If the angle G is moved to a different spot in the circle the angle FGH and angle FEH in the cyclic quadrilateral will change to make it supplementary.

<h3>How to find angles of cyclic quadrilateral?</h3>

A cyclic quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle. It has all its vertices on the circumference of the circle.

Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary angles. That means they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore,

∠F + ∠H = 180°

∠G + ∠E = 180°

Hence, if we moved ∠G to a different spot on the circle, angle FGH would change but angle FEH will also change to make the two opposite angles supplementary.

Therefore, Felix was wrong.

Tan(x+pi) + 2sin(x+pi)=0<br><br>can you help prove this and make the left side equal the right?

vladimir1956 [14]

This is not an identity but an equation. You're supposed to find the values of $x$ for which this is true. It is *not* true for all values of $x$ .

To see why:

$\tan x$ has period $\pi$ , which means $\tan(x+\pi)=\tan x$ .

The angle sum identity for $\sin x$ says that

$\sin(x+\pi)=\sin x\cos \pi+\cos x\sin\pi=-\sin x$

$\tan(x+\pi)+2\sin(x+\pi)=\tan x-2\sin x$

By definition of $\tan x$ ,

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$

and so

$\tan x-2\sin x=\sin x\left(\dfrac1{\cos x}-2\right)$

which is only 0 if either $\sin x=0$ (which only happens for certain values of $x$ ) or $\dfrac1{\cos x}-2=0\implies\cos x=\dfrac12$ (which also only happens for certain values of $x$ ). It's these values of $x$ you want to find.

$\sin x=0$ whenever $x$ is a multiple of $\pi$ , i.e. $x=n\pi$ for any integer $n$ .

If $0\le x$ , then $\cos x=\dfrac12$ is true for $x=\dfrac\pi3$ and $x=\dfrac{5\pi}3$ . Then to account for all other possible values, we add a multiple of $2\pi$ , so that $x=\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi$ or $x=\dfrac{5\pi}3+2n\pi$ for integers $n$ .

Rain spoils the strawberry crop. As a result, the price of strawberries rises from $4 to $6 a box and the quantity decreases fro

masha68 [24]

Mid point elasticity formula

[change in price] / [average price] ÷ [change in quantity] / [average quantity]

change in price = $6 - $4 = $2

average price = [$ 6 +$4] / $2 = 10/ 2 = 5

[change in price] / [average price] = 2/5

change in quantity = 1000 boxes - 600 boxes = 400 boxes

average quantity = [1000 boxes + 600 boxes] / 2 = 1600 boxes / 2 = 800
boxes

change in quantity / average quantity = 400/800 = 1/2

midpoint elasticity = 2/5 ÷ 1/2 = 4/5 = 0.8

0.8 < 1 => inelastic demand (the change is demand is less than proportional to the change in price)

The diagonal of a square is x units. What is the area of the square in terms of x?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

1/2(x²) square units

Step-by-step explanation

From the question,

Area of a Square(A) = L²

A = L²................. Equation 1

Where L = Lenght of the square

If the diagonal of the square is x,

Using pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c².................. Equation 2

Wherer a = x, b = c= L

Therefore,

x² = L²+L²

x² = 2L²

L² = x²/2

L = √(x²/2)

Substitute the value of L into equation 1

A = [√(x²/2)]²

A = x²/2 square unit.

A = 1/2(x²) square unit.

The right option is 1/2(x²) square units
