Answer: (√2 - √6)/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the sum formula: sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
Let's say A = 135° and B = 30°
sin(135° + 30°) = sin(135°) * cos(30°) + cos (135°) * sin(30°)
= (√2)/2 * 1/2 + (-√2)/2 * (√3)/2
= (√2)/4 + (-√6)/4
= (√2 - √6)/4

In some? country's Congress, the number of Representatives is 20 less than five times the number of Senators. There are a total of 520 members. Find the number of Senators and the number of Representatives.
Answer:
Senators: 90Representatives: 430Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of Senators in the Congress. Then the number of Representatives is (5s-20) and the total number of members is ...
s + (5s -20) = 520
6s = 540 . . . . . . . . . add 20, simplify
s = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
The number of Senators is 90; the number of Representatives is 430.
_____
You can find the number of Representatives either as 520 -90 = 430 or as 5·90 -20 = 430.
A student wrote the matrix below to represent the solution to a system of equations.
Which of the following describes the solution?
A. No solution
B. An infinite number of solutions
C. (-2, 0, -1)
D. (5, -2, -1)
Answer:
Option A is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The following matrix represent the augmented matrix
In augmented matrix the left side represent the co-efficient of the variables and right side represent the value of variables.
Since the matrix has been solved and reduced so, the solution of variables x, y and z is written on right side of augmented matrix
The given matrix is:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&5&-2\\0&0&3&0\\0&0&0&-1\end{array}\right][/tex]
Since the last row is all zero and we have a non zero entry for the solution, the matrix is inconsistent.
As the variables have zero values, there cannot be any solution
So, there is no solution.
So, Option A is correct.
Answer:
A) No solution!

A population of geese grow in such a way that each generation is simply 2.2 times the previous generation. There were 3 geese in the first generation, how many will there be by the 15th generation?
Answer:
186655 geese
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question , the next generation is calculated by multiplying the current generation by 2.2. Let's do a simple math;
1st generation = 3
2nd generation= 3×2.2=6.6
3rd generation=6.6×2.2=14.52
4th generation=14.52×2.2=31.94
5th generation=31.94×2.2=70.28
6th generation= 70.28×2.2=154.61
7th generation=154.62×2.2=340.14
8th generation=340.14×2.2=748.31
9th generation=748.31×2.2=1646.28
10th generation=1646.28×2.2=3621.81
11th generation=3621.81×2.2=7967.98
12th generation=7967.98×2.2=17529.55
13th generation=17529.55×2.2=38565.0
14th generation=38565.0×2.2=84843.02
15th generation=84843.02×2.2=186654.64
=186655 geese
OR
If current generation is calculated as the previous generation multiplied by a factor then you should see that this is an exponential function.In this case
Original number of geese=3
Factor of multiplication is =2.2
Exponential function for first generation is =0
How? see here
[tex]1st=3*2.2^0=3*1=3\\\\2nd=3*2.2^1=3*2.2=6.6\\\\3rd=3*2.2^2=3*4.84=14.52[/tex]
So from the above you can derive an expression for 15th generation
You notice for 1st generation , the exponent is 0
For the 2nd generation the exponent is is 1
For the 3rd generation the exponent is 2
Thus for the nth generation the exponent will be n-1
Your expression for nth generation can now be;
[tex]nth=3*2.2^{n-1}[/tex]
For 15th generation
[tex]15th=3*2.2^{15-1} =3*2.2^{14} =186654.63\\\\\\=186655[/tex]
Find the area of the trapezoid .
Answer:
303.66 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (a + b)
where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases
here h = 12.6, a = 19 and b = 29.2, so
A = 0.5 × 12.6 × (19 + 29.2)
= 0.5 × 12.6 × 48.2 = 303.66 in²
Answer: THIRD OPTION.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid can be calculated with this formula:
[tex]A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)[/tex]
Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is the short base.
You can identify that:
[tex]h=12.6in\\B=29.2in\\b=19in[/tex]
Therefore, you need to substitute these values into the formula [tex]A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)[/tex] to calculate the area of that trapezoid. This is:
[tex]A=\frac{12.6in}{2}(29.2in+19in)\\\\A=303.66in^2[/tex]
This matches with the third option.
a country has a population of about 124 million people and an area of about 1.95km^2.
what is the population density of the country?
round to the nearest whole number
64 people/km^2
82 people/km^2
122 people/km^2
242 people/km^2
Answer:
64 people/m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The population density can be found by diving the number of people by the amount of area
I assume that the answer should be in metre squares or the area should be 1.95 million km^2
124000000/(1.95*1000000)
=63.5897...
=64 people/m^2
Answer:
64M people/km^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the density of population you just have to divide the population by the area of the country or region that you are calculation, in this case it wouldbe like this:
Density of population= [tex]\frac{124 M}{1.95 km^{2} }[/tex]
D= [tex]\frac{124 M}{1.95 km^{2} }[/tex]= 63,58 M[tex]\frac{M}{km^{2} }[/tex]
So rounded to the neares whoel number would be 64 M people per squared kilometer.

Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x?a. 4x^2 + 26x + 45 = 0b. 4x^2 + 26x − 3 = 0c. x^2 + 13x − 3 = 0d. x^2 + 13x + 45 = 0
Answer:
[tex]4x^2+26x-3 = 0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the total area of Frame and Painting is 45 Sq Fts.
Dimensions of painting are 6 feet and 7 feet. Hence.
Let us assume the uniform thickness of frame is x
Hence the Length of frame with painting = 7+2x
and breadth = 6+2x
Area of the frame = length * breadth
[tex]45=(7+2x)(6+2x)\\45=42+14x+12x+4x^2\\45=42+26x+4x^2\\4x^2+26x+42-45\\4x^2+26x-3=0\\[/tex]

18. The supplement of an angle of 72° is an angle measuring
A. 144°.
B. 18°.
C. 108°.
D. 288°.
Answer: OPTION C.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, it is important to remember the definition of "Suplementary angles".
By definition, two angles are supplementary if they add up 180 degrees.
Therefore, the measure of the supplement angle of 72 degrees can be found by setting up the following expression:
[tex]x+72\°=180\°[/tex]
Being "x" the measure of the supplement angle of 72 degrees.
Finally, you need to solve for "x":
[tex]x=180\°-72\°\\\\x=108\°[/tex]
This matches with the option C.
given f(x)= 9x+1 and g(x)=x^3, choose the expression (f*g)(x)
[tex](f\cdot g)(x)=(9x+1)\cdot x^3=9x^4+x^3[/tex]

Susu is solving the quadratic equation 4x2 – 8x – 13 = 0 by completing the square. Her first four steps are shown in the table. In which step did Susu first make an error? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Answer:
Step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
when solving by completing the square you are supposed to do (b/2)^2 and then add that to both sides.
In your example (-8/2)^2=16
You are supposed to add sixteen to both sides not 64
Susu forgot to divide 8 by 2 before she raised it to the to the second powerm that is why she got 64, which is incorrect.
Answer:
Step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Susu is solving the quadratic equation [tex]4x^2 - 8x - 13 = 0[/tex] by completing the square
To apply completing the square method we need to get x^2 alone
Susu added 13 on both sides . So step 1 is correct
When we factor out 4, we divide both terms by 4
[tex]4(\frac{4x^2}{4} -\frac{8x}{2} )=13[/tex]
[tex]4(x^2-2x)=13[/tex]
Susu forgot to divide 8 by 4

Determine whether the function shown in the graph is even or odd.
Answer:
D. The function is odd because it is symmetric with respect to the origin.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a graph of a function. We are asked to determine whether our given function is odd or even.
We know that a function is even, when it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
We also know that a function is odd, when it is symmetric with respect to the origin.
Upon looking at our given graph, we can see that it is symmetric about the origin, therefore, option D is the correct choice.
The function is odd because it is symmetric with respect to the origin.
(Option D)
Further explanationWe will determine whether the function is shown in the graph is even or odd.
Let us recall how to distinguish whether the function graph is included in an even or odd function.
Even Functions
A function f is even if, for each x in its domain, [tex]\boxed{ \ f(-x) = f(x) \ }[/tex].The graph of an even function is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. In order to complete the graph for an even function just imagine the y-axis as a mirror and draw the reflection of each point on the other side.Examples: [tex]\boxed{ \ f(x) = x^2 \ } \boxed{ \ f(x) = 2x^4 - 4 \ } \boxed{ \ f(x) = sin \ x \ for \ -360^0 \leq x \leq 360^0 \ }[/tex]Odd Functions
A function f is odd if, for each x in its domain, [tex]\boxed{ \ f(-x) = -f(x) \ }[/tex].The graph of an odd function is symmetric with respect to the origin.In order to complete the graph for an odd function connect each point with the origin and extend that line to the other side of the origin until we have the same distance.Examples: [tex]\boxed{ \ f(x) = x^3 \ } \boxed{ \ f(x) = 2x^3 - 4x \ } \boxed{ \ f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 1}{2x} \ } \boxed{ \ f(x) = tan \ x \ }[/tex]Generally, the functions that we face are neither even nor odd.

