Notice that
• <em>π</em>/2 = <em>π</em>/3 + <em>π</em>/6
• <em>π</em>/6 = <em>π</em>/3 - <em>π</em>/6
Recall the angle sum identities for sine:
sin(<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>y</em>) + cos(<em>x</em>) sin(<em>y</em>)
sin(<em>x</em> - <em>y</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>y</em>) - cos(<em>x</em>) sin(<em>y</em>)
By adding these together, we get
sin(<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) + sin(<em>x</em> - <em>y</em>) = 2 sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>y</em>)
==> sin(<em>x</em>) cos(<em>y</em>) = 1/2 (sin(<em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) + sin(<em>x</em> - <em>y</em>))
Now take <em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/3 and <em>y</em> = <em>π</em>/6 :
sin(<em>π</em>/3) cos(<em>π</em>/6) = 1/2 (sin(<em>π</em>/2) + sin(<em>π</em>/6))
So the blank should be filled with cos.
Answer:
The statement means that after 2 hours, there are 90 bacteria in the culture.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of bacteria after x hours is given by the function states in the exercise. We have that f(x) will be the number of bacteria after x hours.
Which statement best describes the meaning of the equation f(2) = 90 ?
The statement means that after 2 hours, there are 90 bacteria in the culture.
