Answer:

There is a formula for this:

[Worker 1 Time * Worker 2 Time] / [Worker 1 Time + Worker 2 Time]

[2 * 1.5] / [2 + 1.5] = 3.0 / 3.5

= 0.8571428571 Hours =

51.43 minutes

Both Jenna and Juan are INCORRECT.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 job / 2 hours + 1 job / 1.5 hours = 1 job / x  When they work together.

1/2 + 1/1.5 = 1/x                Basic Equation. Change to decimal form

0.5 + 0.6666 = 1/x          Add like terms on the left

1.1666666 = 1/x              Multiply by x on both sides.

1.1666667 x = 1               Divide by 1.16666667

x = 1 / 1.166667               Do the division.

x = 0.8571428              

x = 6/7 of an hour.

This kind of question will <em>always</em> produce an answer that is less than the smallest number.

So the answer must be smaller than 2 hours or 1.5 hours.

Cos (90-theta) • cosec90-theta) =tano. How?​
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<u>______________________________________________________</u>

<u>TRIGONOMETRY IDENTITIES TO BE USED IN THE QUESTION :-</u>

For any right angled triangle with one angle α ,

  • \cos (90 - \alpha  ) = \sin \alpha  or  \sin(90 - \alpha ) = \cos\alpha
  • cosec \: (90 - \alpha  ) = \sec\alpha   or  \sec(90 - \alpha ) = cosec\:\alpha

<u>SOME GENERAL TRIGNOMETRIC FORMULAS :-</u>

  • <u></u>\sin \alpha = \frac{1}{cosec \: \alpha }  or  cosec \: \alpha  = \frac{1}{\sin \alpha }
  • <u></u>\cos \alpha = \frac{1}{\sec \alpha }  or  \sec \alpha = \frac{1}{\cos \alpha }

<u>______________________________________________________</u>

Now , lets come to the question.

In a right angled triangle , let one angle be α (in place of theta) .

So , lets solve L.H.S.

\cos (90 - \alpha ) \times cosec(90 - \alpha )

=> sin\alpha  \times \sec\alpha

=> \sin\alpha  \times \frac{1}{\cos\alpha }

=> \frac{\sin\alpha }{\cos\alpha }

=> \tan\alpha = R.H.S.

∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)
