Ana saw 7 kitten and 9 chicks at the pet store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of heads = 16

Number of legs = 46

A chick has 2 legs and a kitten has 4.

Let,

x represent the number of kitten and y represent the number of chicks.

According to given statement;

x+y=16     Eqn 1

4x+2y=46   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=16)\\4x+4y=64\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(4x+4y)-(4x+2y)=64-46\\4x+4y-4x-2y=18\\2y=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\y=9

Putting y=9 in Eqn 1

x+9=16\\x=16-9\\x=7

Ana saw 7 kitten and 9 chicks at the pet store.

What is the frequency of the graph of y = 1/3 sin(2x)?
vovangra [49]

Given:

The sine function is:

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

To find:

The frequency of the graph of given function.

Solution:

If a sine function is defined as:

y=A\sin(Bx+C)+D

Then, the frequency of the sine function is:

f=\dfrac{B}{2\pi}

We have,

y=\dfrac{1}{3}\sin (2x)

Here, B=2. So, the frequency of the given function is:

f=\dfrac{2}{2\pi}

f=\dfrac{1}{\pi}

Therefore, the correct option is D.
