120º is in the second quadrant, hence the equivalent on the first quadrant is:
180º - 120º = 60º.
The sine on the second quadrant is positive, hence:
[tex]\sin{120^\circ} = \sin{60^{\circ}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]
The cosine on the second quadrant is negative, hence:
[tex]\cos{120^\circ} = \cos{60^{\circ}} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

================================================
Explanation:
These are the steps to focus on
step 3: -6x - 8 < -2
step 4: -6x < 6
The move from the third step to the fourth step has us adding 8 to both sides. Therefore, we use the addition property of inequality.
That property has four forms

A tank originally contains 100 gallon of fresh water. Then water containing 0.5 Lb of salt per gallon is pourd into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/minute, and the mixture is allowed to leave at the same rate. After 10 minute the process is stopped, and fresh water is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 gal/min, with the mixture again leaving at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at end of an additional 10 minutes.
Let [tex]S(t)[/tex] denote the amount of salt (in lbs) in the tank at time [tex]t[/tex] min up to the 10th minute. The tank starts with 100 gal of fresh water, so [tex]S(0)=0[/tex].
Salt flows into the tank at a rate of
[tex]\left(0.5\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm gal}\right) \left(2\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = 1\dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}[/tex]
and flows out with rate
[tex]\left(\dfrac{S(t)\,\rm lb}{100\,\mathrm{gal} + \left(2\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min} - 2\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t}\right) \left(2\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac{S(t)}{50} \dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}[/tex]
Then the net rate of change in the salt content of the mixture is governed by the linear differential equation
[tex]\dfrac{dS}{dt} = 1 - \dfrac S{50}[/tex]
Solving with an integrating factor, we have
[tex]\dfrac{dS}{dt} + \dfrac S{50} = 1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dS}{dt} e^{t/50}+ \dfrac1{50}Se^{t/50} = e^{t/50}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt} \left(S e^{t/50}\right) = e^{t/50}[/tex]
By the fundamental theorem of calculus, integrating both sides yields
[tex]\displaystyle S e^{t/50} = Se^{t/50}\bigg|_{t=0} + \int_0^t e^{u/50}\, du[/tex]
[tex]S e^{t/50} = S(0) + 50(e^{t/50} - 1)[/tex]
[tex]S = 50 - 50e^{-t/50}[/tex]
After 10 min, the tank contains
[tex]S(10) = 50 - 50e^{-10/50} = 50 \dfrac{e^{1/5}-1}{e^{1/5}} \approx 9.063 \,\rm lb[/tex]
of salt.
Now let [tex]\hat S(t)[/tex] denote the amount of salt in the tank at time [tex]t[/tex] min after the first 10 minutes have elapsed, with initial value [tex]\hat S(0)=S(10)[/tex].
Fresh water is poured into the tank, so there is no salt inflow. The salt that remains in the tank flows out at a rate of
[tex]\left(\dfrac{\hat S(t)\,\rm lb}{100\,\mathrm{gal}+\left(2\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}-2\frac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right)t}\right) \left(2\dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm min}\right) = \dfrac{\hat S(t)}{50} \dfrac{\rm lb}{\rm min}[/tex]
so that [tex]\hat S[/tex] is given by the differential equation
[tex]\dfrac{d\hat S}{dt} = -\dfrac{\hat S}{50}[/tex]
We solve this equation in exactly the same way.
[tex]\dfrac{d\hat S}{dt} + \dfrac{\hat S}{50} = 0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d\hat S}{dt} e^{t/50} + \dfrac1{50}\hat S e^{t/50} = 0[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt} \left(\hat S e^{t/50}\right) = 0[/tex]
[tex]\hat S e^{t/50} = \hat S(0)[/tex]
[tex]\hat S = 50 \dfrac{e^{1/5}-1}{e^{1/5}} e^{-t/50}[/tex]
After another 10 min, the tank has
[tex]\hat S(10) = 50 \dfrac{e^{1/5}-1}{e^{1/5}} e^{-1/5} = 50 \dfrac{e^{1/5}-1}{e^{2/5}} \approx \boxed{7.421}[/tex]

The radius of the large cone is 5 inches, and its height is 12 inches.
Each of the smaller cones has a radius of 2.5 inches and a height of 6 inches.
Does the large cone hold more ice cream, or do the four smaller cones combined?
Which is the better deal? Provide mathematical justification for your answer.
The large cone can hold more ice cream than the four smaller cones combined.
The large cone is a better deal.
What is a cone?A cone is a three-dimensional structure with a round base and a point at the top, known as the vertex.
A cone is a three-dimensional solid geometric object with a point at the top and a circular base. A cone has a vertex and one face. For a cone, there are no edges.
The radius, height, and slant height of the cone are its three constituent parts.
For the supersized cone,
Volume = π(5)(5)(12)/3 = 314.29 cubic inches
For a small cone,
Volume= π(2.5)(2.5)(6)/3 = 39.29 cubic inches
Combined volume of 4 such cones = 4*39.29 = 157.16 cubic inches
As the volume of the larger cone is more, thus it holds more ice cream. Also it is a better deal, as it costs less than 4 small cones.

20) A clinical trial was conducted using a new method designed to increase
the probability of conceiving a girl. As of this writing, 914 babies were
born to parents using the new method, and 877 of them were girls. Use a
(b).01 significance level to test the claim that the new method is effective in
increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a girl. Use the P-value method
and the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial
distribution.

c. What is the P-value?
d. What is the conclusion about the null hypothesis?
e. What is the final conclusion?
The test statistic is 27.8484, the p-value is 0, and the final conclusion is that the null hypothesis H is rejected.
Given that 914 babies were born to parents who used the new method, and 877 of them were girls, the significance level to test the claim that the new method is effective in increasing the likelihood of a baby being a girl, is 0.01.
The following information is provided: the sample size is N = 914, the number of favorable cases is X = 877, and the sampling ratio is
pˉ = X / N
Pˉ = 877/914
pˉ = 0.9595 and the significance level is α = 0.01
(a) Hypothesis Zero and Alternative
The following null and alternative hypotheses should be tested:
null: p = 0.5
Alternative: p> 0.5
This is equivalent to a right-tailed test, which requires a z-test for a proportion of the population.
(b) Critical Value
Based on the information provided, the significance level is α = 0.01, so the critical value for this right-tailed test is Zc = 2.3263. This can be found using Excel or the Z distribution table. Region of rejection
The rejection area for this test on the right side is Z> 2.3263
Test statistics
The z-statistic is calculated as follows:
[tex]\begin{aligned}Z&=\frac{\bar{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\ &=\frac{0.9595-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{914}}}\\ &=\frac{0.4595}{0.0165}\\ &=27.8484\end[/tex]
(c) The p-value
The p-value is the probability that the sample results are extreme or more extreme than the sample results obtained, assuming the null hypothesis is true. In this case,
the p-value is p = P (Z> 27.8484) = 0
(d) The decision on the null hypothesis
Using the traditional method
Since we observe that Z = 27.8484> Zc = 2.3263, we conclude that the null hypothesis is rejected.
Using the p-value method
Using the approximation of the P-value: the p-value is p = 0, and since p = 0≤0.01 we conclude that the null hypothesis is rejected.
(e) Conclusion
It is concluded that the null hypothesis H is rejected. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to state that the population proportion p is greater than 0.5, at the significance level of 0.01.
Hence, for 914 babies born to parents using the new method, of which 877 were girls, the test statistic is 27.8484, the p-value is 0, and the final conclusion is that the null hypothesis is rejected.
