I find that fractions can be tricky, so I convert them to decimals before subtracting.

3 3/4 = 3.75

7/8 = 0.875

3.75 - 0.875 = 2.875

Knowing that 0.875 = 7/8, we now know that our answer is 2 7/8.

Hope this helps!

A shipping carton in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 756 cubic inches the base area of the shipping carton is 4

coldgirl [10]

The answer would be a height o 18 inches. how you figure that is by taking the total cubic inches and divide by the base number which is 42 inches. 756 divided by 42 is 18. and to check your answer multiply. 18 times 42 equals 756.

Answer:

cos2t/cos²t

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given trigonometric expression to us is ,

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{cos^4t - sin^4t }{cos^2t }$

We can write the numerator as ,

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{ (cos^2t)^2-(sin^2t)^2}{cos^2t }$

Recall the identity ,

$\longrightarrow (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$

Using this we have ,

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{(cos^2t + sin^2t)(cos^2t-sin^2t)}{cos^2t}$

Again , as we know that ,

$\longrightarrow sin^2\phi + cos^2\phi = 1$

Therefore we can rewrite it as ,

$\longrightarrow \dfrac{1(cos^2t - sin^2t)}{cos^2t}$

Again using the first identity mentioned above ,

$\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{\dfrac{(cost + sint )(cost - sint)}{cos^2t}}}$

Or else we can also write it using ,

$\longrightarrow cos2\phi = cos^2\phi - sin^2\phi$

Therefore ,

$\longrightarrow \underline{\underline{\dfrac{cos2t}{cos^2t}}}$

And we are done !

$\rule{200}{4}$

Additional info :-

Derivation of cos²x - sin²x = cos2x :-

We can rewrite cos 2x as ,

$\longrightarrow cos(x + x )$

As we know that ,

$\longrightarrow cos(y + z )= cosy.cosz - siny.sinz$

So that ,

$\longrightarrow cos(x+x) = cos(x).cos(x) - sin(x)sin(x)$

On simplifying,

$\longrightarrow cos(x+x) = cos^2x - sin^2x$

Hence,

$\longrightarrow\underline{\underline{cos (2x) = cos^2x - sin^2x }}$

$\rule{200}{4}$

Charlene and Gary want to make trail mix. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$2.96

Step-by-step explanation:

3x$2.67=$8.01

3x$2.73=$8.19

5x$3.27=$16.35

$8.01+$8.19+$16.35=$32.55

This makes 11 pounds of trail mix.

$32.55 divided by 11 = $2.9590909 = $2.96
