A leprechaun places a magic penny under a girls pillow. The next night there are 2 magic pennies under her pillow. The following

morning she finds four pennies. Apparently, while she sleeps each penny turns into two magic pennies.The total number of pennies seen under the pillow each day is the grand total; that is, the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear. How many days would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion?

Answer:

<em>After </em><em>47</em><em> days she will have more than 90 trillion pennies.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning there was 1 penny. At the second day the amount of pennies under the pillow became 2.

The amount of pennies doubled each day. So the series is,

1,2,4,8,16,32,.....

This series is in geometric progression.

As the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear so the sum of series will be,

S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}

where,

a = initial term = 1,

r = common ratio = 2,

As we have find the number of days that would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion, so

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{2^n-1}{1}

\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le 2^n-1

\Rightarrow 2^n\ge 90\times 10^{12}+1

\Rightarrow \log 2^n\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n\times \log 2\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)

\Rightarrow n \ge \dfrac{\log (90\times 10^{12}+1)}{\log 2}

\Rightarrow n \ge 46.4

\Rightarrow n\approx 47

Which function is the same as y = 3 cosine (2 (x startfraction pi over 2 endfraction)) minus 2? y = 3 sine (2 (x startfraction p
kirza4 [7]

The function which is same as the function y = 3cos(2(x +π/2)) -2 is: Option A: y= 3sin(2(x + π/4)) - 2

<h3>How to convert sine of an angle to some angle of cosine?</h3>

We can use the fact that:

\sin(\theta) = \cos(\pi/2 - \theta)\\\sin(\theta + \pi/2) = -\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta + \pi/2) = \sin(\theta)

to convert the sine to cosine.

<h3>Which trigonometric functions are positive in which quadrant?</h3>
  • In first quadrant (0 < θ < π/2), all six trigonometric functions are positive.
  • In second quadrant(π/2 < θ < π), only sin and cosec are positive.
  • In the third quadrant (π < θ < 3π/2), only tangent and cotangent are positive.
  • In fourth (3π/2 < θ < 2π = 0), only cos and sec are positive.

(this all positive negative refers to the fact that if you use given angle as input to these functions, then what sign will these functions will evaluate based on in which quadrant does the given angle lies.)

Here, the given function is:

y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2

The options are:

  1. y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2
  2. y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2
  3. y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2
  4. y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2

Checking all the options one by one:

  • Option 1: y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2

y= 3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\y= 3\sin (2x + \pi/2) -2\\y = -3\cos(2x) -2\\y = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2\\y = 3\cos(2(x+ \pi/2)) -2

(the last second step was the use of the fact that cos flips its sign after pi radian increment in its input)
Thus, this option is same as the given function.

  • Option 2: y= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2

This option if would be true, then from option 1 and this option, we'd get:
-3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2= -3\sin(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2\\2(3\sin(2(x + \pi/4))) = 0\\\sin(2(x + \pi/4) = 0

which isn't true for all values of x.

Thus, this option is not same as the given function.

  • Option 3: y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2

The given function is y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2 = -3\cos(2x) -2

This option's function simplifies as:

y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/4)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi/2) -2 = -3\sin(2x) - 2

Thus, this option isn't true since \sin(2x) \neq \cos(2x) always (they are equal for some values of x but not for all).

  • Option 4: y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2

The given function simplifies to:y= 3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = 3\cos(2x + \pi) -2 = -3\cos(2x) -2

The given option simplifies to:

y= -3\cos(2(x + \pi/2)) - 2 = -3\cos(2x + \pi ) -2\\y = 3\cos(2x) -2

Thus, this function is not same as the given function.

Thus, the function which is same as the function y = 3cos(2(x +π/2)) -2 is: Option A: y= 3sin(2(x + π/4)) - 2

Cos ( α ) = √ 6/ 6 and sin ( β ) = √ 2/4 . Find tan ( α − β )
Zina [86]

Answer:

\purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) = 1.00701798}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos( \alpha ) =  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{6}  =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} }  \\  \\  \therefore \:  \sin( \alpha )  =  \sqrt{1 -  { \cos}^{2} ( \alpha ) }  \\  \\  =  \sqrt{1 -  \bigg( {\frac{1}{ \sqrt{6} } \bigg )}^{2} }  \\  \\ =  \sqrt{1 -  {\frac{1}{ {6} }}}  \\  \\ =  \sqrt{ {\frac{6 - 1}{ {6} }}}   \\  \\  \red{\sin( \alpha ) =  \sqrt{ { \frac{5}{ {6} }}} } \\  \\  \tan( \alpha ) =  \frac{\sin( \alpha ) }{\cos( \alpha ) }  =  \sqrt{5}  \\  \\ \sin( \beta )  =  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{4}  \\  \\  \implies \: \cos( \beta )  =   \sqrt{ \frac{7}{8} }  \\  \\ \tan( \beta )  =  \frac{\sin( \beta ) }{\cos( \beta ) } =  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} }   \\  \\  \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) =  \frac{ \tan \alpha  -  \tan \beta }{1 +  \tan \alpha .  \tan \beta}  \\  \\  =  \frac{ \sqrt{5} -  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} }  }{1 +  \sqrt{5} . \frac{1}{ \sqrt{7} } }  \\  \\  =  \frac{ \sqrt{35} - 1 }{ \sqrt{7}  +  \sqrt{5} }  \\  \\  \purple{ \bold{ \tan( \alpha  -  \beta ) = 1.00701798}}