A transformation or sequence of transformations that can be performed on polygon ABCDE to show that it is congruent to polygon MNOPQ is a
If polygon MNOPQ is translated 3 units right and 5 units down, it will coincide with a congruent polygon, VWXYZ, with its vertices at
Answer:
Part 1: The polygon ABCDE reflected across y-axis to get the polygon MNOPQ. So, the polygon ABCDE congruent to polygon MNOPQ.
Part 2: The vertices of polygon VWXYZ are V(1, 3), W(-1, 7), X(-7, 7), Y(-5, 3), and Z(-3, 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
The vertices of the polygon ABCDE are A(2, 8), B(4, 12), C(10, 12), D(8, 8), and E(6, 6).
The vertices of the polygon MNOPQ are M(-2, 8), N(-4, 12), O(-10, 12), P(-8, 8), and Q(-6, 6).
We need to find the transformation or sequence of transformations that can be performed on polygon ABCDE to show that it is congruent to polygon MNOPQ.
The relation between the vertices of ABCDE and MNOPQ are defined as
[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)[/tex]
It means the polygon ABCDE reflected across y-axis to get the polygon MNOPQ. So, the polygon ABCDE congruent to polygon MNOPQ.
Part 2:
If polygon MNOPQ is translated 3 units right and 5 units down, then
[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x+3,y-5)[/tex]
[tex]M(-2,8)\rightarrow V(-2+3,8-5)=V(1,3)[/tex]
[tex]N(-4,12)\rightarrow W(-4+3,12-5)=W(-1,7)[/tex]
[tex]O(-10,12)\rightarrow X(-10+3,12-5)=X(-7,7)[/tex]
[tex]P(-8,8)\rightarrow Y(-8+3,8-5)=Y(-5,3)[/tex]
[tex]Q(-6,6)\rightarrow Z(-6+3,6-5)=Z(-3,1)[/tex]
Therefore the vertices of polygon VWXYZ are V(1, 3), W(-1, 7), X(-7, 7), Y(-5, 3), and Z(-3, 1).

y = 2(5^x) - 1
The answer is:
The range of the function is:
Range: y>2
or
Range: (2,∞+)
Why?To calculate the range of the following function (exponential function) we need to perform the following steps:
First: Find the value of "x"
So, finding "x" we have:
[tex]y=2(5^{x}-1)\\\frac{y}{2}=5^{x}-1\\\\\frac{y}{2}-1=5^{x}\\\\Log_{5}(\frac{y}{2}-1)=Log_5(5^{x})\\\\x=Log_{5}(\frac{y}{2}-1)[/tex]
Second: Interpret the restriction of the function:
Since we are working with logarithms, we know that the only restriction that we found is that the logarithmic functions exist only from 0 to the possitive infinite without considering the number 1.
So, we can see that if the variable "x" is a real number, "y" must be greater than 2 because if it's equal to 2 the expression inside the logarithm will tend to 0, and since the logarithm of 0 does not exist in the real numbers, the variable "x" would not be equal to a real number.
Hence, the range of the function is:
Range: y>2
or
Range: (2,∞+)
Note: I have attached a picture (the graph of the function) for better understanding.
Have a nice day!
Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation –2 = –x + x2 – 4 into the quadratic formula? Quadratic formula: x =
Answer:
The answer in the procedure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]2=-x+x^{2} -4[/tex]
[tex]x^{2}-x-4-2=0[/tex]
[tex]x^{2}-x-6=0[/tex]
we know that
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
[tex]ax^{2} +bx+c=0[/tex]
is equal to
[tex]x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}[/tex]
in this problem we have
[tex]x^{2}-x-6=0[/tex]
so
[tex]a=1\\b=-1\\c=-6[/tex]
substitute in the formula
[tex]x=\frac{-(-1)(+/-)\sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1)(-6)}} {2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1(+/-)\sqrt{25}} {2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1(+/-)5} {2}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1(+)5} {2}=3[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1(-)5} {2}=-2[/tex]
