The simplified expression of 1 minus the quantity 1 over cosecant squared x is 1 - 1/cosec^2(x).

The expression 1 minus the quantity 1 over cosecant squared x can be simplified by dividing the 1 over cosecant squared x into its components. The cosecant squared x can be written as 1/cosec x, and then the 1/cosec x can be written as 1/sin x, with the cosecant being the reciprocal of the sine. Therefore, the expression 1 minus the quantity 1 over cosecant squared x can be written as 1 - 1/sin x. To simplify this expression further, the denominator of 1/sin x can be squared, resulting in 1 - 1/sin^2(x). Since the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine, cosec^2(x) can be substituted for sin^2(x), giving us the simplified expression 1 - 1/cosec^2(x).

The total number of boxes of muffins Jill and Mike brought to the bake sale is 9 1/12.

Mixed fractions are type of fractions which consist of a whole number part and a fractional part.

Mixed fractions are of the form a b/c where a is the whole number part and b/c is the fractional part.

Given that,

Number of boxes of carrot muffins Jill brought = 3 1/3 = (3 × 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3

Number of boxes of apple muffins Mike brought = 5 3/4 = (5 × 4 + 3) / 4 = 23/4

Total number of muffins = (10/3) + (23/4)

                                        = [(10 × 4) + (23 × 3)] / [3 × 4]

                                        = (40 + 69) / 12

The octal representation of 7562.45 is 3654.36, the hexadecimal representation 1938.257 of is 774.4112, and the binary representation of 175.175 is 10101111.110111.

What are Number Systems?

A number system is a system representing numbers. It is also called the system of numeration and it defines a set of values to represent a quantity.

1- To convert 7562.45 to octal, we first convert the whole number part of the decimal, 7562, to octal.

7562 in decimal = (710^3) + (510^2) + (610^1) + (210^0) = (7512) + (564) + (68) + (21) = 3654.

So the whole number part in octal is 3654.

2- Next, we convert the fractional part of the decimal, 0.45, to octal.

0.45 in decimal = 0.45 * 8^1 = 0.36

So the fractional part in octal is 0.36

3- Combining the whole number and fractional parts, we get the final octal representation as 3654.36

4- To convert 1938.257 to hexadecimal, we first convert the whole number part of the decimal, 1938, to hexadecimal.

1938 in decimal = (110^3) + (910^2) + (310^1) + (810^0) = (11024) + (9256) + (316) + (81) = 774.

So the whole number part in hexadecimal is 774.

5- Next, we convert the fractional part of the decimal, 0.257, to hexadecimal.

0.257 in decimal = 0.257 * 16^1 = 0.4112

So the fractional part in hexadecimal is 0.4112

6- Combining the whole number and fractional parts, we get the final hexadecimal representation as 774.4112

7- To convert 175.175 to binary, we first convert the whole number part of the decimal, 175, to binary.

175 in decimal = (110^2) + (710^1) + (510^0) = (1100) + (710) + (51) = 10101111

So the whole number part in binary is 10101111

8- Next, we convert the fractional part of the decimal, 0.175, to binary.

0.175 in decimal = (12^-1) + (72^-3) + (5*2^-4) = 0.110111

So the fractional part in binary is 0.110111

9- Combining the whole number and fractional parts, we get the final binary representation as 10101111.110111

Hence, the octal representation of 7562.45 is 3654.36, the hexadecimal representation 1938.257 of is 774.4112, and the binary representation of 175.175 is 10101111.110111.

In circle the length of PQ = 24 inches.

What is Circle?

A circle is a closed, two-dimensional object in which all points in the plane are equally spaced apart from the centre. The line of reflection symmetry is formed by each line that traverses the circle. Additionally, it possesses rotational symmetry around the centre for each angle.

Since AB= 25 inches and AC = 16 inches then

=> BC = AB-AC = 25-16 = 9 inches.

∠APB is a right angle because it is inscribed in a semicircle.

