True
<span>Cos(A+B)=CosACosB-SinASinB
therefore Cos(A+A)= CosACosA - SinASinA
= Cos^2A - Sin^2A</span>

For the solution/answer of this question, we will use the double angle formula which can be derived as follows:

cos(2a)=cos(a+a)=cos(a)\times cos(a)-sin(a)\times sin(a)=cos^2(a)-sin^2(a)

Now, the above expression can be simplified to:

cos(2a)=cos^2(a)-sin^2(a)=cos^2(a)-(1-cos^2(a)) (Because sin^2a=1-cos^2a)

Therefore, we can further simplify it to:

cos(2a)=cos^2a-1+cos^2a=2cos^2a-1 which is the proof which is required.

Thus, we have proved that:

cos(2a)=2cos^2a-1

Thus, this equality is true for all values of a.

1. Find the Product of 8.02 and 6.1 and correct your answer to the highest whole number. 2. How many pieces of ribbon each 6cm l
Alja [10]

Answer:

1. 14

2.400 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8.02+6.1= 14.12, since its less than 14.5 you must round down to 14

2. remember 1 meter is 100 centimeters, thus to find how many centimeters are in 24 m multiply 100 by 24. this will get 2400 centimeters

divide 2400/6 and you will get 400
