Dixon is 6 feet tall,  Ariadne is 4 feet tall by proportion.

What in mathematics is a proportion?

  • A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.
  • For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls) There are 1 in 4 boys and 3 in 4 girls. 0.25 are male (by dividing 1 by 4)

We can use the proportion.

We already know that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9 ft long.

Also we know that the shadow of his sister is 6 ft long.

6 : x = 9 : 6, or 6 / x = 9 / 6.

After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6,

9 x = 36 ,

x = 36 /9,

x = 4.

Ariadne is 4 feet tall.

The complete question is -

Dixon and his little sister Ariadne stand next to each other on the playground on a sunny afternoon. Their mother measures their shadows. Dixon's shadow is 9 feet long and Ariadne's shadow is 6 feet long. If Dixon is 6 feet tall, how tall is Ariadne?

The population p (in millions) of Italy from 1990 through 2008 can be approximated by the model p=56.8e^o.oo15t , where t repres
dimulka [17.4K]

As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.

Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years)  substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:

p = 56.8e^{0.0015*10}\\

p=57.6584 million people

To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)

substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:

p=56.8e ^{0.0015*18}\\

p=58.3545 million people


To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30

t = 25

p=56.8e^{0.0015*25}

p=58.9704 million people


 t = 30

p=56.8e^{0.0015*30}

p=59.4144 million people

(1/1+sintheta)=sec^2theta-secthetatantheta pls help me verify this
Xelga [282]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the equation:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

To start, we can multiply the fraction by (1 - sin(θ)). This yields:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+\sin\theta}\left(\frac{1-\sin\theta}{1-\sin\theta}\right) = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Simplify. The denominator uses the difference of two squares pattern:

\displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\underbrace{1-\sin^2\theta}_{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Recall that sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1. Hence, cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ). Substitute:

\displaystyle \displaystyle \frac{1-\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

Split into two separate fractions:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{\cos^2\theta} -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos^2\theta} = \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta

Rewrite the two fractions:

\displaystyle \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\right)^2-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\cdot \frac{1}{\cos\theta}=\sec^2\theta - \sec\theta \tan\theta

By definition, 1 / cos(θ) = sec(θ) and sin(θ)/cos(θ) = tan(θ). Hence:

\displaystyle \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta \stackrel{\checkmark}{=}  \sec^2\theta - \sec\theta\tan\theta

Hence verified.
