Well if the two numbers are equal to 5x(8+3).

Lets say that these two numbers are X and Y,

So that would be X + Y = 5(8+3)

which means X + Y = 55

You could write that as a fuctions Y = 55 - X

Now by using the graph you get and the X values of [0,55] ( This means every value from 0 to 55 ), you will get a X and Y value that if you added up together will give you the value of 8(5+33)

An examples for the answers would be

(0,55) (1,54) (2,53) (3,52) (4,51) (5,50) (6,49) ... it goes on until x reaches 55.

Prove the following identity : Sin α . Cos α . Tan α = (1 – Cos α) (1 + Cos α)

Umnica [9.8K]

Let's work on the left side first. And remember that
the tangent is the same as sin/cos.

sin(a) cos(a) tan(a)

Substitute for the tangent:

[ sin(a) cos(a) ] [ sin(a)/cos(a) ]

Cancel the cos(a) from the top and bottom, and you're left with

[ sin(a) ] . . . . . [ sin(a) ] which is [ sin²(a) ] That's the left side.

Now, work on the right side:

[ 1 - cos(a) ] [ 1 + cos(a) ]

Multiply that all out, using FOIL:

[ 1 + cos(a) - cos(a) - cos²(a) ]

= [ 1 - cos²(a) ] That's the right side.

Do you remember that for any angle, sin²(b) + cos²(b) = 1 ?
Subtract cos²(b) from each side, and you have sin²(b) = 1 - cos²(b) for any angle.

So, on the right side, you could write [ sin²(a) ] .

Now look back about 9 lines, and compare that to the result we got for the left side .

They look quite similar. In fact, they're identical. And so the identity is proven.

Whew !

A shorter style of cup is stacked tall. The graph displays the height of the stack in centimeters for different numbers of cups.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for how much height is gained per cup added.

Height per cup added can be calculated by finding the slope of the line that runs through the two given points on the graph, (3, 5.5) and (8, 8).

Formula for slope =
