ok Nataszaa,

I am not trying to be harsh.  Do you have to do them by hand - without using a statistics calculator.  

We need to know what the rules are.  

Here is a page to help you understand what you have to do.

If you need to do it by hand then you will need to draw up columns.  I am too tired to show you that now.  It is 3:40am here.  but you will need to work out the means first anyway.  Work out the means and then if you need more help either I or someone else will definitely help you some more.

Goodnight Natasza.

There are a number of different ways to do a question like this.  Here are some ideas.

ok now I will give it a go.

$$\begin{array}{rlll}
cos^2\theta+sin^2\theta&=&1\\
cos\theta&=&\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta\\\\
3cosx-4sinx &=&1\\
3\sqrt{1-sin^2x}-4sinx &=&1\qquad &\mbox{ }\\
3\sqrt{1-sin^2x} &=&1+4sinx\qquad &\mbox{Square both sides }\\
9\times(1-sin^2x) &=&1+8sinx+16sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
9-9sin^2x &=&1+8sinx+16sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
0 &=&-8+8sinx+25sin^2x\qquad &\mbox{}\\
25sin^2x+8sinx-8 &=&0\qquad &\mbox{}\\
Let \;y=sinx&\\
25y^2+8y-8 &=&0\qquad &\mbox{}\\
y&=&\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+800}}{50}\\
sinx&=&\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{16*9*6}}{50}\\
sinx&=&\frac{-8\pm 12\sqrt{6}}{50}\\

\end{array}$$

 

$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}^{\!\!\mathtt{-1}}{\left({\frac{\left({\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{864}}}}\right)}{{\mathtt{50}}}}\right)} = -{\mathtt{48.406\: \!856\: \!678\: \!66^{\circ}}}$$

 

$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}^{\!\!\mathtt{-1}}{\left({\frac{\left({\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{8}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{864}}}}\right)}{{\mathtt{50}}}}\right)} = {\mathtt{25.332\: \!938\: \!613\: \!029^{\circ}}}$$

 

These answers should be checked by substituting them back into the original equation but I am going to leave that to you. (I'm too tired)

*1) Ninja has been writing a lot of very good posts pertaining to using the web2 calculator.  I think that these need to be kept.  They are very good.   this is an example of 1

Hi everyone,

Today our great answers were provided by Alan, Heureka, will85237, CPhill, AzizHusain and NinjaDevo.  Thank you all.  

 

Here are some interesting post for the day:

 

* 1) Using the web 2 calc for unit conversions. MAYBE this could go in reference material.  

What do you think Ninja. 

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/1505-91-convert-unit-of-measurement

* 2) Changing radians to degrees

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-do-turn-radians-to-degrees

* 3) Uni level Trigonometry

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-to-know-when-the-function-is-continuous

* 4) High level Trig

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-can-i-show-that-the-bound-between-sin-v-2-cos-v-2-1-is-true-for-all-degrees-in-the-intervall-0-v-180

* 5) Is zero even or odd?

 http://web2.0calc.com/questions/0-is-a-nbsp-odd-number-or-even-number-why-please-explain

* 6) Directed numbers and plotting on a number line. An excellent answer from Ninja. 

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/the-answer-to-the-expression-3-6-located-on-a-horizontal-number-line

7) I think this one was included yesterday but Heureka has added to it.  (with cosh and sinh)

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/e-x-e-x-2-2-1

That is about it for today I believe.  Thanks all.
