When looking at the rational function f of x equals the quantity x minus one times the quantity x plus two times the quantity x

plus four all divided by the quantity x plus one times the quantity x minus two times the quantity x minus four, Bella and Edward have two different thoughts. Bella says that the function is defined at x = –1, x = 2, and x = 4. Edward says that the function is undefined at those x values. Who is correct? Justify your reasoning.

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}<span>

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}

\Large f(x) = \frac{(x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 4)}{(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 4)}</span>

 

Bella says that the function is defined at x = –1, x = 2, and x = 4 so Bella is wrong since the result is undefined because we cannot divide by zero Therefore, Edward is correct.

Prove that sin20sin40sin60sin80=3/16
never [62]
We'll use the following properties of sine and cosine to prove this:

sin(a)\cdot sin(b) = \frac12(cos(a-b) - cos(a+b))

cos(a)\cdot cos(b) = \frac12(cos(a+b) + cos(a-b))

cos(180+a) = cos(180-a)

Then it's just a matter of filling it in...

sin20sin40 * sin60sin80 = 1/2(cos20 - cos60) * 1/2 (cos20 - cos140) =

1/8( cos40 + 1 - cos160 - cos120 - cos40 - cos80 + cos80 + cos200) =

1/8(1 -  cos160 - cos120 + cos200) =

1/8(1 -  cos160 - cos120 + cos160) =

1/8(1 - cos120 ) = 1/8( 1 + 1/2 ) = 3/16

Ron's salary is 2 times Mike's salary. Together they earn $441 per week. How much does each boy earn per week?
iris [78.8K]
Mike´s salary=x
Ron´s salary=2x
We can suggest the following equation:
x+2x=441
3x=441
x=441/3
x=147

Mike´s salary=147
Ron´s salary=2x=2(147)=294

Answer: Ron´s salary is $294 and Mike´s salry is $147.

You have a bunch of interesting figures there (check the diagram):
- square (in red)
- parallelogram (in green)
- Isosceles trapezoid (in yellow)
- Isosceles triangles (blue, and purple)
Notice that you have more than one of the same figures: a bunch of small isosceles triangles, tow isosceles trapezoids, two big isosceles triangles... etc.
