Answer:

sin(2x) = -4/5
cos(2x) = 3/5
tan(2x) = -4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be easiest to start with tan(2x).

tan(2x) = 2tan(x)/(1 -tan(x)²)

tan(2x) = 2(-1/2)/(1 -(-1/2)²) = -1/(3/4)

tan(2x) = -4/3 . . . . . still a 4th-quadrant angle

Then cosine can be found from ...

cos(2x) = 1/√(tan(2x)² +1) = 1/√((-4/3)²+1) = √(9/25)

cos(2x) = 3/5

Sine can be found from these two:

sin(2x) = cos(2x)tan(2x) = (3/5)(-4/3)

sin(2x) = -4/5

Find the equation of the straight line which passes through each of the following pairs of points.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find slope:

$y2 - y1 / x2 - x1$

$10 - 4/ 3 - 1 = 6 / 2 = 3$

Then, put the equation into point-slope form using the point (1, 4):

$y - y1 = m(x - x1)$

where m is the slope

y - 4 = 3(x - 1)

If you want to put this into slope-intercept form, it would be

$y-4=3(x-1)\\y - 4 = 3x - 3\\y = 3x + 1$

Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work. After the 12 men have worked for 1 hour, the contractor decides to call in 8

Anna71 [15]

Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job
