - 6y + 12 = 9
∴ 3x² + y² + 6x - 6y + 12 - 9 = 0
∴ 3x² + y² + 6x - 6y + 3 = 0
* The answer is ellipse of equation 3x² + y² + 6x - 6y + 3 = 0

Given csc x/cot x =square root 2, find a numerical value of on trigonometric function of x
Answer:
a. sec(x) = √2
Step-by-step explanation:
csc(x)/cot(x) = (1/sin(x))/(cos(x)/sin(x)) = 1/cos(x) = sec(x) = √2
Answer:
The correct answer is a) [tex] \sec(x) = \sqrt{2}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we need to use some trigonometric identities:
[tex] \csc(x) = \frac{1}{\sin(x)}[/tex],[tex] \cot(x) = \frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)} [/tex].Then, substituting the above identities in the given formula we have:
[tex] \frac{\csc(x)}{\cot(x)} = \frac{\frac{1}{\sin(x)}}{\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}} = \frac{1}{\sin(x)}\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} [/tex]
Notice that we can simplify the sinus in both fractions. Thus,
[tex]\frac{\csc(x)}{\cot(x)} = \frac{1}{\cos(x)} = \sec{x}[/tex].
From here, the solutions is pretty straightforward.

A rectangular piece of stained glass has the dimensions shown in the diagram. What is the probability that a random leaf that lands on the rectangle lands within the section shaped like a trapezoid?
Answer:
The correct option is D) [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided figure.
We need to find the probability that a random leaf that lands on the rectangle lands within the section shaped like a trapezoid.
For this first find the total area as shown:
The given figure is a rectangle.
The area of rectangle is [tex]l\times b[/tex]
Where, l = 6 cm + 3 cm = 9 cm and b = 5cm
Therefore the area of the rectangle is;
Area of rectangle = [tex]9cm\times 5cm=45cm[/tex]
Now find the area of trapezoid.
The area of trapezoid is: [tex]\frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex]
Where h is the height and a and b are the parallel sides.
Area of trapezoid = [tex]\frac{9+3}{2}\times 5=30[/tex]
Thus, the area of trapezoid is 30 cm.
Therefore, the probability that a random leaf that lands on the rectangle lands within the section shaped like a trapezoid is:
[tex]Probability=\frac{\text{Area of trapezoid}}{\text{Area of rectangle}}[/tex]
[tex]Probability=\frac{30}{45}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is D) [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Type the correct answer in each box. The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 34 inches. The length of the rectangle is inches ?, and its width is ? Inches.
Answer:
The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle is shape with 4 sides where 2 pairs of sides are equal and form 4 perpendicular angles. 1 pair of sides is the width and is distance w. 1 pair of sides id the length and is 3 inches more than the width or 3 + w. The total distance around the shape is the perimeter. We know the perimeter is 34 inches. Add each side together and set it equal to 34. Then solve for w.
P = l + l + w + w
34 = 3 + w + 3 + w + w + w
34 = 6 + 4w
28 = 4w
7 = w
This means its length which is 3 inches longer is 7 + 3 = 10.

[tex]\sqrt{sec^2(x)}=\±\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\\\\sec(x)=\±\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\sec(x)=\±\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\sec(x)=\±\frac{\sqrt{3(2)}}{2}\\\\sec(x)=\±\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Determine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. 5x − 6y = 3 10x − 12y = 6 one and only one solution infinitely many solutions no solution Find the solution, if one exists. (If there are infinitely many solutions, express x and y in terms of the parameter t. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) (x, y) =
Final answer:
The system of equations has infinitely many solutions because they represent the same line. The solution can be written in terms of the parameter t as (x, y) = ((3 + 6t)/5, t).
Explanation:
The student's question involves determining the type of solution a system of two linear equations has and finding the solution if it exists. The given system of equations is:
5x - 6y = 3
10x - 12y = 6
Notice that the second equation is just the first equation multiplied by 2. This means the system has infinitely many solutions because the two equations are actually the same line. To find these solutions in terms of a parameter t, we can solve the first equation for x as follows:
Choose t to represent y (i.e., let y = t).
Substitute y = t into the first equation to get 5x - 6t = 3.
Solve for x to find x = (3 + 6t)/5.
Therefore, the solutions to the system can be expressed as (x, y) = ((3 + 6t)/5, t), where t is any real number.
