The correct choice is B. The solution is the empty set.

To solve the equation cotθ + 3cscθ = 5 over the interval [0°, 360°), we can rewrite the equation using trigonometric identities.

Recall that cotθ = 1/tanθ and cscθ = 1/sinθ. Substitute these values into the equation:

1/tanθ + 3(1/sinθ) = 5

To simplify the equation further, we can find a common denominator for the terms on the left side:

(sinθ + 3cosθ)/sinθ = 5

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by sinθ to eliminate the denominator:

sinθ(sinθ + 3cosθ)/sinθ = 5sinθ

simplifies to:

sinθ + 3cosθ = 5sinθ

Now we have an equation involving sinθ and cosθ. We can use trigonometric identities to simplify it further.

From the Pythagorean identity, sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, we can rewrite sinθ as √(1 - cos²θ):

√(1 - cos²θ) + 3cosθ = 5sinθ

Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:

1 - cos²θ + 6cosθ + 9cos²θ = 25sin²θ

Simplify the equation:

10cos²θ + 6cosθ - 25sin²θ - 1 = 0

At this point, we can use a trigonometric identity to express sin²θ in terms of cos²θ:

1 - cos²θ = sin²θ

Substitute sin²θ with 1 - cos²θ in the equation:

10cos²θ + 6cosθ - 25(1 - cos²θ) - 1 = 0

10cos²θ + 6cosθ - 25 + 25cos²θ - 1 = 0

Combine like terms:

35cos²θ + 6cosθ - 26 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation in terms of cosθ. We can solve this equation using factoring, quadratic formula, or other methods.

However, when solving for cosθ, we can see that this equation does not yield any real solutions within the interval [0°, 360°). Therefore, the solution to the equation cotθ + 3cscθ = 5 over the interval [0°, 360°) is the empty set.

Therefore, the monthly payment for the sailboat is approximately $238.46, and the total interest paid over the 13-year period is approximately $11,834.76.

To calculate the monthly payment and the total interest paid, we can use the formula for the monthly payment of an amortized loan:

[tex]P = (PV * r * (1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)[/tex]

Where:

P = Monthly payment

PV = Present value or loan amount

r = Monthly interest rate

n = Total number of monthly payments

Given:

PV = $25,385

r = 6.6% per year (monthly interest rate = 6.6% / 12)

n = 13 years (156 months)

First, we need to convert the annual interest rate to a monthly rate:

r = 6.6% / 12

= 0.066 / 12

= 0.0055

Now we can calculate the monthly payment:

[tex]P = (25385 * 0.0055 * (1 + 0.0055)^{156}) / ((1 + 0.0055)^{156} - 1)[/tex]

Using a financial calculator or spreadsheet software, the monthly payment is approximately $238.46.

To calculate the total interest paid, we can subtract the loan amount from the total of all monthly payments over 13 years:

Total interest paid = (Monthly payment * Total number of payments) - Loan amount

= (238.46 * 156) - 25385

= 37219.76 - 25385

= $11,834.76

b. The vector equation of the line parallel to the y-axis and passing through point (1, 3, 5) is r = i + (3 + t)j + 5k, where t is any real number.

c. The scalar equation of the plane is:ax + by + cz = dwhere a, b, and c are the components of the normal vector, and d is the distance of the plane from the origin.

a) The vector equation of a line passing through points A and B can be written as: r = a + tb,

where r is the position vector of any point P(x, y, z) on the line, a is the position vector of point A, b is the direction vector of the line, and t is a parameter representing the distance of the point P from point A

.r = a + tb = (4, −5, 3) + t (3 − 4, −7 + 5t, 1 − 3t) = (4 − t, −5 + 2t, 3 − t)

Thus, the vector equation of the line passing through points A(4, −5, 3) and B(3, −7, 1) is r = (4 − t)i − 5j + (3 − t)k, where t is any real number.

b) Any line parallel to the y-axis has direction vector d = (0, 1, 0).

