Answer:

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formulae for cosine

cos(x ± y) = cosxcosy ∓ sinxsiny

---------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 + x) = cos120cosx - sin120sinx

                   = - cos60cosx - sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2} cosx - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} sinx

squaring to obtain cos² (120 + x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------

cos(120 - x) = cos120cosx + sin120sinx

                   = -cos60cosx + sin60sinx

                   = - \frac{1}{2}cosx + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinx

squaring to obtain cos²(120 - x)

= \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Putting it all together

cos²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x + \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x + \frac{1}{4}cos²x - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}sinxcosx + \frac{3}{4}sin²x

= cos²x + \frac{1}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}cos²x + \frac{3}{2}sin²x

= \frac{3}{2}(cos²x + sin²x) = \frac{3}{2}

investment historically have doubled every 9 years if you start with $2000 investment how much money would you have after 45 yea
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
First you would divide 45 by 9 to see how many times it will double which gives you 5. Then, you would multiply 2000 by 2^5 (or just 2000x2x2x2x2x2) to get $64000
