Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4

1/4 of 12 = 3

4 is 1 more than 3.

The number is 12.

_____

If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:

x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1

x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)

x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

What is the range of a cosine function?

klemol [59]

The smallest y can be is y = -1. The largest it can be is y = 1. The value of y can be anything in between. The value of y is a real number.

Answer: Choice D) All real numbers between -1 and 1 including -1 and 1

Note: we can write that as $-1 \le y \le 1$ which in interval notation would look like $[-1, 1]$ . The square brackets tell us to include the endpoints.

Yaneev thinks of a number y. He subtracts three from the number, then doubles it. Then he subtracts three again, and doubles the

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is y.

According to the question,

Step 1 . subtracts three from the number (y-3), then doubles it

i.e. Final number = 2(y-3)

Step 2 . subtracts three again i.e. (2(y-3)-3), and doubles the number again

i.e. Final result = 2(2(y-3)-3)

If the result is his original number y, then

2(2(y-3)-3) =y

⇒ 2(2y-6-3)=y [ using distributive property]

⇒ 2(2y-9)=y

⇒ 2(2y)-2(9)=y [ using distributive property]

⇒ 4y -18=y

⇒ 4y -y= 18

⇒ 3y= 18

⇒ y= 6 [Divide both sides by 3]

Hence, y=6