The line passes through the point (1, 3, 5).

The vector equation of the line can be written as:

r = a + td = (1, 3, 5) + t(0, 1, 0) = (1, 3 + t, 5)

Thus, the vector equation of the line parallel to the y-axis and passing through point (1, 3, 5) is r = i + (3 + t)j + 5k, where t is any real number.

c) A line perpendicular to the y-plane must have a direction vector parallel to the y-axis, i.e., d = (0, 1, 0). The line passes through point (0, 1, 2).

The vector equation of the line can be written as:

r = a + td = (0, 1, 2) + t(0, 1, 0) = (0, 1 + t, 2)

Thus, the vector equation of the line perpendicular to the y-plane and passing through point (0, 1, 2) is

r = ti + (1 + t)j + 2k, where t is any real number.5)

The vector equation of the plane can be written as: r = r0 + su + tv, where r is the position vector of any point P(x, y, z) on the plane, r0 is the position vector of the point where the normal vector intersects the plane, u and v are vectors in the plane and s and t are parameters.

r = [2, 1, 4] + i[-2, 5, 3] + s[1, 0, -5]r = [2, 1, 4] - 2i + 5j + 3i + s[1, 0, -5]r = (2 + s)i + j - 2s + (4 - 2i + 5j + 3i) + t[1, 0, -5]r = (2 + s)i - i + 6j + (4 + 3i) - 2s + t[1, 0, -5]r = (s + 2)i + 6j - 2s + (3i + 4) + t[-5, 0, 1]r = (s - 2)i + 6j - 2s + 3it + 4 + t * [-5, 0, 1]

The scalar equation of the plane is:ax + by + cz = dwhere a, b, and c are the components of the normal vector, and d is the distance of the plane from the origin.

To find the components of the normal vector, we can take the cross product of the vectors in the plane:n = u x v = [1, 0, -5] x [-2, 5, 3] = [-5, -13, -5]

The components of the normal vector are a = -5, b = -13, and c = -5.

To find the distance of the plane from the origin, we can use the fact that the position vector of any point on the plane is perpendicular to the normal vector.

The position vector of the point [2, 1, 4] is:r = [2, 1, 4] = (s - 2)i + 6j - 2s + 3it + 4 + t * [-5, 0, 1]

Equating the dot product of r and n to zero gives:-5(s - 2) - 13(6) - 5(-2s + 3t + 4) = 0

Simplifying this equation gives:24s - 15t - 67 = 0

Thus, the distance of the plane from the origin is |67/24|. The scalar equation of the plane is:-5x - 13y - 5z = 67/24.

r = (4, -5, 3) + t(-1, -2, -2)

The vector equation of the line is:

r = (1, 3, 5) + t(0, 1, 0)

The vector equation of the line is:

r = (0, 1, 2) + t(1, 0, 0)

25(x - 2) + 13(y - 1) + 5(z - 4) = 0

Simplifying this equation gives the scalar equation of the plane.

a) To find the vector equation of the line through the points A(4, -5, 3) and B(3, -7, 1), we can use the direction vector given by the difference between the two points:

Direction vector: AB = B - A = (3, -7, 1) - (4, -5, 3) = (-1, -2, -2)

Now, we can write the vector equation of the line as:

r = A + t(AB)

where r is the position vector of any point on the line and t is a parameter.

Therefore, the vector equation of the line is:

r = (4, -5, 3) + t(-1, -2, -2)

b) To find the vector equation of the line parallel to the y-axis and containing the point (1, 3, 5), we can use the direction vector (0, 1, 0) since it is parallel to the y-axis.

Therefore, the vector equation of the line is:

r = (1, 3, 5) + t(0, 1, 0)

c) To find the vector equation of the line perpendicular to the y-plane and passing through the point (0, 1, 2), we can use a direction vector that is perpendicular to the y-plane. One such vector is (1, 0, 0) which points along the x-axis.

