Answer:

1 + cosa sina

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{cos^3a-sin^3a}{cosa-sina}$

cos³a - sin³a ← is a difference of cubes and factors in general as

a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²) , then

cos³a - sin³a

= (cosa - sina )(cos²a + cosa sina + sin²a)

= (cosa - sina)(1 + cosa sina) [ sin²a + cos²a = 1 ]

Then

$\frac{cos^3a-sin^3a}{cosa-sina}$

= $\frac{(cosa-sina)(1+cosasina)}{cosa-sina}$ ← cancel (cosa - sina) on numerator/ denominator

= 1 + cosa sina

1/5 of a number is 14. Find the number

zheka24 [161]

We set up a proportion: 14/?= 1/5

Cross multiply: 1*?= 14*5
⇒ ?= 14*5/1= 70

1/5 of 70 is 14.

John says that 0.5y for y=1.4 is 0.7<br> Is he correct? Explain.<br> 17 points

Alona [7]

John is correct because 0.5 is equal to one half and multiplying something by its half is just same as dividing something in two and half of 1.4 is 0.5

7 times a number is 18 less than the square of that number. Find the positive solution.

Arte-miy333 [17]

So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)
