Trigonometric identities Simplify cos^2 theta -1/ 4 sin^2 theta

Mathematics
1 answer:
Veronika [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

using the identity

sin²x + cos²x = 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

sin²x + cos²x - 1 = 0 ( subtract sin²x from both sides )

cos²x - 1 = - sin²x

then

\frac{cos^20-1}{4sin^20}

= \frac{-sin^20}{4sin^20} ← cancel sin²Θ on numerator and denominator

= \frac{-1}{4}

= - \frac{1}{4}

Andrea, Justin, and Virginia went to an office supply store. Andrea bought 6 pencils, 7 markers, and 8 erasers. Her total was $1
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x=0.25\,,\,y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y,z denotes number of pencils, markers, erasers respectively.

For Andrea:

6x+7y+8z=15.75\,\,\,(i)

For Justin:

6x+8y+5z=16.75\,\,\,(ii)

For Virginia:

5x+5y+7z=11.75\,\,\,(iii)

On subtracting equations (i) and (ii), we get

(6x+7y+8z)-(6x+8y+5z)=15.75-16.75\\-y+3z=-1\\y-3z=1\\y=1+3z

Put y=1+3z in equation (i)

6x+7(1+3z)+8z=15.75\\6x+29z=8.75\,\,\,(iv)

Put y=1+3z in equation (iii)

5x+5(1+3z)+7z=11.75\\5x+22z=6.75\,\,\,(v)

Multiply equation (iv) by 5 and equation (v) by 6 and then subtract both the equations.

5(6x+29z)-6(5x+22z)=5(8.75)-6(6.75)\\13z=3.25\\z=\frac{3.25}{13}=0.25

Put z=0.25 in equation y=1+3z

y=1+3(0.25)=1.75

Put y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25 in equation (i)

6x+7(1.75)+8(0.25)=15.75\\6x+12.25+2=15.75\\6x=1.5\\x=0.25

Is -12.5 greater than -12? will brainlist
notka56 [123]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

negative numbers work the opposite of how positive numbers work. Think about it like this. -12 is 12 units less than 0 and -12.5 is 12.5 units less than 0 which means that -12.5 is less than -12