Therefore, the vector equation of the line is:

r = (0, 1, 2) + t(1, 0, 0)

5. To write the scalar equation of the plane given by the vector equation [x, y, z] = [2, 1, 4] + i[-2, 5, 3] + s[1, 0, -5], we can use the point-normal form of the equation of a plane.

The normal vector of the plane can be found by taking the cross product of the two direction vectors given:

n = [-2, 5, 3] × [1, 0, -5]

  = [(-5)(-5) - (3)(0), (3)(1) - (-2)(-5), (-2)(0) - (-5)(1)]

  = [25, 13, 5]

The scalar equation of the plane is given by:

n · ([x, y, z] - P) = 0

where n is the normal vector and P is a point on the plane. Using the given point [2, 1, 4]:

25(x - 2) + 13(y - 1) + 5(z - 4) = 0

The system is inconsistent if n = 20. Hence, the values of n such that the it is inconsistent system for 20.

Given the system of linear equations:

x - 5y = -2 .... (1)

ny - 4x = 8 ..... (2)

To determine the values of n such that the system is consistent and to explain whether it has unique solutions or infinitely many solutions.

Rearrange equations (1) and (2):

x = 5y - 2 ..... (3)

ny - 4x = 8 .... (4)

Substitute equation (3) into equation (4) to eliminate x:

ny - 4(5y - 2) = 8

⇒ ny - 20y + 8 = 8

⇒ (n - 20)

y = 0 ..... (5)

Equation (5) is consistent for all values of n except n = 20.

Therefore, the system is consistent for all values of n except n = 20.If n ≠ 20, equation (5) reduces to y = 0, which can be substituted back into equation (3) to get x = -2/5

Therefore, when n ≠ 20, the system has a unique solution.

When n = 20, the system has infinitely many solutions.

To see this, notice that equation (5) becomes 0 = 0 when n = 20, indicating that y can take on any value and x can be expressed in terms of y from equation (3).

Therefore, the values of n for which the system is consistent are all real numbers except 20. If n ≠ 20, the system has a unique solution.

If n = 20, the system has infinitely many solutions.

To determine the values of n such that the system is inconsistent, we use the fact that the system is inconsistent if and only if the coefficients of x and y in equation (1) and (2) are proportional.

In other words, the system is inconsistent if and only if:

1/-4 = -5/n

⇒ n = 20.

The inverse of f(x) is f^(-1)(x) = (x + 2)/6.

(a) The given function is f(x) = 6x - 2. To find the inverse of f, we interchange x and y and solve for y.

Step 1: Replace f(x) with y:

y = 6x - 2

Step 2: Swap x and y:

x = 6y - 2

Step 3: Solve for y:

x + 2 = 6y

(x + 2)/6 = y

Therefore, the inverse of f(x) is f^(-1)(x) = (x + 2)/6.

To check the answer, we can verify if f(f^(-1)(x)) = x and f^(-1)(f(x)) = x. Upon substitution and simplification, both equations hold true.

(b) The domain of f is all real numbers since there are no restrictions on x. The range of f is also all real numbers since the function is a linear equation with a non-zero slope.

The domain of f^(-1) is also all real numbers. The range of f^(-1) is all real numbers except -2/6, which is excluded since it would result in division by zero in the inverse function.

(c) On the same coordinate axes, the graph of f(x) = 6x - 2 would be a straight line with a slope of 6 and y-intercept of -2. The graph of f^(-1)(x) = (x + 2)/6 would be a different straight line with a slope of 1/6 and y-intercept of 2/6. The graph of y = x is a diagonal line passing through the origin with a slope of 1.

6a. To select two red marbles, the probability of selecting the first red marble is P(red) = 5/12, as there are 5 red marbles out of 12. Since the first marble is not replaced, there are 4 red marbles left out of 11, thus the probability of choosing a second red marble is P(red|red) = 4/11.

