The answer in itself is 1/128 and here is the procedure to prove it:
cos(A)*cos(60+A)*cos(60-A) = cos(A)*(cos²60 - sin²A) 

<span>= cos(A)*{(1/4) - 1 + cos²A} = cos(A)*(cos²A - 3/4) </span>

<span>= (1/4){4cos^3(A) - 3cos(A)} = (1/4)*cos(3A) </span>

Now we group applying what we see above

<span>cos(12)*cos(48)*cos(72) = </span>
<span>=cos(12)*cos(60-12)*cos(60+12) = (1/4)cos(36) </span>

<span>Similarly, cos(24)*cos(36)*cos(84) = (1/4)cos(72) </span>

<span>Now the given expression is: </span>

<span>= (1/4)cos(36)*(1/4)*cos(72)*cos(60) = </span>

<span>= (1/16)*(1/2)*{(√5 + 1)/4}*{(√5 - 1)/4} [cos(60) = 1/2; </span>
<span>cos(36) = (√5 + 1)/4 and cos(72) = cos(90-18) = </span>
<span>= sin(18) = (√5 - 1)/4] </span>
<span>And we seimplify it and it goes: (1/512)*(5-1) = 1/128</span>

Describe the Glide Reflection from the preimage triangle in Black to the image triangle and red​
cestrela7 [59]

We want the final coordinate of K to become (-3,1). If you reflect across the y-axis, you transform

(x,y)\mapsto(-x,y)

So, we need to move K to (3,1), and then reflect it across the y-axis. Since K starts at (-1,4), we have to move it 4 units to the right and 3 units down.

2x+5y=20. , -2x+20y=-90. one solution. infinity many ir no solution. use elimination to find your answer​
scoundrel [369]
2x+5y=20
X=10-2.5y

-2(10-2.5y)+20y=-90
-20+5y+20y=-90
25y=-70
Y=2.8

2(2.8)+5y=20

5.6+5y=20
5y=14.4
Y=2.88

CHECK:
2(2.8)+5(2.88)=20
