During a storm, two teams of scientist leave a university at the same time in vans to search for tornadoes. The first team trave

ls east at 20 miles per hour and the second travels west at 25 mph. If their radios have a range of up to 90 miles, how long will it be before they lose radio contact?

Answer:

Their contact will end after 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let east be positive and west be negative.

The first team travels east at 20 miles per hour.

Speed of first team = 20 mph

The second team travels west at 25 mph

Speed of second team = -25 mph

Relative speed = 20- (-25) = 45 mph

Range of radio = 90 miles

We need to find how long will it be before they lose radio contact.

           Distance = Time x Speed

            90 = Time x 45

            Time = 2 hours

Their contact will end after 2 hours.

Show tan(???? − ????) = tan(????)−tan(????) / 1+tan(????) tan(????)<br> .
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to proof the following identity:

tan(x-y) = \frac{tan(x) -tan(y)}{1+ tan(x) tan(y)}

We need to begin with the definition of tangent:

tan (x) =\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}

So we can replace into our formula and we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{sin(x-y)}{cos(x-y)}   (1)

We have the following identities useful for this case:

sin(a-b) = sin(a) cos(b) - sin(b) cos(a)

cos(a-b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin (a) sin(b)

If we apply the identities into our equation (1) we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{sin(x) cos(y) - sin(y) cos(x)}{sin(x) sin(y) + cos(x) cos(y)}   (2)

Now we can divide the numerator and denominato from expression (2) by \frac{1}{cos(x) cos(y)} and we got this:

tan(x-y) = \frac{\frac{sin(x) cos(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)} - \frac{sin(y) cos(x)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}{\frac{sin(x) sin(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)} +\frac{cos(x) cos(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}

And simplifying we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{tan(x) -tan(y)}{1+ tan(x) tan(y)}

And this identity is satisfied for all:

(x-y) \neq \frac{\pi}{2} +n\pi

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?
SVEN [57.7K]
So say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