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply their probabilities: P(2 red marbles) = P(red) x P(red|red) = (5/12) x (4/11) = 5/33.

6b. To select 1 red and 1 black marble, the probability of selecting a red marble first is P(red) = 5/12, as there are 5 red marbles out of 12. Once the first red marble is selected, it is not replaced, so there are 4 red marbles and 6 black marbles left in the bag.

The probability of choosing a black marble next is P(black|red) = 6/11, as there are 6 black marbles left out of 11 total marbles left. To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply their probabilities: P(1 red, 1 black) = P(red) x P(black|red) = (5/12) x (6/11) = 5/22. 6c.

The interval containing the middle 95% of the simulation data is approximately 0.3426 to 0.5374.

To create an interval containing the middle 95% of the data based on the simulation results, we can use the concept of confidence intervals. Since the simulation was repeated 100 times, we can calculate the proportion of tails in each set of 100 flips and then find the range that contains the middle 95% of these proportions.

Let's calculate the interval:

Calculate the proportion of tails in each set of 100 flips:

Proportion of tails = 44/100 = 0.44

Calculate the standard deviation of the proportions:

Standard deviation = sqrt[(0.44 * (1 - 0.44)) / 100] ≈ 0.0497

Calculate the margin of error:

Margin of error = 1.96 * standard deviation ≈ 1.96 * 0.0497 ≈ 0.0974

Calculate the lower and upper bounds of the interval:

Lower bound = proportion of tails - margin of error ≈ 0.44 - 0.0974 ≈ 0.3426

Upper bound = proportion of tails + margin of error ≈ 0.44 + 0.0974 ≈ 0.5374

Therefore, the interval containing the middle 95% of the simulation data is approximately 0.3426 to 0.5374.

Now, we can compare the observed proportion of 44 tails in 100 flips with the simulation results. If the observed proportion falls within the margin of error or within the calculated interval, then it can be considered consistent with the simulation results. If the observed proportion falls outside the interval, it suggests a deviation from the expected result.

Since the observed proportion of 44 tails in 100 flips is 0.44, and the proportion falls within the interval of 0.3426 to 0.5374, we can conclude that the observed proportion is within the margin of error of the simulation results. This means that the result of 44 tails in 100 flips is reasonably likely to occur with a fair coin based on the simulation.

To determine the additional rate of discount that Galaxy Jewelers must offer to meet the competitor's price, we need to compare the prices after the given discounts are applied.

Let's calculate the prices after the discounts:

Galaxy Jewelers:

Original price: $401.00

Discount: 10%

Discount amount: 10% of $401.00 = $40.10

Price after discount: $401.00 - $40.10 = $360.90

True Value Jewelers:

Original price: $529.00

Discounts: 36% and 8%

Discount amount: 36% of $529.00 = $190.44

Price after the first discount: $529.00 - $190.44 = $338.56

Discount amount for the second discount: 8% of $338.56 = $27.08

Price after both discounts: $338.56 - $27.08 = $311.48

Now, let's find the additional rate of discount that Galaxy Jewelers needs to offer to match the competitor's price:

Additional discount needed = Price difference between Galaxy and True Value Jewelers

= True Value Jewelers price - Galaxy Jewelers price

= $311.48 - $360.90

= -$49.42 (negative value means Galaxy's price is higher)

Since the additional discount needed is negative, it means that Galaxy Jewelers' current price is higher than the competitor's price even after the initial discount. In this case, Galaxy Jewelers would need to adjust their pricing strategy and offer a lower base price or a higher discount rate to meet the competitor's price.

When \(x = 0\), the triangle with vertices A=(-4, 3, -2), B=(-6, -1, -9), and C=(-9, 7, 0) has a right angle at A.

To find the value of \(x\) such that the triangle with vertices A=(-4, 3, -2), B=(-6, -1, -9), and C=(-9, 7, x) has a right angle at A, we can use the concept of perpendicular slopes.

