Answer:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use the following identity to help with the difference inside the tangent function there:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}

Let a=\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3}).

With some restriction on a this means:

\sin(a)=\frac{2}{3}

We need to find \tan(a).

\sin^2(a)+\cos^2(a)=1 is a Pythagorean Identity I will use to find the cosine value and then I will use that the tangent function is the ratio of sine to cosine.

(\frac{2}{3})^2+\cos^2(a)=1

\frac{4}{9}+\cos^2(a)=1

Subtract 4/9 on both sides:

\cos^2(a)=\frac{5}{9}

Take the square root of both sides:

\cos(a)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}

\cos(a)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}

The cosine value is positive because a is a number between -\frac{\pi}{2} and \frac{\pi}{2} because that is the restriction on sine inverse.

So we have \cos(a)=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}.

This means that \tan(a)=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}}.

Multiplying numerator and denominator by 3 gives us:

\tan(a)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}

Rationalizing the denominator by multiplying top and bottom by square root of 5 gives us:

\tan(a)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}

Let's continue on to letting b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7}).

Let's go ahead and say what the restrictions on b are.

b is a number in between 0 and \pi.

So anyways b=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{7}) implies \cos(b)=\frac{1}{7}.

Let's use the Pythagorean Identity again I mentioned from before to find the sine value of b.

\cos^2(b)+\sin^2(b)=1

(\frac{1}{7})^2+\sin^2(b)=1

\frac{1}{49}+\sin^2(b)=1

Subtract 1/49 on both sides:

\sin^2(b)=\frac{48}{49}

Take the square root of both sides:

\sin(b)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{48}{49}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{48}}{7}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{16}\sqrt{3}}{7}

\sin(b)=\pm \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}

So since b is a number between 0 and \pi, then sine of this value is positive.

This implies:

\sin(b)=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}

So \tan(b)=\frac{\sin(b)}{\cos(b)}=\frac{\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{7}}{\frac{1}{7}}.

Multiplying both top and bottom by 7 gives:

\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{1}= 4\sqrt{3}.

Let's put everything back into the first mentioned identity.

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\tan(a)-\tan(b)}{1+\tan(a)\tan(b)}

\tan(a-b)=\frac{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-4\sqrt{3}}{1+\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}

Let's clear the mini-fractions by multiply top and bottom by the least common multiple of the denominators of these mini-fractions. That is, we are multiplying top and bottom by 5:

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2 \sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+2\sqrt{5}\cdot 4\sqrt{3}}

\tan(a-b)=\frac{2\sqrt{5}-20\sqrt{3}}{5+8\sqrt{15}}

Find the polynomial of minimum degree, with real coefficients, zeros at
drek231 [11]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{If}\ x=4\pm3i\ \text{and}\ x=-3\ \text{are the zeros of a polynomial, then it has  a form:}\\\\p(x)=\bigg(x-(4-3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(4+3i)\bigg)\bigg(x-(-3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x-4+3i)(x-4-3i)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\underbrace{\bigg((x-4)+3i\bigg)\bigg((x-4)-3i\bigg)}_{\text{use}\ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2}(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x-4)^2-(3i)^2\bigg)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

p(x)=(x^2-2(x)(4)+4^2-3^2i^2)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use}\ i^2=-1\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16-9(-1))(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+16+9)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^2-8x+25)(x+3)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{use FOIL}:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\p(x)=\bigg((x^2)(x)+(x^2)(3)+(-8x)(x)+(-8x)(3)+(25)(x)+(25)(3)\bigg)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\p(x)=(x^3+3x^2-8x^2-24x+25x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)

\text{The y-intercept is at 300}.\\\\\text{For}\ w(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+a_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...+a_1x+a_0\\\\\text{y-intercept is}\ a_0\\\\\text{Therefore for}\ p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\\text{y-intercet is}\ 75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)\\\\75\bigg(r(x)\bigg)=300\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\\r(x)=4\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\p(x)=(x^3-5x^2+x+75)(4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\p(x)=(x^3)(4)+(-5x^2)(4)+(x)(4)+(75)(4)\\\\p(x)=4x^3-20x^2+4x+300

Priscilla can make 4 bracelets in 17 minutes. At this rate, how many bracelets can she make in 34 minutes?
andrew11 [14]
4 bracelets/17 minutes = x bracelets/34 minutes
cross multiply: 4 · 34 = 17 · x
Divide both sides by 17: (4 · 34)/17 = x
x = 8

Answer: 8 bracelets