The three right triangles ᐃAPB, ᐃACP and ᐃPCB are all similar

because their corresponding angles are equal.  Therefore

=> [tex]\frac{AC}{PC}=\frac{PC}{BC}[/tex]

=> [tex]\frac{16}{PC}=\frac{PC}{9}[/tex]

=> [tex]PC^2 = 25*9 = 144 = 12^2[/tex]

=> PC = 12 inches

By symmetry , PC = QC then,

=> PQ = 12*2 = 24 inches.

The simple interest is I = $ 303.33  and the amount after 2 months with rate of 13 % is A = $ 14,303.33

Simple interest is a method of calculating interest that ignores the impact of compounding. While interest frequently compounds throughout the course of a loan's set periods, simple interest does not. Simple interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by the interest rate, times the number of periods.

Simple Interest = ( Principal Amount x Rate x Time Period ) / 100

Given data ,

Let the simple interest be represented as I

Let the amount with simple interest be A = P + I

Now , the principal P = $ 14,000

The rate of interest R = 13 %

The number of months = 2 months

The number of years = 2/12 years

Simple Interest I = ( Principal Amount x Rate x Time Period ) / 100

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Simple Interest I = ( 14,000 x 13 x ( 2/12 ) ) / 100

On simplifying the equation , we get

Simple Interest I = $ 303.33

Now , the amount after 2 months = P + I

Amount = $ 14,000 + $ 303.33 = $ 14,303.33

Answer:To show that Lorenz curves are always concave up on the interval [0, 1], we can use the definition of a Lorenz curve, which is L(x) = xp. Taking the second derivative of L(x) with respect to x gives us L''(x) = p. Since p is always greater than 0, L''(x) is always greater than 0. This means that L(x) is always concave up on the interval [0, 1].

Table of Lorenz values for p = 1.2, 1.5, 2.1, 2.5, 3, and 5:

a. The value of p that corresponds to the most equitable distribution of wealth is 1, as this would mean that the proportion of wealth held by each portion of the population is equal.

b. The value of p that corresponds to the least equitable distribution of wealth is 5, as this would mean that a small portion of the population holds a large proportion of the wealth.

The Gini Index is a measure of income inequality, where a value of 0 represents perfect equality (everyone has the same income) and a value of 1 represents perfect inequality (one person has all the income). The Gini Index is calculated as the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of equality to the total area beneath the line of equality.

To find A and B for the Gini index we can use the following integral:

A = ∫(L(x) - x) dx from 0 to 1

B = ∫(x - L(x)) dx from 0 to 1

We can then solve the integral for each specific function of L(x) = xp to find the specific value of A and B.

Answer:....

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start solving the problem by using a system of equations. Let's call the number of ounces of solution a x and the number of ounces of solution b y. From the problem statement, we know that:

x + y = 150 (because the total amount of the mixture is 150 ounces)

0.6x + 0.9y = 0.65(x + y) (because the mixture is 65% salt, and we can find the amount of salt in the mixture by multiplying the percentage by the total amount)

We can use the first equation to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other:

y = 150 - x

Now we can substitute this expression for y into the second equation:

0.6x + 0.9(150 - x) = 0.65(150)

0.6x + 135 - 0.9x = 97.5

-0.3x = -37.5

x = 125

Now we can use the first equation to find the value of y:

y = 150 - x

y = 150 - 125

y = 25

So the scientist should use 125 ounces of solution a and 25 ounces of solution b to obtain 150 ounces of a mixture that is 65% salt.

The smaller number is 15 and the larger number is 36.

Let x and y be the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.

From the given information, we know:

y = x + 21 (because the larger number is 21 more than the smaller number)

x + y = 51 (because the sum of the two numbers is 51)

We can substitute the first equation into the second equation to find the value of x:

x + (x + 21) = 51

x + x + 21 = 51

2x = 30

x = 15

Now that we know the value of x, we can use the first equation to find the value of y:

y = x + 21

y = 15 + 21

y = 36

So the smaller number is 15 and the larger number is 36.
