Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

using the identity

cos2a = 2cos²a - 1 , then

cos2a

= 2[ \frac{1}{2}(a  + \frac{1}{a}) ]² - 1

= 2 [ \frac{1}{4} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} + 2) ] - 1

= \frac{1}{2} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} ) + 1 - 1

= \frac{1}{2} (a² + \frac{1}{a^2} ) ← thus verified

Could anyone help, please?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

First, find the probability of each event:

1) the probability that the spinner will land on a 7.

Since the spinner is split 4 equal sections and there is only 1 sector with 7, we can say the probability of getting a 7 is 1/4 as there is only 1 of 7 out of the total of 4 sections.

<em>and</em>

2) the probability that the spinner will land on B.

Since the spinner is split into 3 equal sections, and there is only 1 sector for B, we can say the probability of getting B is 1/3.

To find the probability of 2 events, we need to multiply the two probabilities.

1/4*1/3 = 1/12

So the answer is 1/12.

What is the answer to this question

The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.

ABC ~ ZYX

The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.

Answer:

<h2><em><u>Option</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>A</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>and</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>C</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As,

2 \sqrt{75}  + 3 \sqrt{50}

= 2 \sqrt{25 \times 3}  + 3 \sqrt{25 \times 2} (A)

= 2 \times 5 \sqrt{3}  + 3 \times 5 \sqrt{2}

= 10 \sqrt{3}  + 15 \sqrt{2} (C)

D.  He will have $2,121.80.

After one year at 3% interst, $2000 becomes $2000 x 1.03 = $2,060.
During the second year, that $2060 x 1.03 becomes $2121.80