Let's calculate the slope of the line segment AB and the slope of the line segment AC. The slope of a line passing through two points \((x_1, y_1, z_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2, z_2)\) is given by:

\[m = \frac{{y_2 - y_1}}{{x_2 - x_1}}\]

For line segment AB:

\[m_{AB} = \frac{{(-1) - 3}}{{(-6) - (-4)}} = -2\]

For line segment AC:

\[m_{AC} = \frac{{7 - 3}}{{(-9) - (-4)}} = \frac{1}{5}\]

Since we want a right angle at vertex A, the slopes of AB and AC should be negative reciprocals of each other. In other words, \(m_{AB} \cdot m_{AC} = -1\):

\((-2) \cdot \frac{1}{5} = -\frac{2}{5} = -1\)

Solving for \(x\) in the equation \(-\frac{2}{5} = -1\) gives us \(x = 0\).

Therefore, when \(x = 0\), the triangle with vertices A=(-4, 3, -2), B=(-6, -1, -9), and C=(-9, 7, 0) has a right angle at A.

The quadratic equation that models the population data is P = (1/500)t^2 + 2t + 100, where P represents the population and t represents the number of years after 1900.

To construct a model for the population data, we can use a quadratic equation since the population seems to be increasing at an accelerating rate over time.

Let's assume that the population, P, in the year t can be modeled by the quadratic equation P = at^2 + bt + c, where t represents the number of years after 1900.

We are given three data points: (0, 100), (50, 200), and (100, 350), representing the years 1900, 1950, and 2000, respectively.

Substituting the values into the equation, we get the following system of equations:

100 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c --> c = 100 (equation 1)

200 = a(50)^2 + b(50) + c (equation 2)

350 = a(100)^2 + b(100) + c (equation 3)

Substituting c = 100 from equation 1 into equations 2 and 3, we get:

200 = 2500a + 50b + 100 (equation 4)

350 = 10000a + 100b + 100 (equation 5)

Now, we have a system of two equations with two variables (a and b). We can solve this system to find the values of a and b.

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 5, we get:

150 = 7500a + 50b (equation 6)

Dividing equation 6 by 50, we have:3 = 150a + b (equation 7)

We can now substitute equation 7 in

to equation 4:

200 = 2500a + 50(150a + b)

200 = 2500a + 7500a + 50b

200 = 10000a + 50b

Dividing this equation by 50, we get:

4 = 200a + b (equation 8)

We now have a system of two equations with two variables:

3 = 150a + b (equation 7)

4 = 200a + b (equation 8)

Solving this system of equations, we find that a = 1/500 and b = 2.

Now, we can substitute these values of a and b back into equation 1 to find c:

c = 100

Therefore, the quadratic equation that models the population data is:

P = (1/500)t^2 + 2t + 100

The dimensions of the box that minimize the total cost are: width = 10 cm, length = 20 cm (twice the width), and height = 1 cm.

To minimize the total cost of the box, we need to find the dimensions that minimize the cost function. The cost function is given by C = 2.25 * area of the base + 1.5 * area of the four sides.

Let's denote the width of the base as w. Since the length of the base is twice the width, the length can be represented as 2w. The height of the box will be h.

Now, we need to express the areas in terms of the dimensions w and h. The area of the base is given by A_base = length * width = (2w) * w = 2w^2. The area of the four sides is given by A_sides = 2 * (length * height) + 2 * (width * height) = 2 * (2w * h) + 2 * (w * h) = 4wh + 2wh = 6wh.

Substituting the expressions for the areas into the cost function, we have C = 2.25 * 2w^2 + 1.5 * 6wh = 4.5w^2 + 9wh.

To minimize the cost, we need to find the critical points of the cost function. Taking partial derivatives with respect to w and h, we get:

dC/dw = 9w + 0 = 9w

dC/dh = 9h + 9w = 9(h + w)

Setting these derivatives equal to zero, we find two possibilities:

9w = 0 -> w = 0

h + w = 0 -> h = -w

However, since the dimensions of the box must be positive, the second possibility is not valid. Therefore, the only critical point is when w = 0.

