Using linear function concepts, it is found that the speed of the motorboat is of 22 miles per hour.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, each second, the position increased by 22, hence the slope is of 22. Since velocity is the distance divided by the time, which in this problem is the slope, the speed of the motorboat is of 22 miles per hour.

56 thousandths - 23 thousandths=how many hundredths and thousandths?

alexandr1967 [171]

<span>56 thousandths - 23 thousandths=how many hundredths and thousandths?
Let us first solve this and get the difference of the given numbers.
=> 56 thousandths = 0.056 (there are 5 hundredths and 6 thousandths)
=> 23 thousandths = 0.023 (there are 2 hundredths and 3 thousandths)
=> 0.056 – 0.023 = 0.033 is the answer
there 3 hundredths and 3 thousandths value left after subtracting the given 2 decimal numbers.</span>

Prove the identity. (tanx+1)^2=(1+2sinxcosx)/(cos^2x)

SOVA2 [1]

$(\tan x+1)^2=\tan^2x+2\tan x+1$
$=\sec^2x+2\tan x$
$=\dfrac1{\cos^2x}+2\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$
$=\dfrac1{\cos^2x}+\dfrac{2\sin x\cos x}{\cos^2x}$
$=\dfrac{1+2\sin x\cos x}{\cos^2x}$
