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.

Joe biked the following distances this past week to train for a triathlon. Joe biked 37 miles, 88 miles, 44 miles, 54 miles, 62
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The median is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you put all the numbers in order. (37, 44, 46, 54, 62, 88) then you look for the middle number. Since there is two middle numbers, you add them together then divide it by 2.

So 46+54= 100

100/2= 50

State whether the equation is true, false or open? 4y+8=6y+3
g100num [7]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Open


<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

An open equation is an equation that has variables and CAN be solved

<u>Example</u>: 2x = 4 ......> can be solved giving ......> x = 2

A false equation is one where both sides can NEVER be equal

<u>Example:</u> 15 = 2(3) + 1 ..........> 15 can never be equal to 7

A true equation is one having no variables and both sides are ALWAYS equal

<u>Example:</u> 2(3) + 1 = 2(2) + 3 ........> 7 will always be equal to 7


Now, the given equation is:

4y + 8 = 6y + 3

Let's try to solve is:

4y + 8 = 6y + 3

6y - 4y = 8 - 3

2y = 5

y = 2.5


Therefore, the given equation contains a variable and can be solved which means that it is an open equation


Hope this helps :)
