Given:
The graph of line.
To find:
The gradient of the line using rise/run method.
Solution:
We know that the gradient of a line is also known as slope.

Consider the two intercepts, then rise is distance between origin and y-intercept and run is the distance between origin and the x-intercept. But rise must be negative because the value of y decreased from 3 to 0.


Now,


The gradient of the line is
.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Answer:
I believe A is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Left hand side:
4 [sin⁶ θ + cos⁶ θ]
Rearrange:
4 [(sin² θ)³ + (cos² θ)³]
Factor the sum of cubes:
4 [(sin² θ + cos² θ) (sin⁴ θ − sin² θ cos² θ + cos⁴ θ)]
Pythagorean identity:
4 [sin⁴ θ − sin² θ cos² θ + cos⁴ θ]
Complete the square:
4 [sin⁴ θ + 2 sin² θ cos² θ + cos⁴ θ − 3 sin² θ cos² θ]
4 [(sin² θ + cos² θ)² − 3 sin² θ cos² θ]
Pythagorean identity:
4 [1 − 3 sin² θ cos² θ]
Rearrange:
4 − 12 sin² θ cos² θ
4 − 3 (2 sin θ cos θ)²
Double angle formula:
4 − 3 (sin (2θ))²
4 − 3 sin² (2θ)
Finally, apply Pythagorean identity and simplify:
4 − 3 (1 − cos² (2θ))
4 − 3 + 3 cos² (2θ)
1 + 3 cos² (2θ)
