Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

Is the function even or odd?
sweet [91]

Answer:

f(\theta)=\cos(\theta) is an even function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall when it means when a function is even or odd. An even function has the following property:

f(-x)=f(x)

And an odd function has the following property:

f(-x)=-f(x)

So, let's test some values for cos(x).

Let's use π/3:

f(\pi/3)=\cos(\pi/3)

From the unit circle, was can see that this is 1/2 (refer to the x-coordinate).

Now, let's find -π/3. This is the same as 5π/3. Thus:

f(-\pi/3)=\cos(-\pi/3)

And again from the unit circle, we can see that this is 1/2.

Therefore, despite the negative, the function outputs the same value.

Cosine is an even function.

Notes:

Cosine is an even function and sine is an odd function. It's helpful to remember these as they can help you solve some trig problems!

Kayla and two of her friends form an investment club. Each contributes $250 to an account that earns 5% interest, compounded ann
vaieri [72.5K]
The multiplier of each account's value is 1.05³ = 1.157625.

The $750 in the club's account will grow to
  $750×1.157625 = 868.22
and each member will get 1/3 of that amount, $289.

The $250 in Sheri's individual account will grow to
  $250×1.157625 = $289.

Sheri, Kayla, and Kayla's two friends will all have the same amount as a result of their investments.
