escalator had been repaired and Tom took only 12 seconds to reach the top climbing at the same rate. On Wednesday Tom decided to ride the escalator without climbing at all. How long did it take to reach the top this time?

*There are 36 steps on the elevator as it took Tom 18 seconds to reach the top of the elevator (when it wasn't working), taking 2 steps per second.(2*18=36).

*When the elevator was fixed Tom moved through it taking 2 steps per second and managed to reach its top in 12 seconds. This means that he had covered 3 steps in the space of a second while he was moving up the elevator (fixed). (36/12=3).

<em>*Knowing this information, we can come to terms with the fact that the elevator can move Tom 1 step upwards per second if he doesn't make any effort to move up the elevator while its working. As there are 36 steps on the elevator, on Wednesday it took Tom 36 seconds to reach its top.</em>

How do you simplify sin 4 theta using the double angle theory?
S_A_V [24]
Double angle formulae involve trigonometric functions of double angles and in order to get its value you must consider the following:
-derive the double angle formula from additional formula
-write the formula for the angle in alternative form
-use the formula to write trigonometric expressions in different forms
-use the formula in the solution of trigonometric equations

And the answer would be 4sin(theta)cos(theta)cos(2theta)

A basket contains 3/8 as many oranges as apples and three over four as many oranges as pairs what is the ratio of the number of
Gennadij [26K]
# of apples

3/8(a)=# of oranges

p=# of pears

3/4(p)=# of oranges

(3/8)a=(3/4)p

(3/8)/(3/4)=p/a

(3/8)(6/8)=p/a

3/6=p/a

1/2=p/a

the ratios of pears to apples is 1 to 2

for every 1 pear there are 2 apples

if there are 4 pears there are 8 apples

there are 8 apples

(3/8)(8)=3 oranges

there are 4 pears

(3/4)(4)=3 oranges again

8 apples, 3 oranges, 4 pears

15 pieces of fruit and 3 are oranges

ratio is 3/15=1/5
