We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).

We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)

The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7

Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>

Give the parallel cross-section for the following: Cylinder, cone, sphere, and pyramid.
Maurinko [17]

The parallel cross-sections of a cylinder, cone, sphere, and pyramid are a circle, a circle, a circle, and a square.

We are given some solids. Solid geometry, or stereometry, is the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean spaces in mathematics. Stereometry is concerned with measuring the volumes of various solid figures. The given solids are a cylinder, cone, sphere, and pyramid. We need to find the parallel cross-sections of the given solids. Parallel cross sections are cross sections of a solid that are parallel to each other. A cross section is a straight slice of an object. The parallel cross-sections of a cylinder, cone, sphere, and pyramid are a circle, a circle, a circle, and a square.

Show that √(1-cos A/1+cos A) =cosec A - cot A​
Gennadij [26K]

Hi there!

\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} =

We can begin by multiplying by its conjugate:

\sqrt{\frac{1-cosA}{1+cosA}} * \sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{1+cosA}}  = \\\\\sqrt{\frac{(1-cosA)(1 + cosA)}{(1+cosA)(1 + cosA)}} =

Simplify using the identity:

1 - cos^2A = sin^2A

\sqrt{\frac{(1-cos^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =\\\\\sqrt{\frac{(sin^2A)}{(1+cosA)^2}} =

Take the square root of the expression:

{\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} =

Multiply again by the conjugate to get a SINGLE term in the denominator:

{\frac{sinA}{1+cosA} * {\frac{1-cosA}{1-cosA} =\\

Simplify:

{\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{1-cos^2A} =

Use the above trig identity one more:

{\frac{sinA(1-cosA)}{sin^2A} =

Cancel out sinA:

{\frac{(1-cosA)}{sinA}  =

Split the fraction into two:

{\frac{1}{sinA}   - \frac{cosA}{sinA} =

Recall:

1/sinA = cscA\\\\cosA/sinA = cotA

Simplify:

\frac{1}{sinA} + \frac{cosA}{sinA} = \boxed{cscA - cotA}

Which one is the answer??
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

City X = 3 * 10^5            Given

City Y = 6 * 10^6

Times larger

6 * 10^6

3 * 10^5

Do the division

6*10^6/3^10^5 = 60 * 10^5/(3 * 10^5)   Note 10^5 will cancel

60/3 = 20 City y is 20 times City x

Population Difference

6,000,000

   300,000

5,700,000

Just from the numbers I've given you, A is incorrect. The answer is 20 not 2.

B is the answer

C is wrong. X is 5.7 million less.

D See the answer for C.

if the radius of a sphere is tripled, the surface area of a sphere will increasea) by a factor of 3b) by a factor of 4c)by a fac
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The area and the radius of a sphere are related by the formula:

A=4πr^2

Let’s say this is A1 and r1

Now the radius is tripled. This means r2 = 3r1

The new area thus becomes: A = 4 * (3r)^2 * π = 36πr^2

Comparing A1 and A2 , we can see that A2 = 9A1