Since the width cannot be zero, this critical point is not feasible. Therefore, we need to consider the boundary condition.

Given that the box is to hold 2000 cm^3 (2 liters), the volume of the box can be expressed as V = length * width * height = (2w) * w * h = 2w^2h.

Substituting V = 2000 cm^3 and rearranging the equation, we have h = 2000 / (2w^2) = 1000 / w^2.

Now we can substitute this expression for h in the cost function to obtain a cost equation in terms of a single variable w:

C = 4.5w^2 + 9w(1000 / w^2) = 4.5w^2 + 9000 / w.

To minimize the cost, we can take the derivative of the cost function with respect to w and set it equal to zero:

dC/dw = 9w - 9000 / w^2 = 0.

Simplifying this equation, we get 9w^3 - 9000 = 0. Dividing by 9, we have w^3 - 1000 = 0.

Solving this equation, we find w = 10.

Substituting this value of w back into the equation h = 1000 / w^2, we get h = 1.

Therefore, the dimensions of the box that minimize the total cost are: width = 10 cm, length = 20 cm (twice the width), and height = 1 cm.

The vector v can be written as 4i + 4√3j, where i and j represent the unit vectors along the x and y axes, respectively.

To write the vector v in the form ai + bj, we need to determine the values of a and b. The magnitude of v, denoted as ∥v∥, is given as 8. This means that the length of vector v is 8 units.

The direction angle θ is given as 60°, which represents the angle between the positive x-axis and the vector v.

To find the values of a and b, we can use the trigonometric relationships between the angle, the sides of a right triangle, and the values of a and b. In this case, we have a right triangle with the magnitude of v as the hypotenuse and the sides a and b corresponding to the horizontal and vertical components of the vector.

Using the given information, we can determine that a = 4 and b = 4√3. Therefore, the vector v can be written as 4i + 4√3j, where i and j represent the unit vectors along the x and y axes, respectively.

a) The statement "If hog is injective, then gg is injective" is true. b) The statement "If hog is injective, then h is injective" is false.c) The statement "If hog is surjective and h is injective, then g is surjective" is true.

a) The statement "If hog is injective, then gg is injective" is true.

Proof: Let's assume that hog is injective. To prove that gg is injective, we need to show that for any elements x₁ and x₂ in X, if gg(x₁) = gg(x₂), then x₁ = x₂.

Since gg(x) = g(g(x)) for any x in X, we can rewrite the assumption as follows: for any x₁ and x₂ in X, if g(h(x₁)) = g(h(x₂)), then x₁ = x₂.

Now, if g(h(x₁)) = g(h(x₂)), by the injectivity of g (since hog is injective), we can conclude that h(x₁) = h(x₂).

Finally, since h is a function from Y to Z, and h is injective, we can further deduce that x₁ = x₂.

Therefore, we have proved that if hog is injective, then gg is injective.

b) The statement "If hog is injective, then h is injective" is false.

Counterexample: Let's consider the following scenario: X = {1}, Y = {2, 3}, Z = {4}, g(1) = 2, h(2) = 4, h(3) = 4.

In this case, hog is injective since there is only one element in X. However, h is not injective since both elements 2 and 3 in Y map to the same element 4 in Z.

Therefore, the statement is false.

c) The statement "If hog is surjective and h is injective, then g is surjective" is true.

Proof: Let's assume that hog is surjective and h is injective. We need to prove that for any element y in Y, there exists an element x in X such that g(x) = y.

Since hog is surjective, for any y in Y, there exists an element x' in X such that hog(x') = y.

Now, let's consider an arbitrary element y in Y. Since h is injective, there is only one pre-image for y, denoted as x' in X.

Therefore, we have g(x') = y, which implies that g is surjective.

Hence, we have proved that if hog is surjective and h is injective, then g is surjective.
