Answer:

Lets call the people A,B,C,D and E. We need to find an example where there are not 3 mutual friends and not three mutual enemies.

Lets start by assuming that A has 2 friends, B and C, and 2 enemies, D and E.

Since we want A,B and C not to be mutually friends, then B and C neccesarily have to be enemies.

Now, since B and C are enemies, they cant be enemies at the same time with D, and they also cant be enemies at the same time with E. Therefore one of them has to be friends with D and one has to be friends with E.

Also, since D and E are enemies with A, they neccesarily need to be friends.

From the fact that D and E are friends, we coclude that they cant have a friend in common, as a consequence, B has to be friends with one of D and E and C has to be friend with the other. We can assume that B is friend with D and C is friend with E. If we use that, we have the following friendship configuration

---------------------

Friends of A: B, C

Enemies of A: D,E

-------------------------

Friends of B: A,D

Enemies of B: C, E

------------------------

Friends of C: A,E

Enemies of C: B,D

------------------------

Friends of D: B,E

Enemies of D: A,C

----------------------------

Friends of E: C,D

Enemies of E:  A,B

--------------------------

As you can check, there is not three mutual friends nor three mutual enemies.

If sin(x) = squareroot 2 over 2 what is cos(x) and tan(x)
Bumek [7]

Answer:

cos(x) = square root 2 over 2; tan(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

was, before it was rationalized,

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

Therefore,

sin(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

The side opposite the reference angle measures 1, the hypotenuse measures square root 2.  That makes the reference angle a 45 degree angle.  From there we can determine that the side adjacent to the reference angle also has a measure of 1.  Therefore,

cos(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} and

since tangent is side opposite (1) over side adjacent (1),

tan(x) = 1

Tickets to a play cost $5 at the door and $4 in advance. The theater club wants to raise at least $400 from the play. Write and
cestrela7 [59]
Your equation should be
$4(40 tickets) + $5(X) = $400
160 +5x = 400
-160            -160
   0     5x =  340
  divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 340/5
x = 68

so they need to sell 68 tickets at the door.

4(40) + 5(68) = 400
160 + 340  + 400
400 + 400
